The movement direction and speed modifiers configuration has been changed for a number of symbols hierarchies to make them more consistent with the other hierarchies. The movementDirection modifier was added to the following symbol hierarchies:
  • MIL-STD-2525D: 01 - Air
  • MIL-STD-2525D: 02 - Air Missile
  • MIL-STD-2525D: 05 - Space
  • MIL-STD-2525D: 06 - Space Missile
  • MIL-STD-2525D: 30 - Sea Surface
  • MIL-STD-2525D: 35 - Sea Subsurface
  • APP-6C: 01 - Air
  • APP-6C: 02 - Air Missile
  • APP-6C: 05 - Space
  • APP-6C: 06 - Space Missile
  • APP-6C: 30 - Sea Surface
  • APP-6C: 35 - Sea Subsurface
The speedLabel modifier was added to the following symbol hierarchies:
  • MIL-STD-2525D: 35 - Sea Subsurface
  • APP-6C: 01 - Air
  • APP-6C: 02 - Air Missile

The MilitarySymbologyPainter exposes some new style properties that can be used to affect the way icons are visualised:
  • MilSymStyle.symbolIcon defaults to true.
  • MilSymStyle.symbolFrameEnabled defaults to true.
  • MilSymStyle.symbolFill defaults to true.
  • MilSymStyle.symbolFillPercentage defaults to 1,0.
  • MilSymStyle.affiliationColorEnabled defaults to true.
. The effect of changing these style properties can be seen in the image below.

SEPainterFactory: the painter did not always respect the order of drawing as defined in a Symbology Encoding file on a WebGLMap.

LayerGroup now checks for unique layer tree node IDs in canAddChild and throws an error when children with overlapping IDs are added with addChild. This was previously not enforced but could lead to unexpected problems.

Fixed an issue where LoadEverything strategy rejects loading data on changing map scale levels. This situation can happen when the load everything strategy uses QueryProvider that defines multiple query level configurations, of which one returns the null query object. This query object means that the model should be queried for all data.

FeaturePainter: the type of the density property was wrong. To configure the density you need to set an object literal with a ColorMap, this is now reflected in the TypeScript typing correctly.

New featureLuciadRIA

It is now possible to connect to HERE Maps and use its data in your LuciadRIA application. A new class @luciad/ria/model/tileset/HereMapsTileSetModel allows to create a model for the desired HERE data, which can then be added to a LuciadRIA map using a RasterTileSetLayer. Different HERE maps showing aerial imagery, roads and traffic data.

New featureLuciadRIA

Introduced an environment map effect on GraphicsEffects. This allows you to visualize an environment map to improve the realism of your scenes.

New featureLuciadRIA

Introduced the PBRSettings property on Icon3DStyle and MeshStyle. This allows the use of the PBR material information in glTF files to visualize objects in a more realistic, physically based way.

New featureLuciadRIA

The LuciadRIA Symbology Encoding implementation now also supports world-sized TextSymbolizers as specified in the OpenGIS Symbology Encoding specification version 1.1.0 (OGC 05-077r4). These TextSymbolizers have a uom in meters or feet. The use of a world-sized TextSymbolizer is illustrated in the Symbology Encoding sample for large cities and roads.

LuciadRIA's HSPC (Hexagon Smart Point Cloud) support was updated to version 22, produced by mHSPCConverter version 2021.10. See HSPCTilesModel for details.

The LuciadRIA samples have been updated to use React for the UI components. An explanation of the new structure of the sample code can be found in the Editing, building and running the sample code how-to article. Note that LuciadRIA does not require the use of React; it can be combined with any UI library that you prefer to use in your application.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

The glTF format support in Icon3DStyle has been extended:
  • it can now handle glTF files with multiple textures; previously, only the first encountered texture was used for visualization,
  • the texture wrapping is now also parsed and used for visualization.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

Added createTranslationTransformation and createRotationTransformation to Affine3DTransformation to have additional building blocks to position and orient a non-referenced dataset.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

Added createTopocentricReference to ReferenceProvider for creating topocentric references, which are local, georeferenced, cartesian coordinate references. Topocentric references are supported by the TransformationFactory as well, allowing conversions between topocentric and any other spatial references.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

WebGLMap now emits events named "PostRender". The callback on this event hook gets called every frame, after the LuciadRIA layers have been rendered, and gets the WebGL rendering context as a parameter. This allows you to add externally rendered graphics to a LuciadRIA map.

It is now possible to create an oriented box with ShapeFactory.createOrientedBox.

Symbology Encoding: Added an IconProvider to the SEPainterFactory factory methods. This IconProvider allows mapping ExternalGraphics elements onto icon images or URL's.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

Symbology Encoding: Added support for the vendor option named "conflictResolution". Setting this option to 'false' in a TextSymbolizer will disable decluttering for those labels. The default value for this vendor option can be adjusted in the SEPainterCreateOptions.

ImprovementLuciadRIA

Symbology Encoding: For TextSymbolizers which explicitly declare a PointPlacement, LuciadRIA will now apply this placement strictly, meaning that it will no longer move the label around when it would otherwise fall outside of the view. Additionally, the rotation tag in this PointPlacement is now supported as well.

Fixed an issue in Symbology Encoding regarding the Graphic element. If a size is specified, the height of the graphic will be scaled to that size and the corresponding aspect ratio will be used to determine the width.
