Data

• Modifications in the senc geodatabase reader related to the “lazy” loading of information sections. Now, to get information from a dataset, e.g. dataset properties or dataset coverage, you can load the dataset without any performance or memory consumption penalties.

Geometry

• Geodesic calculations are now implemented in the IGeodesicCalculations interface.

Visualization

• New parameters are added for the ISceneManager::AddDataSource method: Previous declaration: SceneManager::AddDataSource(wks, &view) Current declaration: SceneManager::AddDataSource(wks, type_of_data, flags, &view, &view_id) The new parameters are:
  type_of_data
  only default value is supported by now "kDataSourceView_TypeName_Navigational," adds data from wks to the chart layers
  flags
  one value "ReplaceView", unloads existing views of an added workspace
• Instead of the ISceneManager::SetProjectionParameters method, use the ISceneManager::GetSceneParameters and ISceneManager::SetSceneParameters methods. The methods allow setting latitude, longitude and scale for the scene.
• Instead of the ISceneManager::WinToScene and ISceneManager::SceneToWin methods, use the ISceneManager::CoordinateTransform method. The method provides the following transformations: WinToScene, SceneToWin, WinToGeo, GeoToWin, ViewportToGeo, and GeoToViewport
• New SceneManager properties are added:
  kSceneManagerPropertyID_MinScale
  Minimum possible scale. Default 10.
  kSceneManagerPropertyID_MaxScale
  Maximum possible scale. Default 10^8.
  kSceneManagerPropertyID_SceneWidth
  Width of the scene in pixels.
  kSceneManagerPropertyID_SceneHeight
  Height of the scene in pixels.
• Instead of the ISceneManager::Render and the ISceneManager::Display methods, use the ISceneManager::UpdateScene method. It can have the following flags:
  • kUpdateSceneFlags_RenderingAndDisplay to render and display the scene
  • kUpdateSceneFlags_Display to only display the scene
  • kUpdateSceneFlags_WaitRendering to stop the main thread till all is rendered
  NB: The way of controlling the scene when rendering to window has changed (see samples):
  1. Change the viewport and call the UpdateScene method with the kUpdateSceneFlags_Display flag for fast picture moving.
  2. Then call the UpdateScene method with the kUpdateSceneFlags_RenderAndDisplay flag to apply viewport changes to the projection (the viewport is reset automatically).
• The kPP_DisplayMode portrayal parameter is replaced with two properties in the IDisplayGroupsManager interface:
  • sdk::vis::kDisplayGroupsManagerProperty_DisplayMode with possible values: Base- | Base | Base+ | Standard | Standard+ | Other
  • sdk::vis::kDisplayGroupsManagerProperty_DisplayMode_Short with possible values: Base | Standard | Other
• A new concept is introduced: "Portrayal Layer" – a group of data portrayed together. New methods were added to the IPortrayalManager interface and a new interface implemented:
  • IPortrayalManager::CreatePortrayalLayer
  • IPortrayalManager::GetPortrayalLayer
  • IPortrayalManager::RemovePortrayalLayer
  • IPortrayalLayer interface
• A new method added to the IPortrayalManager interface: IPortrayalManager::EnumPossiblePortrayals – indicates which portrayals are available for a specified PRSP.
• Methods renamed:
  • IPortrayalManager::SetPortrayal renamed to IPortrayalManager::SetCurrentPortrayal
  • IPortrayalManager::GetPortrayal renamed to IPortrayalManager::GetCurrentPortrayal
  • IPortrayalManager::SetCurrentPortrayal renamed to IPortrayalManager::SetCurrentPortrayalVersion
  • IPortrayalManager::GetPortrayalInfo renamed to IPortrayalManager::GetPortrayalInfoFromPath
  • ISceneLayersManager::FindLayer(scene::LayerID) renamed to ISceneLayersManager::FindLayerByID
  • ISceneLayersManager::FindLayer(SDKString) renamed to ISceneLayersManager::FindLayerByName
• Methods moved:
• ISceneControl::GetSceneLayersManager moved to the ISceneManager interface and is now called ISceneManager::GetSceneLayersManager
• ISceneManager::GetPortrayalParameter moved to the IPortrayalManager interface and is now called IPortrayalManager::GetPortrayalParameter
• ISceneManager::SetPortrayalParameter moved to the IPortrayalManager interface and is now called IPortrayalManager::SetPortrayalParameter
• Behavior of the AddLayer method has changed: now you need to create a layer first and then add it to the layers list: Instead of the ISceneLayersManager::AddLayer method use the ISceneLayersManager::CreateLayer and ISceneLayersManager::AddLayer methods. In the AddLayer method you can now specify a parent layer, it this case a 'Logic layer' will be created and drawn to the parent texture.
• The viewing group "21030" has been divided into two groups:
  1. "21030" – Chart scale boundary
  2. "21040" – Over scale data (OVERSCO1)
