Re: [Rails-devel] Background Maps

OK, I have committed the current code, which includes an SVG background map for 18EU (contributed by Bill Rosgen, IIRC). To enable seeing the map, one entry needs be added to your custom my.properties file (I haven't tried to update the configuration menu yet): - map.image.display=yes (default no, in which case everything works as before). I have included Bill Rosgen's patch to highlight selected hexes somewhat differently. Currently, it only affects display when the map is used. The original highlighting looks ugly in this case. Please don't Zoom in serious play when the map image is used: it does not yet work as it should. When I try, the tiles rescale correctly, and so does the map image, but the latter soon gets out of sync. It's not clear to me how JSVGCanvas rescaling+resizing should be programmed the right way. A scaling affine transform works fine, which is what I used initially. But it not change the canvas size, so part of the map becomes invisible on zooming in. Only setting the canvas bounds (setBounds()) initially does the whole job, and this is what I'm currently using. But on repeated zooming actions, it seems to rescale the map image only every other time. Doing both (scale and setBounds) upscales the map twice. It may be a matter of timing, and perhaps some listener should be invoked, but I cannot find any pointer on what exactly would be needed.
