map::track::map-display(3tk)
π map::track::map-display β bestie edition π
okay so real talk, this page is map::track::map-display(3tk) from the Map display support manual, and it's genuinely one of the cuter little packages in tklib. let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
map::track::map-display β Map Action Engine, aka the Layer to display track definitions. it's giving layer. it's giving tracks. it's giving display. periodt π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
first things first, you gotta pull in your packages, no cap:
package require Tcl 8.6-
package require Tk 8.6-
package require canvas::edit::polyline
package require debug
package require debug::caller
package require map::slippy 0.8
package require snit
package require map::track::map-display ?0.1?
note the?0.1?on that last one β that's a version requirement, and the-on8.6-means that version or newer. iconic behaviour honestly β
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
so what does this thing even do?? this package provides a map::display attachment that extends the map's behaviour. it's an attachment bestie, it snaps onto your map and upgrades it π§
and what does that attachment show? a whole set of geo/track definitions. yes ma'am πΈ
but here's the part that actually ate: it makes sure that only the visible tracks use canvas resources (items). like, the map is not out here wasting canvas items on tracks you can't even see. that's resource management. that's main character energy. that's efficiency and we're obsessed ππ
β¨ API β¨
this section exists in the original and it is empty. nothing to see here bestie, moving on π (we're keeping it real and keeping it honest β no inventing stuff that isn't there!)
β¨ EXAMPLE β¨
also empty in the original. the void said "no examples today" and honestly? respect. π
β¨ BUGS, IDEAS, FEEDBACK β¨
okay so, full transparency: this document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain bugs and other problems. not me being dramatic β that's literally what it says, fr fr. it's software, it happens, we don't shame π
so if you find something? please report it in the category map of the Tklib Trackers:
http://core.tcl.tk/tklib/reportlist
and listen β if you've got ideas for enhancements for either the package and/or the documentation, those are wanted too. like genuinely, come through, the door is open π«Άβ¨
