New featureLuciadCPillar

LuciadCPillar for Android allows you to develop GPU accelerated geospatial situational awareness applications targeted to run on Android mobile devices. LuciadCPillar for Android is an SDK that supports both Kotlin and Java development. It is feature equivalent with LuciadCPillar for desktop.

To get started, consult the product documentation and select the Android profile at the top right of the page. The product documentation includes installation guides, a Java API reference and a set of ready-to-run kotlin samples that can be installed on your mobile device from Android studio.

New featureLuciadCPillar

You can now enable GPU texture compression on TileSet3DLayerTileSet3DLayerTileSet3DLayer for OGC 3D Tiles mesh data. This can greatly reduce the amount of GPU memory needed, improve performance and stability.

Enable when displaying meshes with large textures, such as reality capture reconstructions. By default, texture compression is enabled.
Disable when displaying meshes with lookup textures, such as CAD models.

If your environment does not support GPU texture compression, setting the flag has no effect.

LuciadCPillar now offers ambient occlusion and eye-dome lighting graphical effects on 3D maps. See GraphicsEffectsGraphicsEffectsGraphicsEffects, AmbientOcclusionEffectAmbientOcclusionEffectAmbientOcclusionEffect and EyeDomeLightingEffectEyeDomeLightingEffectEyeDomeLightingEffect for details. When enabled, they are applied on all the data on the map.

New featureLuciadCPillar

The GdalModelDecoderGdalModelDecoderGdalModelDecoder now supports decoding of 8 bit indexed color GeoTIFF data.

New featureLuciadCPillar

It is now possible to provide custom raster data and visualize it on the map. This can be accomplished using the new MultilevelTiledRasterModelBuilderMultilevelTiledRasterModelBuilderMultilevelTiledRasterModelBuilder and QuadTreeRasterModelBuilderQuadTreeRasterModelBuilderQuadTreeRasterModelBuilder classes. This for example allows you to implement your own raster format, or position a single image on the map. The article introduction to raster models provides more information on these classes.

You can indicate that your custom raster data may change. To enable this you need to call MultilevelTiledRasterModelBuilder::enableInvalidationMultilevelTiledRasterModelBuilder::enableInvalidationMultilevelTiledRasterModelBuilder::enableInvalidation or QuadTreeRasterModelBuilder::enableInvalidationQuadTreeRasterModelBuilder::enableInvalidationQuadTreeRasterModelBuilder::enableInvalidation. This results in the creation of an IRasterModelIRasterModelIRasterModel which returns true for the method IRasterModel::canInvalidateIRasterModel::canInvalidateIRasterModel::canInvalidate and on which you can call IRasterModel::invalidateIRasterModel::invalidateIRasterModel::invalidate. Invalidating the raster instructs LuciadCPillar to reload the data from the model and update the view accordingly.

The CPillar map now supports high DPI rendering. This means that fonts, icons and other map elements are automatically resized in proportion to the display scale configured in the operating system. This also means that map scale calculations use the configured DPI to get a correct interpretation.

When integrating the CPillar map in a UI framework the DPI and the display scale must be configured on the Map::RendererMap::RendererMap::Renderer. You can read more on this in the article on support for high DPI displays. The article on integration within Qt provides details on how this is done for the Qt UI toolkit.
