JViews Maps 8.6 Release Notes

This document describes the main changes that have been made to JViews Maps since version 8.5.

• ilog.views.maps.format.geotiff.IlvRasterGeoTiffReader
• ilog.views.maps.raster.IlvRasterAbstractReader

Incompatibilities

• The ilog.views.maps.propertysheet.SpringUtilities class is no longer available. If you were using it, you should replace your code by uses of, for example, GridLayout

Modified Classes

ilog.views.maps.format.geotiff.IlvRasterGeoTiffReader

• Overview of new features:
  • When importing GeoTIFF data, the projection information is sometimes incomplete or missing. By default, a dialog used to be displayed for the user to enter the information.
    It is now possible to prevent this at the IlvRasterGeoTiffReader level, not having to find the internal GeotiffReader.
• New methods:
  • isInteractiveProjectionInputEnabled(): Returns true if the interactive input of the projection is enabled.
  • setInteractiveProjectionInputEnabled(boolean): Enables the display of a dialog when projection information is missing (default true).

ilog.views.maps.raster.IlvRasterAbstractReader

• Overview of new features:
  • When determining the image projected bounds, we iterate along the border of the image to compute the projected points, in order to determine the maximum englobing bounds. It is now possible to decide the number of points used in this iteration.
• New methods:
  • getDefaultMaximumIntervalsForDeterminingImageLocation(): Returns the default maximum number of intervals for determining image location.
  • setDefaultMaximumIntervalsForDeterminingImageLocation(int): Sets the default number of intervals on the border of an image for the purpose of determining its location in the manager.

Example Changes

• Many of the examples and code fragments are shipped with a set of data files, images, and icons. These have been upgraded to conform to the latest IBM standards.
• The "Traffic Monitoring Application based on Google Map" sample was removed. Please contact support if you want to access its source code.
