Hi Hubert,

yes national text is enabled in vector chart options.

janth...

To build OCPN with debug symbols included, do this:

$mkdir build
$cd build
$cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
$make

You should see a typical compile command as:

[  2%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/GARMINHOST.dir/src/garmin/jeeps/garmin_wrapper.cpp.o
.
.
.
 -Wall -Wno-unused -fexceptions -rdynamic  -g -fno-strict-aliasing  -O0  
-DPREFIX=\"/usr/local\" -o CMakeFiles/GARMINHOST.dir/src/garmin/jeeps
/garmin_wrapper.cpp.o -c /home/dsr/Projects/opencpn/src/garmin/jeeps
/garmin_wrapper.cpp

Note the "-O0" parameter (Optimization level 0), and the "-g" also.

Good Luck
Dave

Hi Dave,

thanks for your reply. I have already tried that, but when I then try "gdb opencpn" then it says there are no debug symbols ?

Try running OCPN from the build directory, e.g.

$cd build
$ gdb ./opencpn

Hi Dave,

thanks, that did the trick :-)

So looking forward to see your crash dump(s). It is quite urgent as we have to evaluate if we package this into an updated version of the plug-in quite quickly.

Does anyone know where a feature such as FAIRWAY is associated with a color? It does not matter what color palette I am using, I just want to know what color pattern it is associated with like NODTA. Thank you.

[rgleason]

Please explain what you are talking about.

There is an xml file that creates the color palettes such as DAY-BRIGHT or DUSK that has all of the same color names such as NODTA and it associates an RGB color value with that particular color in that particular color palette. I wanted to know how the software associates a color such as NODTA with a layer like FAIRWY or DMPGRD for instance. I don't see anywhere that explicitly states that this layer receives this color.

The display style of chart objects is defined by the presentation library part of the S-57/S-52 standard.
If you look at the very same chartsymbols.xml file where you found the color definitions, just further down, you will find the definition of the display of different chart objects. You will also see that it is not as simple as a color assignment, but there are rules defined for every object, which lead to the symbolization definitions even further down in the same XML file or, in the most complicated cases to code in https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/b...rc/s52cnsy.cpp

There is some documentation at https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...vector_palette

Just downloaded OpenCPN 4.8.0 The software said I didn't need plug in to get charts since this version already included it int he download. But . . . I can't find the screen to select charts. No icon or instructions.

I'm not all that computer savvy. Suggestions how to find?

I'm running Windows 10.

Thanks

Jimske,

Go to the Toolbar > Wrench, which is "Options" settings. Then find "plugins" then try "Enabling" the plugin.

You might want to check this page in the Manual

I am not sure you understood what you the "software said". Charts are not included with the program. OpenCPN includes a plugin that can download charts and install them for you. But you have to tell it which charts you want to download. All of that is explained in the user manual here:

https://opencpn.org/wiki/dokuwiki/do...downloader_tab

If you still can't figure out how to get free US charts come back here and we will help you.

I don't have any icon for wrench in the toolbar.

User manual says go to the chart downloader tab. That's my problem. I don't have that tab. All I have is the "Traditional" tab.
