Qimera 2.5.0 - Improvements

On this page:

Add context menu to zoom to extents of surfaces and other scene objects.

Right-click on a layer item now has the option to zoom to the extents of that object. There is also a hotkey for this, where if you select the object and hit the "z" key, it will zoom to the extents. This addresses the feedback case FQM-389.

Swath Editor

The swath editor was thoroughly gone over to fix any inconsistencies and to also see if there were areas for improvement. The swath editor was also updated to prepare for a future application wide improvements. Some general improvements:

• in the scene
  • Left click - updates the current ping and only updates the buffer if the click is outside the current buffer
  • Ctrl + Left click - updates the current ping and recenters the buffer on the ping
• in the Water Column side view
  • Left click - updates the current ping and does not update the buffer
  • Ctrl + Left click - updates the current ping and recenters the buffer on the ping
• in swath editor Above and Side plot while using the "explore" tool mode
  • Left click - no effect, because the current ping is updated by the cursor position already
  • Ctrl + Left click - recenters the buffer on the ping (note that the current ping will continue to update based on cursor position)
• depth synchronization between the Behind and Side (or Across and Along) plots, and added Ctrl + Scroll for vertical exaggeration in the Side plot.

Slice Editor

The slice editor was thoroughly gone over to fix any inconsistencies and to also see if there were areas for improvement. The slice editor was also updated to prepare for a future application wide improvements. As mentioned already there is a significant speed improvement for loading points in the slice editor. Percentage of slice overlap and an option to lock the vertical exaggeration have also been added to this release.
