Hello Menion. And really congrats for this amazing software!
I write here just to let you know that I am one of the person who appreciate
ozfx to locus.zip.
Offcourse
MAPC2MAPCNET is much more advanced, but there are some maps who still prefer the old java cutter.
MAPC2MAPCNET, infact recreate all the images, while imageCutter.jar not! Some graphocal images are well seen after the treatment of MAPC2MAPCNET, but the
lossless 100% zoom scale is completely missing.
All maps are subjet to rezooming. Ex:
Map scale is
2,53 metres/pixel : zoom level 15 is
3,51 metres/pixel
Map scale is
3,17 metres/pixel : zoom level 15 is
3,51 metres/pixel
Rescaling images are NEVER lossless. I am a grapher, so I work a lot on raster map before reach the best results. Is a pitty to loose a lot o quality and zoon forcing an image to reach the RMap/sqlite fixed zoom levels.
Is much better to work on adjusting the projectum zoom, instead rendering images to reach fixed projectum. 12,13,14,15,16 and so on.
My map with "
scale 3,17 metres/pixel : zoom level 15 is 3,51 metres/pixel"
is awful after MAPC2MAPCNET stripping, especially because is not a picture but a graphical png low bit color, high density sharp image.
imageCutter.jar is perfect for this, and the image is just super sharp and detailed on old tar format, but seems Locus doesn't support datum Roma1940. Isn't it?
I have a 9000x6000 png of just 4.2MB with datum Roma1940. (I can send you to let you know).
It would be nice to finally have a simple but powerful and up-to-date
imageCutter.jar for the graphical png images.
And yes, the
MAPC2MAPCNET is very very good for creating photographic high quality zoom levels (as and better than img2ozf do) but, also there, I really do not undertans why to force the souce image always! And why avoiding pure 100%.
It's a sqlite limit? So this could be the why a lot of users miss OZI format and Androzic, even if this software is good but not as complete as yours.
I know Locus is particulary made for on-line sources. But your software is really too god to not be able to work with custom raster personally georeferenced images at a real 100 of quality.
Finally just to let you know that I dont miss
ozfx3 file format (just miss a software to do tha same for sqlite at loslessy 100% zoom level). But a map lover as me need to find a way to have all his wonderful PNG, or GeoTIFF images viewed at full quality and dimension on your just amazing Locus.
