Lat/Long Grid?
« on: 12-Jan-2009, 10:08:10 »
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the useful programme. Since you use Lat/Long to plot information, would it be possible to have a selectable Lat/Long grid overlay? This would help to confirm relevant locations when double checking the AIS listings. It would also be useful to confirm those awkward area or routing plots.
T.I.A.
Bob

A very good idea. I'll put that in when I have some free time (bit busy at the moment on other things).

Edit: Just realised who you are, seeing your email address  :)  Guess that means "I will make some free time"  ;D

I had a lightbulb moment - I was sure I remembered something already in the code to do just this. Here it is:
Code: [Select]
// Plot Lat/Long graticule
void CPlotView::PlotGraticule(CDC* pDC)
{
}

// Plot graticule text
void CPlotView::PlotGraticuleText(CDC* pDC)
{
}
So you see, I had started to put this in ages ago, but didn't get round to completing it... :)
