Because
- OTF reprojection is mature and stable
- Should be no cost when not required - transforms are shortcut
when not required
- Reduces code complexity
- Canvas OTF support was being incorrectly used as a flag for
whether measurements should be made in ellipsoidal mode. Instead
the project's ellipsoid setting should be checked for this.
- Should simplify behavior for new users
This change is being driven by:
- need for consistent terminology in the api. Currently there's
a confusing mix of border/outline used
- need for consistent terminology in the gui - we have a mix
of "border"/"outline"/"pen"
- bringing QGIS into line with the standard terminology used
in other graphic editing programs
This adds a new interactive "curve" to the assistant widgets.
It allows you to fine tune exactly how input values get
mapped to output sizes/colors/etc.
Think GIMP or Photoshop curves, but for your data...
Qt5 allows runtime detection of touch devices. This commit reworks
the current touch map tool by pulling its behavior into the normal
pan tool when a touch device is detected.
It avoids the need for a seperate map tool for touch interaction,
and also avoids having this tool always appear on the Windows
builds (regardless of the presence of a touch device)
Splits the rendering component of annotations out from map
canvas item component.
A new core abstract base class QgsAnnotation handles the
management of the common properties associated with an
annotation, and handles rendering the annotation onto a
QgsRenderContext destination.
Existing annotation classes have been ported to this, and
with the exception of the form annotation moved into core.
Form annotations are dependant on editor widgets and must
remain in GUI.
A new QgsMapCanvasAnnotationItem item class implements
a QgsMapCanvasItem which draws an annotation inside the
canvas, and handles synchronising the position and size
of the canvas item with the QgsAnnotation position/size.
This allows annotations to be safely used in a multi-canvas
environment, with a single QgsAnnotation being displayed
in multiple canvases (even if the canvases have different
extent/crs/etc).
Additionally it allows annotations to be directly rendered
to a map (eg in composer) without going through the
gui based Qt graphics scene framework.
Also removes lots of duplicate code, and adds some basic
unit tests for annotations.
Instead make the layer tree canvas bridge advise on layer set
changes, and tie this into composer. So now composer acts
as a go-between to sync the composer map item's layer set to
the layer tree/canvas layers.
It's not an ideal solution, but avoids the hard link between
compositions and the map canvas.
Remove QgsAbstractProperty and subclasses, and instead use a single
QgsProperty class which covers the use of QgsAbstractProperty
and its subclasses. This simplifies the API and avoids pointer
handling. QgsProperty is implicitly shared for memory efficiency
and inexpensive copies.
Instead of defining the suitable field types and values for
properties when registering them to a data defined button,
now properties are fully defined when the valid
property keys are defined.

- Checking/unchecking a group doesn't change the check state of its children.
A node is visible if and only if it is checked and all its parents too.
- There is no more a semi-checked state for a group
- Ctrl-clic on a unchecked group will check the group and all its descendants.
- Ctrl-clic on a unchecked layer will check the lager and all its parents.
- Ctrl-clic on a checked group will uncheck the group and all its descendants.
- Ctrl-clic on a checked layer will uncheck the layer and all its parents.
- Those actions are available in contextual menu items in the tree view.
- Invisible layers because they or their parent(s) is unchecked are greyed out.
