        This is namely a collection of UI updates to improve user interactivity.
        Tabbing between controls now exists and you can use ESC to close dialog
        boxes; ENTER will active the default button.

        * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__): Rearrange the
        order that the controls are created so that tabbing works correctly. 
        (ClassGenDialog.OnOK): Renamed from _OnGenerate() so that the 
        wxDialog can handle the default button correctly.
        (ClassGenDialog.OnCancel): Renamed from _OnCloseBtn() for the
        same reasons as for OnOK.
        (GenUniformPanel._OnRetrieve): Call wxBeginBusyCursor/wxEndBusyCursor
        when we ask the table for the maximum/minimum values of a field
        which could take a very long time.

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Rearrange the
        order that the controls are created so that tabbing works correctly.
        (SelectPropertiesDialog.__init__): Rearrange the order that the 
        controls are created so that tabbing works correctly.

        * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py: Copied NonModalDialog box and changed it
        to derive from a wxDialog but behave like the original implementation
        which was derived from a wxFrame. wxDialog provides useful key
        handling functionality like ESC calling OnCancel and ENTER calling
        OnOK which is lost with wxFrame.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Add "..." to menu items that will open
        new dialogs.

        * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__init__): Rearrange the
        order that the controls are created so that tabbing works correctly.
        (ProjFrame.OnApply): Renamed from _OnTry() to use wxDialog behaviour.
        (ProjFrame.OnOK): Renamed from _OnOK() to use wxDialog behaviour.
        (ProjFrame.OnCancel): Renamed from _OnClose() to use wxDialog behaviour.
        (ProjPanel.__init__): Add "Airy" to the list of ellipsoids so we
        can provide the "UK National Grid" as a default projection.
        (UTMPanel.__init__): Rearrange the order that the controls are 
        created so that tabbing works correctly.

2003-05-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp: Fix some of the comments.
        (project_point): If a map projection but no layer projection is
        given, convert degrees to radians before applying the map
        projection.

        * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableGrid.disallow_messages)
        (TableGrid.allow_messages): New methods to make it possible to
        inhibit message sending.
        (TableGrid.issue): Only send the message if not inhibited.
        (LayerTableGrid.select_shape): Use the new methods to make sure
        that no ROW_SELECTED message is sent while we're updating the
        selected rows to match the selected shapes.

2003-05-02  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>

        Implementation of MemoryTable.

        * Thuban/Model/table.py (MemoryTable): New. Quite simple table
        implementation that operates on a list of tuples. All of the data
        are kept in the memory.

        * test/test_table.py (MemoryTableTest): New.

        * test/test_transientdb.py (SimpleTable): Removed.
        (TestTransientTable.test_transient_joined_table,
        (TestTransientTable.test_transient_table_read_twice): Replaced
        SimpleTable by MemoryTable.

2003-04-30  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Data/iceland_sample.thuban: Now contains correct projections
        for each of the layers.

        * Resources/Projections/defaults.proj: Geographic projection
        contains unit conversion parameter.

2003-04-30  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        The most important part of this putback is the projection changes.
        It should now be possible to specify the projection that a layer
        is in and then specify a different projection for the map. The
        projection dialog has an extra parameter for a geographic projection
        which lets the user select if the input is in degrees or radians.

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.ShapesInRegion): Fix docstring
        to say that the parameter is a tuple of unprojected 
        points (which is what the callers to this method were assuming).
        Also, since the points are unprojected we need to projected them.

        * Thuban/UI/legend.py (LegendTree.MoveCurrentItemUp, 
        LegendTree.MoveCurrentItemDown): If the layer or any of the layer's
        groups are selected, move the layer up/down. Fixes RTbug #1833.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Move menu item map_rename up.

        * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnSave): Add missing 
        parameter in call to SetClientData.
        (GeoPanel): Add support for selecting the units that the
        source data is in (Radians or Degrees).

        * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Optimize
        the rendering loop by reducing the number of if's, removing the
        unnecessary try/except block, and checking if the old group
        is the same as the new one (which happens a lot if there is 
        no classification, or lots of shapes are in the same group).

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Add a try/except block
        around the redraw routine to try to catch problems that the user
        may create by selecting invalid projections for the data set and
        map. Clears the display if there are any problems and prints the
        error.
        (MapCanvas.do_redraw): Use DC.Clear() instead of drawing a filled
        rectangle.

        * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (project_point): First invert the
        supplied point (which should be in projected coordinates) using
        the layer's projection and then project the point using the
        map's projection.
        (project_points): Use project_point() to project each point.

2003-04-30  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetShapeStore): Fixed a bug:
        don't set the Classification to None if the classfication field
        is None (ie only a DEFAULT).

2003-04-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/view.py: Fix some typos.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): Do
        not pop up the dialog if the selection becomes empty (this could
        happen if e.g. a new selection is opened while the identify tool
        is active and dialog had been closed)

2003-04-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientTableBase.__init__): New
        instance variable read_record_last_result
        (TransientTableBase.read_record): Make sure reading the same
        record twice works. The implementation uses the new instance
        variable read_record_last_result

        * test/test_transientdb.py
        (TestTransientTable.test_transient_table_read_twice): New test
        case for the above bug-fix.

2003-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/common.py: Removed. No longer needed Str2Num. RTbug #1832.

        * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Remove all uses of Str2Num.

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Remove all uses of Str2Num.
        (ClassTable.SetValueAsCustom): Rename keyword argument in 
        ClassGroup* constructors to match argument name.

2003-04-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/session.py (Session.Destroy): Explicitly close the
        transient DB if it exists to make sure it doesn't leave a journal
        file in the temp directory.

        * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py (TransientDatabase.close): Set
        self.conn to None after closing the connection to make sure it's
        not closed twice

2003-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        Add a visible parameter in the layer XML tag. The default value is
        "true". If anything other than "false" is specified we also assume
        "true". Addresses RTbug #1025.

        * Doc/thuban.dtd: Add visible parameter to a layer.

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (BaseLayer.__init__): Change default value
        of visible from 1 to True.
        (Layer.__init__): Change default value of visible from 1 to True.

        * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_layer): Read visible
        parameter.

        * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Save visible
        parameter.

        * test/test_load.py: Add new test data contents_test_visible.
        (LoadSessionTest.setUp): save test data.
        (LoadSessionTest.testLayerVisibility): Test if the visible flag
        is loaded correctly.

        * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testSingleLayer): Add test
        for saving an invisible layer.

2003-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.SetMap): Look up the
        legend dialog box and tell it to change its map to the one
        supplied to SetMap(). Fixes RTbug #1770.

2003-04-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        Next step of table implementation. Introduce a transient database
        using SQLite that some of the data is copied to on demand. This
        allows us to do joins and other operations that require an index
        for good performance with reasonable efficiency. Thuban now needs
        SQLite 2.8.0 and pysqlite 0.4.1. Older versions may work but I
        haven't tested that.
        
        * Thuban/Model/transientdb.py: New. Transient database
        implementation.

        * test/test_transientdb.py: New. Tests for the transient DB
        classes.

        * Thuban/Model/session.py (AutoRemoveFile, AutoRemoveDir): New
        classes to help automatically remove temporary files and
        directories.
        (Session.__init__): New instance variables temp_dir for the
        temporary directory and transient_db for the SQLite database
        (Session.temp_directory): New. Create a temporary directory if not
        yet done and return its name. Use AutoRemoveDir to have it
        automatically deleted
        (Session.TransientDB): Instantiate the transient database if not
        done yet and return it.

        * Thuban/Model/data.py (ShapefileStore.__init__): Use an
        AutoTransientTable so that data is copied to the transient DB on
        demand.
        (SimpleStore): New class that simply combines a table and a
        shapefile

        * Thuban/Model/table.py (Table, DBFTable): Rename Table into
        DBFTable and update its doc-string to reflect the fact that this
        is only the table interface to a DBF file. Table is now an alias
        for DBFTable for temporary backwards compatibility.

        * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnExit): Make sure
        the last reference to the session goes away so that the temporary
        files are removed properly.

        * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.tearDown): Remove the
        reference to the session to make sure the temporary files are
        removed.

2003-04-29  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader.__init__, XMLReader.read): Turn
        the __parser instance variable into a normal local variable in
        read. It's only used there and read will never be called more than
        once. Plus it introduces a reference cycle that keeps can keep the
        session object alive for a long time.

