AW: Marble Qt KML gx:LatLonQuad Support

[tackat at t-online.de]

Hi,
 
apparently the implementation for this feature never got committed to 
master - although we had developed it at one point.
 
I'll check the archive and will commit it to phabricator or a branch within 
the next few hours.
 
Would you be willing to test the feature and give feedback once the patches 
are available? :-)
 
Thanks for pointing out this issue!
 
Best regards
Torsten

I would like to place an image on the map with anonrectangular 
quadrilateral.
Does Marble support the KML tag gx:LatLonQuad?
 

I see there are source files and API documentation defining the LatLonQuad 
class:
src\lib\marble\geodata\handlers\kml\*
src\lib\marble\geodata\data
https://api.kde.org/stable/kdeedu-apidocs/marble/html/classMarble_1_1GeoDataGroundOverlay.html
<https://api.kde.org/stable/kdeedu-apidocs/marble/html/classMarble_1_1GeoDataGroundOverlay.html>
https://api.kde.org/stable/kdeedu-apidocs/marble/html/classMarble_1_1GeoDataLatLonQuad.html
<https://api.kde.org/stable/kdeedu-apidocs/marble/html/classMarble_1_1GeoDataLatLonQuad.html>
 
However, I cannot seem to use it successfully
I built Marble (Qt version) on Windows 10 MSCV1900.
git clone -b Applications/19.08 https://github.com/KDE/marble.git
<https://github.com/KDE/marble.git> ./marble/Marble-Src
cd ./marble/Marble-Build/Release
cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 Win64" -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release 
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..\..\Marble-Bin\Release ..\..\Marble-Src

Loading a KML and PNG into the marble-qt.exe does not display any image.
KML used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2 <http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2>

19.011921,-33.916329 18.858793,-33.916149</coordinates></gx:LatLonQuad>
</GroundOverlay></Folder></kml>
 
KML reference: 
https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#gxlatlonquad
<https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#gxlatlonquad>
(Note, this KML works in Google Earth, so at least I know it is valid.)
 
 Likewise, using the C++ API produces no imagery:
...
   Marble::GeoDataCoordinates tl(18.858652, -34.043223, 0.0, 
Marble::GeoDataCoordinates::Degree);
   Marble::GeoDataCoordinates tr(19.011842, -34.043246, 0.0, 
Marble::GeoDataCoordinates::Degree);
   Marble::GeoDataCoordinates br(19.011921, -33.916329, 0.0, 
Marble::GeoDataCoordinates::Degree);
   Marble::GeoDataCoordinates bl(18.858793, -33.916149, 0.0, 
Marble::GeoDataCoordinates::Degree);

   Marble::GeoDataLatLonQuad quad;
   quad.setTopLeft(tl);
   quad.setTopRight(tr);
   quad.setBottomRight(br);
   quad.setBottomLeft(bl);

   Marble::GeoDataGroundOverlay *overlay = new 
Marble::GeoDataGroundOverlay;
   overlay->setLatLonQuad(quad);
   overlay->setIcon(QImage("slope.png"));

   Marble::GeoDataDocument *document = new Marble::GeoDataDocument;
   document->append(overlay);
   mapWidget->model()->treeModel()->addDocument(document);
...
 
Has it been deprecated or left out of master?
Does it matter if I build the KDE or Qt version?
Am I missing an optional package?
>From my cmake command:
-- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:
 * ZLIB, general-purpose lossless data-compression library, <
http://www.zlib.net/ <http://www.zlib.net/> >
   When found, system zlib is used. When not found, a Marble internal zlib 
is used.
 * Phonon4Qt5, Qt-based audio library, <https://phonon.kde.org/
<https://phonon.kde.org/> >
   Support for playback of soundcue elements
   Voice navigation (sound or human speakers)
 * libgps, communicating with the GPS daemon, <http://catb.org/gpsd/
<http://catb.org/gpsd/> >
   position information via gpsd
 * libwlocate, WLAN-based geolocation, <http://www.openwlanmap.org/
<http://www.openwlanmap.org/> >
   Position information based on neighboring WLAN networks
 * libshp, reading and writing of ESRI Shapefiles (.shp), <
http://shapelib.maptools.org/ <http://shapelib.maptools.org/> >
   reading and displaying .shp files
 * ECM (required version >= 1.7.0)
 
P.S. Also, I receive the following warning when using -DKF5=TRUE:
CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

    WITH_KF5
