Do you mean when the anchor alarm is triggered, it could have an option to move the new anchor position to where the boat has dragged to?

Or do you mean it should automatically reset the position whenever the anchor alarm is enabled?

actions
1. turn on anchor alarm - a circular area alarm is automatically created by the position of the vessel
2. turn off the anchor alarm - position zone reset

Suggestions for WatchDog UI
Add Checkbox to enable and disable the alarm

you need a field where one could press

[seandepagnier]

This is what I am seeing. If you click where the X is, it toggles it.

if you turn off the alarm by pressing the (X) there is an empty field!
That is why I suggest to make a checkbox that would be seen Switch

This is a good idea, I didn't understand. So I will put a box around the X, or you can contribute art work if you can make it look better.

I'm not a programmer unfortunately, but I can work with graphics and generate ideas.
I think that in the off mode will be quite a frame around

Sean..
I haven't used Watchdog for a while but I really like the "new" UI. I'll give it a test on my next trip.
I'm using Win, VS2010, OCPN 4.1.818 and got a build error; "couldn't find GL/glext.h". I commented out as of my diff below. Will that do any harm?

diff --git a/src/GL/gl.h b/src/GL/gl.h

Hakan,

I just added this file, it should build now.

[Hakan]

Sean..
Yes! now it builds fine.
Thanks/ Håkan

[Hakan]

Sean....again
First build and now also run for test. - Two issues:
1.
It seems that if the GL/glext.h is present the Landfall guard is pointing to a false direction. See the two pictures. The first is todays pull including GL/glext.h. The next is when I again has commented out as of the diff above. I haven't tested if it is only a graphic failure or if also the calculations are false.
2.
If I check the Landfall "Graphics enabled" box the yellow line is drawn, as in the pictures, but then Watchdog, and OCPN, hangs.
See the pictures. Translation from Swedish: Watchdog (Svarar inte) = Watchdog (Don't respond) This program halt is independent of if I have commented out GL/glext.h or not.

More details?, please ask.
Håkan
