[Kstars-devel] Clipping artwork on the border of skymap

[M.S. Adityan]

Hi,

I have completed Western and Inuit sky culture artwork in KStars. The
artwork is currently displaying completely on the border of the sky map. I
want to make it clip such that it displays only the portion of the artwork
which is "on" the sky map and not the one that goes out of the sphere. How
can this be achieved? To see how KStars looks currently please see this
<http://www.msadityan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/kstars.png>.

Also another issue was regarding pixelation of the artwork at high zoom
levels. To solve this, I scaled every constellation image to 1024x1024
pixels using Qt::SmoothTransformation. Is this a right way to solve the
problem? (please refer to the latest git commit on
gsoc2015-constellationart branch for this)
