Re: [Celestia-developers] Importance weighted labels

[Da W. J. <dir...@gm...>]

I just posted an updated patch for importance weighted labels that
uses an effectiveDistance calculation using pixelSize to correct for
FOV and screen size.

The patch is attached to the SourceForge bug tracker item:
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1819757&group_id=21302&atid=121302)

Cheers,
DW
