New Standard Waypoint Icons For OpenCPN - Input Requested

[reflectionsv37]

I too would also like to see a slight increase in size. They're just a little too small right now.

I've been busy converting waypoints to the new icons. I like them! I noticed that in the Route Manager Waypoint display, the assigned icon for the waypoint is tiny with the new icons. These should be larger.

Dave...

log attached.

Same viewport, same setting 4.6.1 and 4.6.2, just opening and closing.
On 4.6.1 there is a small glitch, but not the complete quilting going wrong.
The log shows some garbage - you will know better what this is about.
This system has a complete mix of chart formats, though not S-63 nor oeSENC plug-in under 4.6.2




New Diamond compared to old.
New symbols do not change in size modifying Object Scale factor.
The standard one yes.
The screen size is detected correctly.

Something fishy about your UserIcons folder. Please try with empty UserIcons folder, and see if that fixes the chart display.

Dave...

replacing UserIcons folder with a new empty one makes no difference.

You did a great job matching the old and new diamond sizes - they are virtually identical. However, I made the svg diamond slightly bigger than the old png diamond. The consequence is that using the diamond icons to scale things, the rest of the icons are now substantially smaller than the png versions. That being said, the original .png icons are too large again.

The perfect size for me will be somewhere between the png icons and the scaled svg icons.

I think I need to redesign the svg diamond as per original size, you can then adjust your scaling accordingly (get the diamonds to match in size) - and the rest of the svg icons will automatically appear larger. That should render the perfect size.

Hubert....

All very odd.

Please temporarily remove or relocate everything in
C:\ProgramData\opencpn\SENC.

This will cause all standard S57 SENCs to be rebuilt as needed. Will not disturb oeSENCs.

Strange, because the SENC format should not have changed for this version.

without moving the SENC just launching "prepare all ENC charts"

and

etc...
chart cache purge

did end the spooky story.

Strange indeed as it did show up only in 4.6.2 and not in 4.6.1
You merged quite a lot of commits yesterday...

Hello Dave

I now remade the svg diamond to the same size as the standard Opencpn diamond. As can be seen from the attached image, the svg diamond is now smaller than the standard OpenCPN diamond. If you scale things so that the new svg and the standard diamond icons are the same - the other icons will increase slightly in size - yielding a near perfect icon size all round.

I will email you the new version of icons within the next couple of minutes - OpenCPN SVG Icons v4.0.rar

OK, back to the icons.

You say that changing the chart object scale slider does not affect the SVG icons?

Try this:
Override the screen size to something close, like 290 mm.
Then restart, and try the scaling.

Thanks
Dave

By the way, what was the really huge PNG file in your UserIcons folder?

Revelations...

OK, thanks, I'll look for it.

Now, I think we can incorporate the SVG icons as standard build, completely replacing the PNG Mark icons.

However, to do this, we need to "map" a new SVG icon into the same name as all of the existing PNG icons. That way, as existing routes, waypoint sets, etc. are loaded, they will automatically shift to the new icons. No-one will need to edit their carefully created waypoint lists.

Here is the relevant code:

    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("empty") ), _T("empty"), _T("Empty") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("airplane") ), _T("airplane"), _T("Airplane") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("anchorage") ), _T("anchorage"), _T("Anchorage") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("anchor") ), _T("anchor"), _T("Anchor") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("boarding") ), _T("boarding"), _T("Boarding Location") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("boundary") ), _T("boundary"), _T("Boundary Mark") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("bouy1") ), _T("bouy1"), _T("Bouy Type A") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("bouy2") ), _T("bouy2"), _T("Bouy Type B") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("campfire") ), _T("campfire"), _T("Campfire") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("camping") ), _T("camping"), _T("Camping Spot") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("coral") ), _T("coral"), _T("Coral") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("fishhaven") ), _T("fishhaven"), _T("Fish Haven") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("fishing") ), _T("fishing"), _T("Fishing Spot") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("fish") ), _T("fish"), _T("Fish") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("float") ), _T("float"), _T("Float") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("food") ), _T("food"), _T("Food") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("fuel") ), _T("fuel"), _T("Fuel") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("greenlite") ), _T("greenlite"), _T("Green Light") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("kelp") ), _T("kelp"), _T("Kelp") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("light") ), _T("light1"), _T("Light Type A") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("light1") ), _T("light"), _T("Light Type B") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("litevessel") ), _T("litevessel"), _T("Light Vessel") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("mob") ), _T("mob"), _T("MOB") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("mooring") ), _T("mooring"), _T("Mooring Bouy") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("oilbouy") ), _T("oilbouy"), _T("Oil Bouy") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("platform") ), _T("platform"), _T("Platform") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("redgreenlite") ), _T("redgreenlite"), _T("Red/Green Light") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("redlite") ), _T("redlite"), _T("Red Light") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("rock1") ), _T("rock1"), _T("Rock (exposed)") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("rock2") ), _T("rock2"), _T("Rock, (awash)") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("sand") ), _T("sand"), _T("Sand") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("scuba") ), _T("scuba"), _T("Scuba") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("shoal") ), _T("shoal"), _T("Shoal") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("snag") ), _T("snag"), _T("Snag") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("square") ), _T("square"), _T("Square") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("triangle") ), _T("triangle"), _T("Triangle") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("diamond") ), _T("diamond"), _T("Diamond") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("circle") ), _T("circle"), _T("Circle") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("wreck1") ), _T("wreck1"), _T("Wreck A") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("wreck2") ), _T("wreck2"), _T("Wreck B") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("xmblue") ), _T("xmblue"), _T("Blue X") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("xmgreen") ), _T("xmgreen"), _T("Green X") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("xmred") ), _T("xmred"), _T("Red X") );
    ProcessIcon( style->GetIcon( _T("activepoint") ), _T("activepoint"), _T("Active WP") );

In each line, the first string is the file name, the second is the icon name that appears in the properties page drop list, and the third line is a description, currently unused.

So, for each line in this list, we need an SVG icon file name that will replace the existing PNG.

Some are obvious: e.g. for PNG-"diamond" we use SVG-"Symbol-Diamond.svg". Other require some thought, and maybe a few new icons. As default, if nothing can be made to match, we would probably use "Symbol-Circle.svg"

Will you walk thru this list and give me the recommended SVG file names?

Thanks
Dave

Nothing in special - see screen shot.
BTW.: restoring the UserIcon folder the offending png is back.
But does not break quilting anymore...
Now, renaming the big boat png icon to "non-png" will surpress the hick-up.



Setting screen width to 290mm manually does not change the result.
No reaction on new icons changing the factor
