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
spell check will be done automatically in words by default (when some conditions are fulfilled)
possibility to avoid in words checking by adding :* at the end in spelling.dat
one can add #spellok at the end of a line of code to skip spell check on this line
Previously pictures could only be synced to grid north, which
can be totally wrong for many CRSes (especially in polar areas)
Users now are given a choice of grid or true north, and can also
enter an optional offset to apply if eg magnetic north is instead
desired.
When synced to true north the bearing is calculated using the
centre point of the linked map item.
Fix#192, #4711
This fix was sponsored by the Norwegian Polar Institute's
Quantarctica project (http://quantarctica.npolar.no) and
coordinated by Faunalia.
- rename methods with XML to Xml, CRS to Crs, WMS to Wms, ID to Id
- rename methods with SRS to Crs
- rename methods with abbreviations like "dest" to "destination"
- rename methods with abbreviations like "src" to "source"
This makes it possible to change SVG fill/outline color and outline
width when using parameterised SVG files such as those included
with QGIS (fix#10542)
Rationale:
- there was a lot of large objects passed by value, so potentially
there's a speed bump from this
- even for implicitly shared classes like QString/QList there's still
a (small) cost for copying the objects when there's no reason to
- it's the right thing to do!
- update methods of existing classes
- add comment to methods missing in the sip bindings
- split up collective sip files into single files and use
same directory structure in python/ as in src/
- add a lot of missing classes (some might not make sense because of
missing python methods in those classes)
- remove some non-existing methods from the header files
- add scripts/sipdiff
- replace some usages of std::vector and std::set with QVector/QSet
