|<nowiki> I really suggest to take a quick look at F-JJTH GPSMap196 - it's still a stub, much less functional than your work, but at least the code is compact that way. Understanding classes/OOP would be helpful though, but that will greatly simplify all your other work either way. So it would be worthwhile to read up a bit on OO and maybe work through 2-3 tutorials, or even just play with classes in the Nasal console. Let me know if you have any questions - better use the wiki for OO question, so that we can directly update the corresponding articles.</nowiki> | |||

|<nowiki>Procedural Charts | |<nowiki>Regarding your current way of text handling, yes, there is a much better way using Canvas - you are still using the old method that people used to use when canvas was not around, it is now deprecated. Like you say, the whole XML/setprop mess can be avoided these days by using Canvas. TheTom's CDU framework is using the new method</nowiki> | ||

|<nowiki>I don't like the idea at the moment: I've seen some tests you proposed in the developmnet of the 'Airport Location' dialog: looking at Boeing manuals we want to stick to real charts, hi-res, full of details for the pilot; we just want to display a crisp nice .jpg, or .png, or svg, file on the screen (Boeing 777's EFB has a fixed ratio of 1.412371 proportion between width and height); a nice possibility, though, would be to superimpose some symbols over those charts, in time)</nowiki> | |||

|<nowiki>Procedural charts are not needed - PDFs converted to PNGs should work just fine. Displaying symbol overlays is straightforward to do using Canvas, and those could even be moving and animated symbols using the MapStructure framework</nowiki> | |||
