Mike, thanks, everything works

I do not see the plugin in Crowdin for translation into other languages

Ability to delete recorded depth marks on the map. We move the cursor to the mark, the right button is the command to delete.
When you hover the cursor over the depth mark, information is displayed with the date of measurement, the name of the Survey.
Setting the display of depth marks without a symbol only a number with the possibility of coloring depending on the depth.

Mea Culpa.

In the early days of this plugin I did not understand the format of the Spatialite Point object. For this reason I used lat, lon instead of lon, lat. This has now come back to bite me when trying to calculate distances between soundings.

For this reason I have decided to completely withdraw the plugin, pending a full re-write. The page in the dev manual has been removed and the github source renamed.

Hydromagic files made by the plugin should be correct and this will be the format to transfer to any new plugin.

Apologies for any problems caused.

Mike

Mike, sorry to hear about this.

Is it so bad a problem to switch the format? It seems to me that using an editor search function would find the instances pretty quickly.

The old page is still available under Old revisions.
I see that you have summarized the problem here

Version 3 of this plugin for OpenCPN 5, with many changes, is available here:

https://github.com/Rasbats/survey_pi/releases/tag/v3.0

Still a beta release which needs a lot of testing.
Still working on the Linux version.

Uses SVG icons.

Changes
Soundings are now saved in point format lon-lat. This affects any soundings saved in the sqlite file, with version 2. To fix this, export the survey to a Hydromagic,xyz or csv file. Delete the old survey and add a new survey. Import from the saved file into the new survey.

The sqlite database file is now built and saved in the appdata folder 'opencpn/plugins/survey'. libspatialite-amalgamation is not recommended and has been replaced by mod_spatialite. This change was necessary to use the full range of spatialite functions.

The lon-lat point format for the geometry objects can now be used with these functions.

A tidal correction is still in the code but it is not satisfactory. Intention is to replace this with tidal corrections entered in a text file that can be read and used by the plugin. This will allow separation between raw data and adjusted data.

Using OpenGL the soundings can be viewed without a sounding mark.
It is now possible to delete a sounding using right-click.

Windows
The plugin builds standalone without additional files.

Usage on Windows
Download the file 'mod_spatialite-4.3.0a-win-x86.7z' from Index of /gaia-sins/windows-bin-x86. Extract the files and place them in the main OpenCPN program (The folder containing 'opencpn.exe'). Then install the plugin.

Mike thanks for the update!

After adding mod_spatialite-4.3.0a-win-x86 files
CPN does not start swears at libpng16.dll

Rasbats · 14-03-2019, 03:46

Sorry, I see the problem. The zlib1.dll from 'mod_spatialite' overwrites the zlib1.dll from the OpenCPN installation. Reinstalling OpenCPN beta restores the correct zlib1.

BUT ... there is still a module missing and the plugin does not start. Now working on the reason for this.

Usage on Windows (Amended)
Download the file 'mod_spatialite-4.3.0a-win-x86.7z' from Index of /gaia-sins/windows-bin-x86. Extract the files. Place all the files EXCEPT 'zlib1.dll' and 'sqlite3.exe' in the main OpenCPN program folder (The folder containing 'opencpn.exe').

Download sqlite3.dll and place in the same folder.

It all worked! probably need to include sqlite3.dll in the source.

Here are a few comments and suggestions.
1. Delete sounding right click works through one or two points.
2. Does not apply to spotsoundings "use variamble depthcolours" or is this feature not implemented?
3. Font color does not change.
4. Switching to the "Profile" tab results in a CPN error.
5. None of the "Boat size, Sensor position" amendments
6. Auto start of the new survey from the distance of the last soundings does not work.
7. In the title of the new Survey does not understand the name in Cyrillic. Causes CPN Error
8. When the "Calculate tide" is off, the correction is still applied. Until you enter "0"
9. So it is not clear why the "+" and "-" buttons do not work.
10. The "Properties" button does not display Survey properties.
11. The "Zoom to" button does not display the entire Survey area on the screen but only the start of the recording.
12. In the Survey window, recording statistics are not updated in real time.
13. Tide values in the table are always 0.
14. It should be possible to hide the Survey window.
15. There must be a working keel offset correction.
16. Two depths should be recorded raw from the sonar sensor and with the correction of the water level.

Mike, is it possible to do something like a video?

Baikal...

Really appreciate the feedback. All good points.
Ref #8, #13: When time permits intend removing the present tide correction logic and going with a text file that can be edited to show the corrections, say every 15 minutes. These corrections would then be applied to a new table 'corrected_soundings'. This would achieve the separation between raw and corrected data.
Ref the video: We are into uncharted territory for me! Needs some research!

Had same problem will reinstall Opencpn over the top. Thanks Mike and Baikal

Now compiles and runs on Linux. There are still several things to fix.

Using the XPM symbols circle, cross and square I needed to change:

Code:

static char

To the following:

Code:

static const char

(For ISO C++)

Google helps yet again!

Version 3.1 is available on Github.

https://github.com/Rasbats/survey_pi/releases/tag/v3.1

This addresses some of the points about colours/symbols for the sounding marks.

Still working on offsets and tidal corrections etc.

Hi,

Thanks for you effort, could you provide me where I can find the "sqlite3.dll"?

Coloring the depth does not work!
There is also a problem with panaroning on a scale of more than 50,000. The Chart does not move with the mouse Zoom works
