<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hello marble dev team,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>i like to ask you some questions about
marblewidget.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This week i compiled current marblewidget code and
after</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>starting my app i faced new behavior regarding the
hillshading task.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If i now switch on hillshading layer, the hillshade
is not displayed</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>as fast as it was before.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Also you can see a short time a grey map window,
looks like some flickering,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>tested with osm map.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>With my last version, switching on/off hillshading
was fast and smoothly,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>the changed behavior must be happend anytime
between 16.07. and today .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Maybe this problem is based on changed code in
StackedTileLoder.cpp, because</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>additional i faced following problem:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>using the osm map, switched on the hillshading
layer and zoomed the map to</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>zoomlevel 14 (osm zoom level) sometimes i see havy
cpu usage - without doing anythig</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>on the map/gui.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Debugging the code i see running an endless loop,
the StackedTileLoader::update()</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>methode was called again and again.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This happens because the needsUpdate member varable
is allway set to true - </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>even though i did no zoom/scroll ?!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>At last i like to ask you to give me a developement
hint:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>i would like to have a dimmer mode, this mode
should darken the map window.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I implemented code similar to sunshading , it works
but is not fast enough </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>to be able to change dimming value (with QSlider)
seamless ((see attached screenshot).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What would you suggest to do to have a dimmer
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>thanks for supporting, best regards,
konrad</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>p.s. congratulations to your valuable work -
marblewidget is a really fantastic lib !!</FONT></DIV>
