I've committed the first batch of cleanups for the SVG tiles. The last time I touched these files, it looks like there was some slight variation in the hex size and positioning within the image canvas. This was causing some unpredictable positioning when these images were laid out on the map as well as some strange skewing when applying an affine transform. So, I'm going back and adjusting all of the tiles to better fit within the canvas dimensions. I'm fairly happy with the results. The 1830 map looks significantly more uniform. The other thing I'm working on, but haven't committed yet is a solution for the horrible dithering on the map. In large part, this is due to AffineTransform's scale() method. We use HexIcons for the tile lay preview, which does an excellent smooth rescaling. I'd love to use HexIcons for the map, but there's no way to rotate a HexIcon. So, I'm exploring a few different ways of removing the need to use AffineTransform's scale() method. ---Brett. |

I hope your further efforts will clean it all up! Erik. |

Also, I've committed some adjustments to the tile scaling constants. Now, when we load a tile, it's a significantly smaller image that doesn't need much rescaling. This simplifies the drawing calculations so that we don't lose as much information when we rescale the image during a paint(). This improves the look of the SVG tiles immensely. I'm really happy with the results. With this tile work and the undo/redo work complete, if there are no objections, I'll do another release in the next day or so. ---Brett. |

Do I need some property setting? =20 > With this tile work and the undo/redo work complete, if there are no > objections, I'll do another release in the next day or so. No objections. Just two remarks: - I'm well on my way with Save/Load. Save is done, but, of course,=20 Load is the difficult part. I can't guarantee completion in the 2=BD weeks before I'm going on vacation (Aug. 10th), but the prospect isn't bad, so it might be worth the wait. - Not sure, but I may have fixed one or two remaining bugs while working = on Save/Load. If you want, I could upload the current code (with = Save/Load still disabled). It should all work, but that would need extra testing. Erik. |