2003-04-29  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection): Removed Set*() methods to make 
        Projection an immutable item. Fixes RTbug #1825. 
        (Projection.__init__): Initialize instance variables here.
        (ProjFile.Replace): New. Replace the given projection object with
        the new projection object. This solves the problem of needing the 
        mutator Projection.SetProjection() in the ProjFrame class and
        allows a projection to change parameters without changing its 
        location in the file.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.SaveSessionAs): Dialog should
        be of type wxSAVE and should verify overwriting a file.

        * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnSave): Use the new 
        ProjFile.Replace() method instead of the mutator 
        Projection.SetProjection(). Also requires that we reassign the
        client data to the new projection.

        * test/test_proj.py (TestProjection.test): Test GetName() and
        GetAllParameters()
        (TestProjFile.test): Remove tests for Set*() methods. Add tests
        for Replace().

2003-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_projection): Make sure
        to save the name of the projection.

        * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testLayerProjection): New
        test to verify layer projections are saved correctly.

2003-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.SetName): Set the name
        to "Unknown" if name is None.
        (Projection.SetAllParameters): New. Set the projection's
        parameter list to the one supplied.
        (Projection.SetProjection): New. Set the projection's 
        properties to those of the supplied Projection.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.MapProjection): Set
        the dialog title to include the map's title.
        (MainWindow.LayerProjection): Set the dialog title to include
        the layer's title.

        * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__ShowError): Consolidate
        error dialogs into a single method call.
        (ProjFrame.__VerifyButtons): Add more states to check.
        (ProjFrame.__GetProjection): Return the current state of an
        edited projection or None.
        (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): Remove checks for states that
        shouldn't exist.
        (ProjFrame._OnNew): Clear all selected items and supply
        a projection panel if necessary.

        * test/test_proj.py (TestProjFile.test): Add tests for
        ProjFile.SetAllParameters, ProjFile.SetProjection,
        ProjFile.SetName.

2003-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): Now 
        takes an optional argument to select the current projection.
        This does not guarantee that the item is visible due to
        limited wxWindows functionality. Fixes RTBug #1821.

2003-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/load.py (SessionLoader.start_projection): Remember
        the projection name and use it when constructing the Projection
        object.

        * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.__init__): Change the default
        value for 'name' to None and then test if name is equal to None
        in the body of the constructor. This way the caller doesn't have to
        know what the default value should be. Namely, useful in load.py 
        where we have to pick a default value if the 'name' parameter
        doesn't exist in the XML file.

        * test/test_load.py (LoadSessionTest.testLayerProjection): New.
        Tests a file where a layer has a projection.

2003-04-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.TreeInfo): Add an item to the
        tree for projection information.

        * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader.GetFilename): Renamed from 
        XMLReader.GetFileName.
        (SessionLoader): Added support for loading projection tags that
        appear inside a layer.

        * Thuban/Model/proj.py (ProjFile): Document the class. Move 
        back to using a list because the order of the projections in 
        the file is important to maintain. Fixes RTbug #1817.

        * Thuban/Model/resource.py: Rename calls to ProjFile.GetFileName
        to ProjFile.GetFilename.

        * Thuban/Model/save.py (SessionSaver.write_layer): Save projection
        information.

        * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnAddToList): Renamed from
        ProjFrame._OnSaveAs. Removed old dead code from previous
        implementation.
        (ProjFrame._OnExport): Add support for exporting more than one
        projection to a single file.
        (ProjFrame.__FillAvailList): use string formatting (% operator) 
        to build strings that are (partly) translated. Fixes RTbug #1818.

        * test/test_proj.py (TestProjFile.test): New. Tests the base ProjFile
        class.

2003-04-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * po/es.po: Updated Spanish translation by Daniel Calvelo Aros

        * po/fr.po: New. French translation by Daniel Calvelo Aros

        * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py (ProjFrame._OnSaveAs): Don't translate
        empty strings.

2003-04-24  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.GetProjection): New. Needed to
        implement the interface that the ProjFrame dialog expects.

        * Thuban/Model/proj.py (Projection.SetName): New. Allows the
        name of the projection to be changed.
        (ProjFile): Use a dictionary instead of a list so that removing
        projections is easier and we are sure about uniqueness.
        (ProjFile.Remove): Remove the given projection object.

        * Thuban/Model/resource.py (GetSystemProjFiles, GetUserProjFiles): 
        Return a list with only one projection file instead of searching for 
        any projection file. This simplifies many things if the user can
        only have one system file and one user file.

        * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Change all references to 
        genCombo to genChoice.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Add a Projection option under the
        layer menu.
        (MainWindow.LayerProjection): New. Open up a projection window
        for a layer.

        * Thuban/UI/projdialog.py: Large changes to how the dialog is
        laid out. Use three panels instead of one. One for the list of
        projections, one for the edit controls, and one for the buttons.
        Fixed resizing problems so that the dialog resizes correctly
        when the projection panel changes. Added import/export, save, and
        new buttons/functionality.

2003-04-24  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        First step towards table management. Introduce a simple data
        abstraction so that we replace the data a layer uses more easily
        in the next step.

        * Thuban/Model/data.py: New file with a simple data abstraction
        that bundles shapefile and dbffile into one object.

        * Thuban/Model/session.py (Session.OpenShapefile): New method to
        open shapefiles and return a shape store object

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.__init__): Pass the data as a store
        object instead of a shapefile filename. This introduces a new
        instance variable store holding the datastore. For intermediate
        backwards compatibility keep the old instance variables.
        (open_shapefile): Removed. No longer needed with the shape store.
        (Layer.SetShapeStore, Layer.ShapeStore): New methods to set and
        get the shape store used by a layer.
        (Layer.Destroy): No need to explicitly destroy the shapefile or
        table anymore.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.AddLayer)
        (MainWindow.AddLayer): Use the session's OpenShapefile method to
        open shapefiles

        session's OpenShapefile method to open shapefiles

        * test/test_classification.py
        (TestClassification.test_classification): Use the session's
        OpenShapefile method to open shapefiles and build the filename in
        a more platform independed way

        * test/test_layer.py (TestLayer.setUp, TestLayer.tearDown):
        Implement to have a session to use in the tests
        (TestLayer.test_arc_layer, TestLayer.test_polygon_layer)
        (TestLayer.test_point_layer, TestLayer.test_empty_layer): Use the
        session's OpenShapefile method to open shapefiles
        (TestLayerLegend.setUp): Instantiate a session so that we can use
        it to open shapefiles.
        (TestLayerLegend.tearDown): Make sure that all references to
        layers and session are removed otherwise we may get a resource
        leak

        * test/test_map.py (TestMapAddLayer.test_add_layer)
        (TestMapWithContents.setUp): Instantiate a session so that we can
        use it to open shapefiles.
        (TestMapWithContents.tearDown): Make sure that all references to
        layers, maps and sessions are removed otherwise we may get a
        resource leak
        ("__main__"): use support.run_tests() so that more info about
        uncollected garbage is printed

        * test/test_save.py (SaveSessionTest.testSingleLayer): Use the
        session's OpenShapefile method to open shapefiles
        ("__main__"): use support.run_tests() so that more info about
        uncollected garbage is printed

        * test/test_selection.py (TestSelection.tearDown): Make sure that
        all references to the session and the selection are removed
        otherwise we may get a resource leak
        (TestSelection.get_layer): Instantiate a session so that we can
        use it to open shapefiles.
        ("__main__"): use support.run_tests() so that more info about
        uncollected garbage is printed

        * test/test_session.py (TestSessionBase.tearDown)
        (TestSessionWithContent.tearDown): Make sure that all references
        to the session and layers are removed otherwise we may get a
        resource leak
        (TestSessionWithContent.setUp): Use the session's OpenShapefile
        method to open shapefiles

2003-04-24  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader.read): Should have been checking
        if the file_or_filename object had the 'read' attribute.

2003-04-23  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/resource.py: Fixes RTbug #1813.
        (ReadProjFile): Add documentation about which exceptions are raised.

        (GeoPanel): Projetion panel for Geographic Projection.

2003-04-23  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLReader): Renamed from XMLProcessor to
        promote symmetry. There now exists XMLReader and XMLWriter.
        (XMLReader.read): New. Call to read the given file descriptor or
        filename.
        (XMLReader.close): New. Make sure the file is closed.
        (XMLReader.GetFileName): New. Return just the file name that is being
        read from.
        (XMLReader.GetDirectory): New. Return just the directory of the file

        (XMLReader.endElementNS): Updated to use new dispatcher dictionary.
        (SessionLoader): Removed class variables start_dispatcher and
        end_dispatcher since this functionality is now part of a class
        instance. Fixes RTbug #1808.
        (SessionLoader.__init__): Add dispatcher functions.
        (load_xmlfile): Code was moved into the XMLReader.read().
        (load_session): Use modified SessionLoader.

        * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map.GetProjection): New. Returns the 
        map's projection.

        promote symmetry.

        * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (ClassGenDialog.__init__): Use a wxChoice
        control instead of a wxComboBox. wxChoice controls do not generate
        events as the uses highlights possible choices which fixes problems
        with resizing the dialog when the use selects an option.

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Use a wxChoice
        control instead of a wxComboBox.

        anymore.
        (Layer.BoundingBox, Layer.GetFieldType, Layer.NumShapes)
        (Layer.ShapeType, Layer.Shape): No need to call
        self.open_shapefile since it's always called in __init__

        * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.MainLoop): Removed.
        In wxPython 2.4 there's no need to extend MainLoop anymore since
        wxPython itself makes sure OnExit is called.

2003-04-16  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        Initial putback of projection management code. Includes new
        classes to read and write projection files. The current load
        and save classes were abstracted a bit so they could be reused.

        have a name.

        * Thuban/Model/load.py (XMLProcessor): New. Contains all the
        general XML reading methods that were part of ProcessSession.

        general XML writing methods that were part of SessionSaver.
        (SessionSaver): Renamed from Saver.

        * test/test_proj.py: New test cases for the projection
        file read and write functions.

2003-04-16  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Use repr() around values 
        in the ClassGroup*.__repr__() methods so it is clearer when
        a value is a string and when it is a number.

        * test/test_load.py: Rework the classification test to test
        that we can load old files. 
        (testLabels): Test a file where the groups have labels.

2003-04-16  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        Safer implementation of the performance enhancements of the
        low-level renderer:
        
        * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (extract_projection)
        (extract_pointer): Rename extract_projection to extract_pointer
        and redefine its purpose to return the pointer stored in a CObject
        returned by the object's cobject method. Update all callers.
        (s_draw_info, free_draw_info, draw_polygon_init): Implement the
        handling of these low-level parameters so that each s_draw_info
        instance is handled as a CObject at python level that also
        contains real references to the actual python objects which
        contain the values in the struct. Add free_draw_info as the
        destructor.
        (draw_polygon_shape): Add the py_draw_info parameter which must a
        cobject containing an s_draw_info pointer.

        * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.polygon_render_param): New
        method to instantiat the low-level render parameter
        (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Use the new method. Remove some
        commented out code.
        (MapRenderer.draw_polygon_shape): Make the first parameter not the
        layer but the low-level render parameter
        (ScreenRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Use the low-level render
        parameter.

        correctly.

2003-04-15  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (draw_polygon_init): New. Used
        to improve rendering performance by initializing the variables
        that are not change each time draw_polygon_shape() is called.
        The values are stored in a global struct draw_info.
        (draw_polygon_shape): Removed initialization code that is
        now in draw_polygon_init().

        * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Make
        drawing initialization call to draw_polygon_init()
        (MapRenderer.draw_polygon_shape): Use new signature of
        draw_polygon_shape.

        * Thuban/UI/classgen.py (GenUniformPanel): Fix spin control
        weirdness by setting the range to (1, maxint).

        * Thuban/Model/classification.py (ClassGroupProperties): Make
        instance variables private and optimize comparison operator
        by first checking if the color references are the same.
        (ClassGroupSingleton): Make instance variables private.

2003-04-07  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        Since we now say that the order of the groups in a classification
        matters, it makes sense to be able to manipulate that order. Most
        of the changes to Thuban/Model/classification.py are to that end.

        * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification.AppendGroup,
        Classification.InsertGroup, Classification.ReplaceGroup,
        Classification.RemoveGroup, Classification.GetGroup): Do as the
        names imply.
        (Classification.FindGroup): This was called GetGroup, but GetGroup
        takes an index, while FindGroup takes a value.
        (Classification.__deepcopy__): Copy all the groups, BUT NOT THE LAYER
        REFERENCE. Currently there is a cyclic reference between the layer
        and its classification. If the classification doesn't need to know
        its owning layer we can change this, since it may make sense to be
        able to use the same classification with different layers.

