Message: <blockquote data-quote="azhrei_fje" data-source="post: 2189499" data-attributes="member: 12966">My TMapper implementationHeh-heh, yeah, right.  The biggest issue is time!  I'm using this as an exercise to learn Qt, too -- I teach corporate computer classes; stuff like Linux Device Drivers and Advanced C++.So far, it will load the image, zoom it to a variety of levels and cache previous images so that the scaling process doesn't slow things down (with scrollbars and window resizing).  There's an overlay grid which is created by drawing a rectangle on the map, but which also has text fields to allow fine-tuning the width and height of the grid (I still need to add an origin setting).  I have square shapes that I can grab with the mouse and drag around on the screen.I need to add fog-of-war facilities for it to be usable at the game table.  I have plans to build into it a client-server mode and put an old 233MHz machine upstairs to run the projector.  I want to add colored (and possibly animated) shapes to represent objects on the map:  PCs, NPCs, monsters, etc.  One thing I like about TMapper is the area-of-effect shapes for circles and rectangles -- it really helps to visualize how much of an area is occupied by a silence spell, for example.  So that feature will find its way into my program as well.When I get a little more done on it, I'll apply for space at sourceforge.net and post the source code there -- it will all be available under the GPL, of course.</blockquote>
