[Kstars-devel] About drawing on the sky map

[kstars at 30doradus.org]

Hi Alessio,

Sorry about being away from IRC; I've been enjoying the holidays and went
to 
NYC for the first time :)

KStars uses QPainter to draw the skymap, so anything QPainter can do, we
can 
do too.  See the function SkyMap::paintEvent() in skymapevents.cpp (it calls

a series of draw functions which can be found in skymapdraw.cpp).

I think satellite tracking would be a really great addition for KStars,
and 
predict looks like a good way to make it happen.  Let us know how it's going,

and if you need any help understanding the code or advice on how to proceed.

best of luck and happy new year,
Jason
