osmfire's Issues

create dialogs dynamically on button click instead of on page load

Currently, the addWmsLayer, addWfsLayer, addVectorLayer, and addNewLayer dialogs are created on page load. Instead, we should create each dialog only when the appropriate button is clicked for the first time and store the dialog into cache for use in subsequent clicks.

Fortunately, all the code to create these dialogs is contained in layertree.js.

Loading features at low zoom level is slow.

At low zoom levels geoserver tries to display lots of features. This bogs down the server. Instead, filter which features get displayed based on their apparent size. For example, when zoomed way out, buildings just look like dots; no need to load these. Write a test to compare the feature area (F) to the corresponding pixel area (P) at that zoom level. For linestrings, compare feature length to pixel width. Maybe something like:

feature_list = []
var threshold = pixelAreaAtZoomLevel * s
for (var i = 0; i < featureCandidates.length; i++) {
    if (featureCandidates[i].area > threshold) {
        feature_list.append(feature)
    }
}

We'll need to play around to find a reasonable value for "s"
This should only be done for polygons and linestrings. If rendering massive amounts of points ever becomes an issue, we can deal with that later.

Add a favicon

modify the layer switcher with responsive background maps

Similar to how OpenStreetMap does their base layers.
possibly using ol.control.OverviewMap

loading and rendering WFS features is slooooow.

Unable to select WFS features.

undefined fillOpacity.

Add control button to merge multiple layers into a single layer

For example: [building layer, herbage layer, generic layer] --> tobject layer

Create wrapper script to switch between development and production builds.

dev -> http
prod -> https
Use gulp or grunt for this.

Convert addwms form to JS DOM.

change message bar to a coordinates list widget.

something like.

proj, lon, lat
4326, -86.21154, 34.4560
3857, -9650965.50434266, 4125521.30132196
tile, 4752, 6251, 14

Use mouse projection dropdown to add a new row.
Need a cancel button next to each one.

Add a SpyGlass

Add a spyglass that shows a different layer than the active layer.

Don't save feature to selected layer on drawend

Rather save it after deselect.

Add closed loop walls.

Add cell phone tower locations to database

See app/data/ folder.

LayerInteractor.prototype.formatLength breaks for MultiLineString.

Fix measuring multipolygon areas with geodesics measures.

Add measure units dropdown to featureEditor

Menu is added. Just need to bind some functionality. English, Metric, etc.

Layer style reverts to default style when dragging map.

For example osm.buildings will always switch back to default "osm_id" when panning around on the map.

Add LayerTree control button to save selected layer.

GeoJSON, shapefile, etc.

Changing feature type does not reset feature color.

Allow feature style to update immediately when feature type changes.

DefaultFeatureProperties need to account for unknown keys.

Add control button to save a layer to a file

i.e. shapefile, geojson, etc.

Force auto-select layer after new layer is added.

Make polygonal boundary styles use pinstripe fill texture.

Add translate functionality to features.

Add a div to control the style of the layer interactor.

Need a way to control the text value of the hover display.

Create pop-up to save/cancel/exit on page refresh.

Something similar to the way regex101 does it.

Add custom tooltips

The default tooltips look ugly. Use jquery-ui to make tooltips look better.

Make the range sliders nonlinear

see cameraeditor.js

Add a transparency slider for tile layers.

Set stroke width to match thickness of roads and walls.

scrollTo(0, 0) raises error in layertree

Add control button to split layers in to smaller sublayers

For example: tobject layer --> [building layer, herbage layer, generic layer]

can't filter file type based on geom type in addvectorlayer

Choosing a shapefile (for example) doesn't filter out other file types when you go to load in a new file.

Convert addwfs form to JS DOM.

Each layer should have its own layer interactor.

Delete hole button doesn't deactivate on failed hole draw.

Draw a fresh polygon feature.
draw an invalid hole.
Delete button should not be clickable.

Add ability to read shapefiles (unzipped)

WFS features won't display for lon < -180 and lon > 180

Add a range fan overlay to sensor objects

Possibly create a new Sensor openlayers object that is a subclass of ol.feature.

auto-fill wms/wfs display name

Add a helper function to autofill the display name when layer name is selected for wms/wfs

Create user accounts

Need a way to create user accounts so they can save their work to the database. In addition, create a guest account where anybody can just play around.

need a way to copy coordinates from screen

If I move the mouse over a certain location on the map, I can see the coordinates in the messagebar below the map. Would be nice If I could copy the coords of my mouse cursor to some other application. Maybe add a toggle button "freeze coords" or "coord snapshot".

Cursor units don't auto update on menu change

mouse coordinates don't auto update when choosing a different projection. You have to zoom in (or out) to force the refresh.

Convert newvector form to JS DOM.

Add "Go To Position" function

Need a function that takes a lat, lon and auto pans the map to that location.

mapquest server doesn't return tiles.

remove mapquest from layerswitcher

The drawHole and deleteHole buttons are broken.

Probably a CSS thing.

Allow copying features from one vector layer to another.

draw buffer doesn't clear on layer change.

auto selected draw feature gets copied to wrong layer if switching layers before committing the geometry.
