Doing another viewer for a 200+ maps project, i discovered that combining overview and detail maps in the same view, rendered the system unusable with only a few layers. Naturally i did some optimizations on the layer drawing code. This resulted in a dramatical performance improvement when combining large overview maps with detail maps in [...]
Just a quick note: received a request to use Maptech on microscopic images. Threw together an adapted client. The original demo is no longer available. Please see the enhanced demo. A server-side script scans for directories holding zoomify images, sorts them lexically and adds then to the client in sort order. Zoomify’s ImageProperties.xml is extended [...]
As of today, Adobe has made available the 1.0 build of their AIR runtime. I felt urged to publish something too. Especially as i had promised to show what i was working on in the last months spare time and what most of this blog’s entries were all about. Here it is: G/O/grafx So what [...]
Recently i updated the mapTech demo to show 3 layers at once. Please be sure to adjust the 3 sliders at the bottom to set the upper 2 layers alpha value. Next step will be a drag & drop enabled kit to build customized layer sets of both static image/map and dynamic symbolic/charting data.
As you might have seen in the demo, i want to display 100+ charts on a map. Until today, i created a chart-object (along with dataProvider, Series, and stuff) for every view to be displayed. This rendered the application unresponsive for some seconds, showed no progress and consumed lots of memory. While reworking my display [...]