        * Thuban/Model/load.py: Use Classification.AppendGroup(), not AddGroup()

        * Thuban/UI/classgen.py: Use Classification.AppendGroup(), 
        not AddGroup()

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Now that we can depend on the order in 
        a Classification and have methods to manipulate that order we don't
        need to use our own data structures in the grid. We can simply make
        the grid/table access the information they need from a copy of 
        the classification object.
        (Classifier._OnCloseBtn): Event handler for when the user clicks
        'Close'. This is needed so if the user applies changes and then
        continues to change the table the user has the option of discarding
        the most recent changes and keeping what they applied.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Put "Show Legend" and "Show Session Tree"
        into the same group.

        * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (check_version): If Thuban is compiled
        with a really old version of proj, PJ_VERSION won't even be defined.
        If it isn't defined then just compile so that the function always
        returns Py_False.

        * test/test_classification.py: Fix tests to use the renamed methods.
        Still need to write tests for the new methods.

2003-04-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__SelectField): Move the
        call to SetSelection out of the method and before the call
        to __SelectField in __init__. This prevents a recursion of events
        when _OnFieldSelect is triggered by the user.

2003-04-04  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Rename Color.None to 
        Color.Transparent.
        (ClassGroupProperties.SetLineColori, ClassGroupProperties.SetFill): 
        Don't bother copying the color, since Colors are immutable.

        * Thuban/Model/color.py, Thuban/Model/layer.py, Thuban/Model/load.py,
        Thuban/UI/classifier.py, Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py,

        RTbug #1769.

        * Thuban/UI/dock.py (DockableWindow.UnDock): Restore size and 
        position (although position doesn't work yet under GTK).
        (DockableWindow.Destroy): New. Called when the window must be
        closed. Namely needed when the DockFrame closes and must close
        its children.
        (DockFrame): Listen for EVT_CLOSE and destroy all children.

        Also contains a lot of debugging printouts which will later
        be removed.

        * Thuban/UI/dock.py: Complete rework on the dock code so that
        that it is fairly removed from the rest of the Thuban application.
        It is easy to add new docks which the rest of the program having
        to be aware of them.

        * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Modifications to support selecting a 
        specific group in the classification dialog. Changed how layers

        This putback contains the code for dockable windows. There is
        no support in wxWindows as of this date for windows that can
        attach themselves to other windows. 

        The current model contains a DockableWindow which has a parent 
        window for when it is detached and a dock window that it puts 
        its contents in when it is docked. The contents of a DockableWindow 
        must be a DockPanel. DockPanel itself derives from wxPanel.

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.ClassChanged): Send a LAYER_CHANGED
        message, not a LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED message.

        * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map): Forward LAYER_CHANGED messages.

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Use wxADJUST_MINSIZE
        as one of the style properties for the fieldTypeText item to
        be sure that its size is correct when the text changes.

        * Thuban/UI/dock.py: New. Classes for the DockPanel and
        DockableWindow.

        * Thuban/UI/legend.py: Added some more buttons and made the
        LegendPanel a DockPanel.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Added sash windows to the main window
        and supporting functions for manipulating the sashes.
        (MainWindow.ShowLegend): Create a DockableWindow with the 
        LegendPanel as the contents.

        * Thuban/UI/messages.py: Added DOCKABLE_* messages

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanves.SetMap): Listen for LAYER_CHANGED,
        not LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED, messages.

2003-03-25  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * setup.py: Added custom script bdist_rpm_build_script so that
        when the rpm is built the path to wx-config is correct.

        * setup.cfg: Added line saying to use the custom build script

2003-03-20  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        Initial implementation of the Legend. 

        * Thuban/UI/legend.py: New. Creates a window that shows the map's
        Legend information and allows the user to add/modify classifications
        and how the layers are drawn on the map.

        * setup.py: New command 'build_docs' which currently uses
        happydoc to generate html documentation for Thuban.

        * Thuban/Model/classification.py (ClassGroup.GetDisplayText): New.
        Returns a string which is appropriately describes the group.

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.SetClassification): Generate a
        LAYER_CHANGED event instead of a LAYER_LEGEND_CHANGED event.

        * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map): Rename messages and use new, more
        specific, messages.

        * Thuban/Model/messages.py: New message to indicate that a layer's
        data has changed (LAYER_CHANGED). New map messages to indicate
        when layers have been added/removed/changed or if the stacking order
        of the layers has changed.

