Hi All,<br><br>I'm glad to send you one more patch for 178232 this time including the following NEW functionality:<br>Rectangle selection with right-click drag will now not only list the stars within that rectangle but also lists the deep sky objects in the rectangle.<br>
a) galaxy<br>b) catalog star<br>c) open cluster<br>d) gaseous nebula<br>e) supernova remnant<br><br>P.S: I've attached the snapshots besides the patch for the same. Interestingly in a small rectangle I selected I could get as many as 210 objects and double clicking each centered it in the sky map. :P<br>
<br>Aside to Alexey:<br><br>
<div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">In its current form DetailDialog could not incorporate such functionality. It<br>
should be redesigned. In my opinion it should be redesigned anyway for two<br>
reasons:<br>
<br></blockquote><div>I agree it should be redesigned by having the frequently used information in one page and the rest in other tabs.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
1. To allow to choose from all objects in some radius.<br>
<br>
2. Two tabbed design isn't good. Magnitude is one tab coordinates are on<br>
another. Not good at all.<br>
<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote></div>However for multiple objects: I'd still suggest to have the list view itself, it's quite nice to list all the objects in tabular fashion (with all the details -- RA, Declination, Magnitude, Type of object etc in one single dialog). The reason why I'm saying this is it'll be useful for astronomers who actually want to focus on finding what all interesting could they find in a region of the sky. We can add one more column in the table which provides a link to more info or something which would then take to DetailDialog for each object. <br>
