mapjfx display problems update

Posted on 19. April 2020 by P.J.

For the last two years a problem was coming up occasionally with some users, that only the top left area of the map is displayed, and the rest is not loading:

Thanks to the analysis of Martin Stiel in this comment and Victor Ewert in issue 81 it seems that this can be traced to a problem when running the application on a high resolution display.

Alas I cannot reproduce this as I have no hardware with a resolution that might be high enough. So if you have this problem you might try the solution that Victor mentions in the issue linked above: start the application with -Dprism.allowhidpi=false.

So currently I cannot support this as for em this problem is not reproducible, But I’d be glad for feedback or any new information.

mapjfx 1.32.0 and 2.14.0 adds the ability to rotate markers and labels

Posted on 6. April 2020 by P.J.

I just released mapjfx versions 1.32.0 and 2.14.0, they will be available in maven central:

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.sothawo</groupId>
    <artifactId>mapjfx</artifactId>
    <version>1.32.0</version>
  </dependency>

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.sothawo</groupId>
    <artifactId>mapjfx</artifactId>
    <version>2.14.0</version>
  </dependency>

1.32.0 is built using Java 8 and 2.14.0 uses Java 11.

Markers and Labels on a map now have a rotation property which will rotate the corresponding HTML Element. The values goes from 0 to 360 and defines the rotating angle clockwise.
