Skorpion,

May be this have nothing to do with you trouble, but,
I am wondering if Windows is handling Directory names with spaces very well, it will be better to replace the space by another sign.

keep us informed.

Installing with git on fresh Debian install ends at 65% with the following error:

Any help would be appreciated

Scorpion and Nevermind...

OK, this is a real bug I think.

Somehow your XP systems report incorrectly the attached monitor size.
We need to allow for this possibility in the OpenCPN startup case.
I'll fix that.

Do you have multi-monitor setup? This could be a cause....

Meanwhile, you may continue with testing by manually setting the Physical Screen Width in Options->Display->Advanced.

Close and restart OCPN, all should be well.

Thanks for the report
Dave

re:

This is a bug.
It will happen if you are building without OpenGL. Should build fine with OpenGL enabled.

I'll correct the bug. But meanwhile you may simply remove the offending lines:

chcanv.cpp:3830

 
//           if( g_bopengl && g_bShowFPS){
//                wxString fps_str;
//                double fps = 0.;
//                if( g_gl_ms_per_frame > 0){
//                    fps = 1000./ g_gl_ms_per_frame;
//                    fps_str.Printf(_T("  %3d fps"), (int)fps);
//                }
//                text += fps_str;
//            }

Thanks for the report

Here is a free online French Keyboard showing ascii, perhaps it will help too.

Serge...

Some confusion, I think. Maybe the documentation is not clear...

The CTRL key does not modify the mouse clicks at all.
It does modify the arrow (direction) keys.

CTRL-RightArrowKey is same as F8
CTLR-LeftArrowKey is same as F7

Is this OK for you?

Thanks
Dave

Keyboard Shortcuts | Official OpenCPN Homepage

Larger Scale Chart Ctrl-Left (or F7) Cmd-Left Smaller Scale Chart Ctrl-Right (or F8) Cmd-Right

• F7 Larger Scale Raster Chart (Scale In) or Ctrl + Left-Arrow
• F8 Smaller Scale Raster Chart (Scale Out) or Ctrl + Right-Arrow

Its clear.

After deleting and redoing my github/rgleason/opencpn and my local c:/github/opencpn to pull from 'upstream' github.com/opencpn/opencpn.git
such that I am no longer "ahead"

I recompiled for Windows, tested and uploaded to Opencpn Beta File Thingie, just to be sure everything was in compliance with the current Beta.

By the way, it would be very helpful to be able to increase the font size for Depths in CM93 or ENC charts. Is there a way to do that?

LASTO Toggles (Lights, Anchorage details, Soundings, Text, Outine of Charts)

Under Options > UI > Fonts Dropdown there is "Chart Text" selection but no
"Chart Soundings" selection.

For my eyes, I would very much like to increase the size of the "Chart Soundings" if possible. - Yes, Gille and Bdcat, it is feature creep. Maybe I have to learn to program that.

Rick...
The soundings are not text... They are symbols being part of the S52 presentation library.

Pavel

[rgleason]

Darn, can a "Sounding" symbol be increased in size?
Probably very expensive.

How does all the manufacturers do this? Garmin, Ray, Simrad in their Chartplotters?
It is just a selection in Settings. (at least for Garmin, for sure)

Rick..

O makes a serious effort to be compliant with IHO standards for ECDIS display of cartography. And those symbols are part of the standard.

I know of no other non-approved ECS that follows IHO standards as well as we do. Most stand-alone chart plotters don't even try, but focus on pretty pictures.

To anyone who knows about s52 Chart Sounding symbols...

I am not interested in pretty pictures necessarily, I just would like to be able to see soundings without my glasses when I am in the cockpit, which seems very reasonable to me. Why would ECDIS insist that Soundings symbols be a certain size, or font weight even?

In reading about the s52 symbols, I realized that vector charts take multiple soundings and must summarize based upon chart scale and then must display a calculated average at a certain density. I am simply asking why I can't increase the proportional size of the displayed soundings because there seems to be enough chart area to increase it perhaps 10-15% with no ill effect? (It certainly will not be a pretty picture, but I and others will not have to wear glasses!)

Why are we allowed to increase the size of "Text" but not "Soundings"?

Also why this?
s52plib.cpp Line 3993

//  We may be rendering the soundings symbols scaled up, so
//  adjust the inclusion test bounding box
    double scale_factor = vp->ref_scale/vp->chart_scale;
    double box_mult = wxMax((scale_factor - g_overzoom_emphasis_base), 1);
    int box_dim = 32 * box_mult;

Couldn't we just scale them up by a factor of 1.10 using "scale_factor"?

Right click on a Sounding "162" in a CM93 chart and pick "Object Query"
Scroll to the bottom of the window "Depth Area (DEPARE) 150 ft - 180 ft

In an ENC chart the notation is the same.
