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
* Save more data to QML
* Virtual fields
* Map tips
* Display expression
* Read only flag
* Streamline expression context generation
Whenever an object is able to generate an expression context it
implements the method createExpressionContext() declared in
QgsExpressionContextGenerator.
This makes a cleaner API and allows using QgsFieldExpressionWidget and
QgsDataDefinedButton from python because standard OO programming
approaches are used instead of callbacks and void pointers.
* Colorize output of doc and sip tests
* Fix build
* Fix sip complaints
* Fix rebase problems
* Workaround failing bindings test
Allows composer map grid annotations in custom formats which are
evaluated using QgsExpressions. Made possible through the use
of Expression Contexts(tm)!
* defer initialization of map settings until after QgsApplication is initialized
* disable local server test
* set ogr encoding in qgsserver testproject.qgs
This change adds a new descending vertical direction mode for
map grid annotations. Previously only ascending text was
supported for vertical annotations.
Previous behaviour was to clip transformed grid lines to the visible
map extent. This caused problems if a map item had no border (a
solid line would be shown along the map extent), and also meant
that reprojected lines which crossed out of the map extent and back
in again did not have annotations or grid frame markings shown.
Also implement an improved logic for detecting the map frame side
for annotations.
Previously, for rotated maps or reprojected grids, the composer would
draw all coordinates for every map side. This resulted in a mix of
latitude/y and longitude/x coordinates showing on a side. This change
allows users to control whether they want all coordinates, latitude
only or longitude only for each map frame side. Similar options have
also been added for controlling how a map grid frame is divided.
In related news... the composer map dialog is now the ugliest,
most cluttered and un-user friendly dialog in all of QGIS. I'd
love suggestions/mockups from the UX team for ways this could
be improved.
drawing ticks only inside the map frame, drawing ticks outside
the frame, or drawing ticks both inside and outside the frame.
