Overplot of flight region borders

[Jens-Uwe Grooß]

Typically, some regions on the map are inaccessible due to various reasons (missing flight permits, military restricted area, ...) The borders of these areas could be provided by a set of lat/lon routes through an input file of the UI and may be over-plotted for better orientation. Format of the input file for that should be simple to edit, potentially there are already standard file types for that.

there are two options.

a) we add something very simple that we can incorporate into the JSON file to be activated in the options dialogue b) We add another control widget for this purpose.

I propose following option b.

To come up with a good data format, it would be good to know, what kind of things are desired. Probably we want to have a set of polygonal shapes to be excluded?

That could be realised as list of list of lon/lat tuples specifying polygonal areas.

There is now a docking widget for plotting KML files on top of the TopView implemented in ChangeSet 93e026b It is not well tested and thus not activated. This basically adresses this issue.

More KML features implemented in Changeset 6068b57. I propose to close this issue as the flightborders and other stuff may be overlayed with the current state. In addition we can add a new feature for a further milestone for further KML feature support.

this issue is more generic solved. We can for example overlay kml from googles map engine. There can be much more done by kml and we want new issues for ideas.

implemented

Update to KML overlay. Better UI, error message box, and ability to toggle the visibility.

Resolve issue #61.