        * Thuban/Model/session.py: Rename and use new messages.

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Remember if any changes have actually
        been applied so that if the dialog is cancelled without an application
        of changes we don't have to set a new classification.
        (ClassDataPreviewer): Pulled out the window specific code and put it
        ClassDataPreviewWindow. ClassDataPreviewer can then be used to draw
        symbols on any DC.
        
        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: New code to open the legend.

        * Thuban/UI/view.py: Use new message names.

2003-03-19  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/main.py (verify_versions): New. Checks the versions
        of Python, wxPython, and some other libraries.

        * extensions/thuban/wxproj.cpp (check_version): Checks the given
        version against what wxproj was compiled with.
        (check_version_gtk): If wxproj was compiled with gtk then check
        the given version against the version of the gtk library 
        currently being used.

2003-03-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * test/test_command.py: Run the tests when the module is run as a
        script

2003-03-14  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        Implement selection of multiple selected shapes in the same layer:

        - Introduce a new class to hold the selection. This basically
          replaces the interactor which was nothing more than the
          selection anyway. A major difference is of course that the new
          selection class supports multiple selected shapes in one layer
        
        - Move the object that represents the selection from the
          application to the canvas. The canvas is a better place than the
          application because the selection represents which shapes and
          layer of the map displayed by the canvas are selected and
          affects how the map is drawn.

        - Make the selection and its messages publicly available through
          the mainwindow.

        - The non-modal dialogs do not get a reference to the interactor
          anymore as they can simply refer to their parent, the
          mainwindow, for the what the interactor had to offer.

        * Thuban/UI/selection.py: New module with a class to represent the
        selection.

        * Thuban/UI/messages.py (SELECTED_TABLE, SELECTED_MAP): Remove
        these unused messages

        * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit)
        (ThubanApplication.OnExit, ThubanApplication.SetSession): The
        interactor is gone now.
        (ThubanApplication.CreateMainWindow): There is no interactor
        anymore so we pass None as the interactor argument for now for
        compatibility.

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.delegated_messages)
        (MapCanvas.Subscribe, MapCanvas.Unsubscribe): In Subscribe and
        Unsubscribe, delegate messages according to the delegated_messages
        class variable.
        (MapCanvas.__getattr__, MapCanvas.delegated_methods): Get some
        attributes from instance variables as described with the
        delegated_methods class variable.
        (MapCanvas.__init__): New instance variable selection holding the
        current selection
        (MapCanvas.do_redraw): Deal with multiple selected shapes. Simply
        pass them on to the renderer
        (MapCanvas.SetMap): Clear the selection when a different map is
        selected.
        (MapCanvas.shape_selected): Simple force a complete redraw. The
        selection class now takes care of only issueing SHAPES_SELECTED
        messages when the set of selected shapes actually does change.
        (MapCanvas.SelectShapeAt): The selection is now managed in
        self.selection

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.delegated_messages)
        (MainWindow.Subscribe, MainWindow.Unsubscribe): In Subscribe and
        Unsubscribe, delegate messages according to the delegated_messages
        class variable.
        (MainWindow.delegated_methods, MainWindow.__getattr__): Get some
        attributes from instance variables as described with the
        delegated_methods class variable.
        (MainWindow.__init__): The interactor as ivar is gone. The
        parameter is still there for compatibility. The selection messages
        now come from the canvas.
        (MainWindow.current_layer, MainWindow.has_selected_layer):
        Delegate to the the canvas.
        (MainWindow.LayerShowTable, MainWindow.Classify)
        (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): The dialogs don't need the
        interactor parameter anymore.

        * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableFrame.__init__)
        (LayerTableFrame.__init__, LayerTableFrame.OnClose)
        (LayerTableFrame.row_selected): The interactor is gone. It's job
        from the dialog's point of view is now done by the mainwindow,
        i.e. the parent. Subscribe to SHAPES_SELECTED instead
        of SELECTED_SHAPE
        
        * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py (NonModalDialog.__init__): The interactor
        is gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by
        the mainwindow, i.e. the parent.
        
        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): The interactor is
        gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by the
        mainwindow, i.e. the parent.

