OpenCPN Version 5.1.511 Beta Test

[bdbcat]

Rasbats....


GetPluginDataDir() does not exist in OpenCPN v5.0. Most likely, the plugin fails to load due to to a linkage error.
If you want to build "legacy" mode plugins and managed plugins with the same code base, you will need to implement some build-time switch to determine which API to use.

Pls have patience with a native Win user.
How do I add the beta ppa to Synaptic on my Ubuntu 18.04? (ppa:opencpn/opencpn works fine for 5.0 but...)
Thanks

Go to this page https://launchpad.net/~bdbcat/+archive/ubuntu/opencpn
and follow the instructions. The new repository will automatically show up in Synaptic.

I think it's also clipped in your example, look at the soundings 1.8 or 1.3..
but probably less (around one or two pixels).

Maybe there is something wrong in the bounding box calculation, the code
is quite complex, haven't really understood the calculation done there

BTW: This only happens when using OpenGL. Next guess is DepthFont::Build() ?

[P_Dub]

As far as the grid is concern try switching on and off the OpenGL and see what happened. Opencpn freeze then you have to close and restart. With opengl off the grid is present, when on no more grid.

re:
"It looks like the lower part of the digit is clipped by a few pixels. ... I must admit that I use a home-built version of OCPN and not the current beta distribution, but it's more or less on the same git-commit."


In computer code, "more or less the same" is exactly equivalent to "different".


Have you tried the true Beta release? Exactly what charts are you showing? What is your Chart Object Scale factor set to?


Thanks

OpenCPN_5.1.511+1.34f3279.dmg

Clean install. TCData seems to be missing.

Small Bug found by elan 333.

This is a problem, at least for Linux using *buntu, an O version 5.0 and up.
Screenshots below from Kubuntu 20.04 using O with the latest(this morning) code patches from Git.





Exactly how this looks like depends on the window manager used by the distro.

Essentially, the background color is missing when the item is marked in the Options->Charts->Chart Files->Directories. Notice the missing blue highlighting.

Compare with the same directory listing in the "Chart Groups" tab, where it's shown correctly.

Hi Dave

Installed OpenCPN_5.1.511+1.556ae2f.dmg from cloudsmith now and
I see the same effect. Charts in my screenshots are from o-charts (UK2019) using oeSENC, but I have exactly the same effect with CM93.

Chart Object Scalefactor is 0. The clipping only occurs when OpenGL is enabled. MacOS Release is 10.14.6 (Mojave)

EDIT: just noticed commit abf9fe84af2ffb586227d399803f7718a850542
It solves the problem for cm93. oeSENC seems to have it's own version of the libs, so I'll guess it'll be fixed in the next plugin update.


Thanks

Heading prediction line is interrupted at great zoom level when own ship is outside the screen edge..

On Win10. OpenGL=On. (Not reproducible when OpenGL=Off)
The heading prediction line is interrupted at great zoom levels. The end circle is still left on correct position but the dotted line is interrupted. See shots at three zoom levels.
- The Heading Prediction line is here set to 5 Nm.
- Not reproducible on a Ubuntu 18.04.
- Reproducible on a RPI3 Stretch but there is the corresponding interruption exchanged by a full line instead. Instead of a space between the dotted line and the end circle it's a homogeneous line.
- No difference if oeSENC or Raster charts are used.
- One or two canvas mode is the same.
- COG prediction line is not affected.
- Reported on V 5.1.428 as well. (Not tested on O 5.0)

Acknowledged.
As workaround for now, please do:


$sudo apt-get install opencpn-sglock-amd64


Thanks for the report
