According to the GeoJSON specification, the first and last position of a GeoJSON polygon must be equivalent. The GeoJsonCodec now removes this duplicate point when decoding the GeoJSON polygon to a LuciadRIA geometry. Before this fix the start and the end point would be present twice in a LuciadRIA geometry, which could yield unexpected behavior when editing a polygon.

Support for sparse WMTS raster layers, i.e., WMTS raster layers with a tile-set structure characterized by missing tiles along the tile pyramid, has been improved. LuciadRIA now allows tiles of higher zoom levels to be displayed even if parent tiles of lower zoom levels are unavailable.

Fixed an issue where creating a WMSTileSetModel or WMSImageModel using createFromURL() or createFromCapabilities() would create a model with a CRS:84 model even if the server's capabilities did not support that coordinate reference. The factory methods will now attempt to create a model with a supported coordinate reference.

ImprovementDefense Symbology

RIA-4519
Added a utility method to MilitarySymbologyPainter to get the actual bounds of a military symbol, that can then be used for fitting on that symbol. Note that regular fitting on the shape of a military symbol will not always give you the desired result. The reason for this is that the symbol shape mostly only contains the anchor points for the symbol, which are then used to calculate a very different final shape to be drawn.

Bug fixLuciadRIA

RIA-4551
Fixed a label flickering issue that occurred when individual features are frequently updated. The order of drawing labels with the same LabelStyle.priority is now deterministic, which improves label stability when updating positions of individual features. Before the fix, small position changes of a feature resulted in showing different labels in the vicinity of the modified feature.

New featureLuciadRIA

HSPC Pack files are now supported on HSPCTilesModel and TileSet3DLayer.

New featureLuciadRIA

3D Cartesian references, for example the "LUCIAD:XYZ" reference or those created with ReferenceProvider.createCartesianReference, can now be used as the world reference on a WebGLMap. This allows you to visualize non-georeferenced data on a 3D WebGLMap.

A non-georeferenced point cloud visualized in its local, Cartesian 3D reference

The use of a WebGLMap with a 3D Cartesian reference is demonstrated in the 3D icon sample, which now displays a separate panel when you select an icon. The panel uses a 3D Cartesian world reference.

A WebGLMap with a 3D Cartesian reference has certain limitations and conventions to take into account. For more information, please see the article on Cartesian views.

New featureLuciadRIA

The common package of the LuciadRIA samples has been split into multiple packages. If you depended on the @luciad/ria-sample-common package (which we don't recommend since we don't guarantee backwards-compatibility for our samples), you will need to change your imports.

New featureLuciadRIA

LuciadRIA now supports Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, a globe-covering mesh textured with high-resolution imagery. Support for this dataset has been added in the Data Formats and in the Geolocate OGC 3D tiles sample. All information to get you started is bundled in Google 3D Tiles. Note that the Google Map Tiles API may provide tiles at a lower resolution than what you can experience on Google products (like Google Earth).

New featureLuciadRIA

You can now wrap 2D cylindrical maps around the date line.
A map with date line wrapping enabled

New featureLuciadRIA

You can now set an outline style and an occlusion style on just those objects of an OGC 3D Tiles set that are currently selected. See TileSet3DLayer.selectedOcclusionStyle and TileSet3DLayer.selectedOutlineStyle. For an example of how to use these new styles, see Using occlusion and outline styles for selected features.

New featureLuciadRIA

LuciadRIA now offers fog effects on 3D WebGL maps. See map.effects.fog and FogEffect for more details. See also the article Configuring WebGL Map effects.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

You can now set the property facetCulling on a Icon3DStyle. The facetCulling property defines the polygons that are not visible to the camera and will be discarded.

The precision of WKT references that use an ellipsoidal version of the Lambert azimuthal equal area projection has been improved. This affects the following EPSG codes:

  • 3035
  • 3571 to 3576
  • 5633, 5635, 5636, 5638
  • 6931, 6932
  • 9039
  • 9947

ImprovementLuciadRIA

You can now use BASED_ON_DATA as a new FacetCullingType when you are styling mesh data for a TileSet3DLayer. You can use it if you are unsure about the face culling type or if you are using a 3D Tiles set that uses GLTF version 2, or if you are mixing double-sided and non-double-sided material.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

RIA-4487
LayerTreeNode now emits events named "VisibilityInTreeChanged". The callback on this event hook gets called when the visibleInTree of the layer tree node changes. This allows you to react on a layer becoming visible or invisible on a LuciadRIA map.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

RIA-4477
GeoJsonCodec now fully supports features with the null geometry, both when decoding and encoding.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

Added new cartesian reference with identifier "LUCIAD:XY", that represents a 2D non-geo cartesian reference, with its axes defined in meters. You can use this reference both as a model reference and a map reference, making it easy to display 2D diagrams such as CAD drawings.

The clustering transformer now accepts an anchor point with a non-0 Z-coordinate that is returned from a custom implementation of ClusterShapeProvider. Before, in such a situation, 3D points were always reduced to 2D points. Please note that the default cluster shape provider still returns anchor points with the Z-coordinate equals to 0.

LuciadRIA now depends on the myVRArchive library to support Hexagon Smart Point Cloud (HSPC) Pack files. This new dependency requires no code changes.

WebGLMap.globeColor has new behaviour.

The globeColor can now be set to null to avoid painting a globe entirely. This also disables 2D vector and raster painting. Only data that does not need to be draped will be rendered on the map.

On top of that, you can now set the alpha value of your globeColor to 0, which will render a fully transparent globe in the absence of raster layers. The fully transparent globe still allows you to drape 2D shapes and images on top of it.

Setting a globeColor with an alpha values between 0 (exclusive) and 1 (inclusive) will render the globe with a fully opaque color.

Upgrade considerationLuciadRIA

RIA-3811
Icon3DStyle: The axis system for rendering 3D icons has been changed. The Y-axis now points to the north, the X-axis to the east and the Z-axis upwards.

When loading glTF files they are now also automatically converted from their Y-up axis system to the LuciadRIA axis system, as a result you will in most cases no longer need to apply rotations to have your model oriented correctly.

For compatibility reasons Icon3DStyle.legacyAxis was added. Setting this property to true restores the behavior as it was. In the LuciadRIA 2023.1 release this property defaults to true, so you do not need to update existing code. From LuciadRIA 2024.0 onwards the default will be set to false, it is recommended to already adapt your code for the changes in the axis system.

Upgrade considerationLuciadRIA

LuciadRIA now uses libtiff version 4.5.1.

Upgrade considerationLuciadRIA

The default orientation of 3D icons on maps with a cartesian world reference has been changed. Previously, by default, the X-axis of the 3D icon was aligned with the X-axis of the world reference. Now, the forward axis of the 3D icon is aligned with the Y-axis of the world reference. Additionally, the heading property of the orientation property of Icon3DStyle now operates clockwise instead of counter-clockwise. These changes were made to improve consistency with other functionality where the Y-axis of the cartesian reference serves as the north direction (e.g. LookAt, IconStyle.heading, etc.).

GeoJsonCodec.decodeGeometry and GeoJsonCodec.decodeGeometryObject can now return null. This is a consequence of the enhancement to support features with the null geometry by GeoJsonCodec.

The way texture wrapping (repeat, mirror repeat or clamp) for glTF is handled, has been changed to properly follow the glTF 2.0 specification. This means that now the default behavior for textures inside glTF 2.0 is "repeat", but we no longer force "repeat" when "clamp" is specified inside the sampler.
