#382 Delete Incremental Warping Vector tool does not work
With OpenJUMP r.4108 PLUS it is possible to draw vectors with "Draw Incremental Warping Vector" and see the warping result immediately but the "Delete Incremental Warping Vector" does not do anything useful. It just flashes the symbol that is clicked with the tool.
This warping utility is probably not very popular because it does not work even in OpenJUMP 1.3.1 from year 2010. Or then it has to do with jre versions.
It would also be better to render the incremental warping vectors as lines like the normal warping vectors. Now the incremental vector has only a pin symbol in the end point of the vector.
Same behavior with r5081. The bug may have something to do with hard coded layer names. With English locale the create tool writes vectors into "Incremental warping vectors" layer. Using the "Delete Incremental Warping Vector" tool for some reason creates a new "Warping Vectors" layer. It would be nice to see how this tool was planned to work.
Jukka, could you provide recent background? is it still not working?
if so, we have 2 alternatives
which would you suggest. ..ede
It behaves as before. I think that I understand now better how the tool works and I could even use it. The idea is that Warping Vectors are the same in normal and incremental warping and they affect the original geometries. The difference is that with the incremental tool the user is (after the first vector) drawing vectors relative to the warped geometry. The tool takes care of converting the vector that is drawn for the already warped geometry to fit for the original geometry.
The delete incremental warping vector tool should delete one feature from two layers: a point feature from "Incremental Warping Vectors", and a linestring from "Warping Vectors" that has the end point at the same location than the point.
I am not sure how hard the fix would be. The first aid could be to de-activate or remove the Delete Incremental Warping Vector tool. That the tool does not work at the moment means that if user makes an error with incremental warping they can only delete all the vectors and start from the beginning. If you can point me where the source code is I can try to have a look if there is some simple bug.
Jukka,
Should be fixed in r6601, please, have a test.
Yes, warping vectors can be removed and warping result updates by the same. Quite a nice tool.
