New featureLuciadCPillar

You can now visualize OGC 3D Tiles 1.1. Supported functionality:
  • Implicit tiling (both JSON and binary subtrees, no metadata yet).
  • GLB/glTF (using internal, Base64 inlined or external buffers) as payload.
  • Supported glTF 2.0 extensions:
    • KHR_texture_transform
    • KHR_mesh_quantization
    • EXT_meshopt_compression
    • EXT_mesh_features

New featureLuciadCPillar

LuciadCPillar now provides support for decoding and visualizing MBTiles files and web services containing image and vector tiles. An MBTiles file can be decoded by passing the file path to the decoder. To decode an MBTiles web service, you need to provide the TileJSON endpoint as a source. For more details, see:

You can now export an existing feature model to an existing GeoPackage file or a new GeoPackage file. You can also add a new, empty feature data table to a new or existing GeoPackage file. Please refer to the GeoPackage encoding article for more details.

New featureLuciadCPillar

LuciadCPillar now contains complete C# API documentation. The documentation no longer refers to the C++ API; all code and code snippets in the documentation are now available in C#.

New featureLuciadCPillar

Raster layers can now be divided into the following two types, based on the expected interaction between the application user and the layer: You can set the RasterLayerTypeRasterLayerTypeRasterLayerType through the RasterLayer::BuilderRasterLayer::BuilderRasterLayer::Builder class. The default raster layer type is RasterLayerType::BackgroundRasterLayerType::BackgroundRasterLayerType::Background. For more information, please read the RasterLayerTypeRasterLayerTypeRasterLayerType API documentation and the Interacting with raster layers article.

New featureLuciadCPillar

The Attribution API has been added. This update enables attribution data to be provided to tiled models using an IMultilevelTiledAttributionProviderIMultilevelTiledAttributionProviderIMultilevelTiledAttributionProvider. Additionally, all attributions on a map can now be retrieved via its MapAttributionsMapAttributionsMapAttributions. This feature is demonstrated for HERE Maps and MBTiles in the 'Dataformats' sample. For more information, please refer to the attribution article.

Added support for the following GLTF extensions:
  • KHR_texture_transform
  • KHR_mesh_quantization
  • EXT_meshopt_compression
You can now load GLTF data as 3D icons or in 3D tiles datasets that use these extensions.

LCP-713
An overloaded Map::HeightProvider::retrieveHeightAtMap::HeightProvider::retrieveHeightAtMap::HeightProvider::retrieveHeightAt method has been added. It is now possible to query the map for elevation values at a provided point on the map and at provided pixel density. For more information, please read the Map::HeightProvider::retrieveHeightAtMap::HeightProvider::retrieveHeightAtMap::HeightProvider::retrieveHeightAt API documentation and the updated How to get height data from the map article.
