Developer Reference V3.0 Release Notes
Version 3.0.0.4 of ENCX is the first release to support S-52 Presentation Library edition 4.0.1.
This new edition of the presentation library has a number of changes to how various features are drawn. Perhaps the most notable is the symbolisation of lights where 360 degree lights with a range of 10 nM or more are drawn with much more prominence.
Edition 4.0.1
Edition 3.4
Other changes in this release
Note : Windows XP is no longer supported from this release onwards.
World Vector Shoreline data can now be loaded and drawn from a SENC separate to the ENC SENC without creating new S57Manager and S57Draw instances.
To achieve this you can call OpenSencAndWVS rather than OpenSenc and pass in a path to the folder containing a WVS SENC as well as the path to your ENC SENC.
Alternatively, if you use OpenSenc2, you will find that the S57ManagerInitialisationData object now has a WVSPath property.
New S57 Settings
- DeclutterOverlappingCells - new for S-52 Presentation Library edition 4.0.1, when set to true this will only draw features from one cell where there are multiple cells in the same area, with the same navigational purpose.
- ShowOverlappingCellAreas - when this and DeclutterOverlappingCells are both set to true, any cell overlap areas are highlighted.
- HighlightDateDependent - when set to true draws the new presentation library symbol CHDATD01 with date-dependent features.
- DateMode - set to S57DateMode_UseSystemDate, S57DateMode_UseSetDate or S57DateMode_IgnoreDates to determine if date-dependent features are drawn.
Samples
- Encx.Wpf - to complement the S57Control we've added a RasControl that you can use in your WPF projects. See Encx.Wpf.RasExample for sample usage.
- InstallLooseCells - long available as a separate download, this is finally included with the other samples on installation.
- RasPanelOutlinesOnEnc - a C# sample that demonstrates drawing raster panel outlines on top of ENC.