        * Thuban/UI/tree.py (SessionTreeView.__init__): The interactor is
        gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by the
        mainwindow, i.e. the parent.
        (SessionTreeCtrl.__init__): New parameter mainwindow which is
        stored as self.mainwindow. The mainwindow is need so that the tree
        can still subscribe to the selection messages.
        (SessionTreeCtrl.__init__, SessionTreeCtrl.unsubscribe_all)
        (SessionTreeCtrl.update_tree, SessionTreeCtrl.OnSelChanged): The
        selection is now accessible through the mainwindow. Subscribe to
        SHAPES_SELECTED instead of SELECTED_SHAPE

        * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyView.__init__): Use the
        SHAPES_SELECTED message now.
        (IdentifyView.selected_shape): Now subscribed to SHAPES_SELECTED,
        so deal with multiple shapes
        (IdentifyView.__init__, IdentifyView.OnClose): The interactor is
        gone. It's job from the dialog's point of view is now done by the
        mainwindow, i.e. the parent.

        * Thuban/UI/controls.py (RecordListCtrl.fill_list): The second
        parameter is now a list of shape ids.
        (RecordTable.SetTable): The second parameter is now a list of
        indices.

        * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (ScreenRenderer.RenderMap): Rename the
        selected_shape parameter and ivar to selected_shapes. It's now a
        list of shape ids.
        (MapRenderer.draw_label_layer): Deal with multiple selected
        shapes. Rearrange the code a bit so that the setup and shape type
        distinctions are only executed once.

        * test/test_selection.py: Test cases for the selection class

2003-03-11  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/load.py: Temporary fix so that the xml reader
        doesn't cause Thuban to crash.

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Handle the cyclic references between
        a layer and its classification better, and be sure to disconnect
        the classification from the layer when the layer is destroyed
        so that we don't maintain a cyclic reference that may not be
        garbage collected.

        * Thuban/Model/classification.py: See comment for layer.py.

2003-03-12  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>

        * HOWTO-Release: New. Information on the steps for releasing
        a new version of Thuban.

2003-03-11  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Add normal border to SelectPropertiesDialog.
        Use True instead of true.
        (Classifier): Should have a single panel in which all the controls lie.

        * Thuban/UI/proj4dialog.py: Add normal border.

        * Thuban/UI/tree.py: Fixed problem with bad item images under Windows.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Use True instead of true.

        * setup.py: Update some definitions to use wxWindows2.4 files

        * Data/iceland_sample_class.thuban: Fixed file so that the
        field_type information is present.

2003-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier.__init__): Make the
        field type label grow so that when the text changes the
        size is updated correctly. This may be a wxWindows bug.

2003-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/application.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to
        SESSION_REPLACED.

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Wrap text with _(). 
        (ClassGrid.CreateTable): Set dimensions and size hints here,
        instead of in Reset, so we only set the size once.

        * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py: Don't need Shutdown(); just use Close()!

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.prepare_new_session):
        Call Close() instead of Shutdown().

        * Thuban/UI/messages.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to SESSION_REPLACED.

        * Thuban/UI/tree.py: Changed SESSION_CHANGED to SESSION_REPLACED.
        Go back to using OnClose() instead of Shutdown().

2003-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): SelectField() needed
        to know the old field index as well as the new one.

2003-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py (Classifier): Use __SelectField()
        to correctly set the table information and call this from
        __init__ and from _OnFieldSelect so that all the information
        is up to date when the dialog opens and when a field is changed.

2003-03-10  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/classification.py (Classification): Don't use
        layer's message function directly, use the ClassChanged() method
        when then classification changes. SetField/SetFieldType/SetLayer
        must keep the information about field name and field type in
        sync when an owning layer is set or removed.

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py: Added ClassChanged() so that the 
        classification can tell the layer when its data has changed.
        (Layer.SetClassification): Accepts None as an arguement to 
        remove the current classification and correctly handles
        adding a new classification.

        * Thuban/Model/load.py: Comment out print statement

        * test/test_classification.py, test/test_save.py: New and
        improved tests.

2003-03-07  Jonathan Coles   <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/classification.py: Implemented __copy__ and
        __deepcopy__ for ClassGroup* and ClassGroupProperites so
        they can easily be copied by the classifier dialog.
        (ClassGroupProperites.__init__): The default line color should
        have been Color.Black.

        * Thuban/UI/classifier.py: Setting and Getting table values now
        uses a consistent set of functions.
        (Classifier): Now non-modal. Has field type label which changes
        as the field changes. Keep track of buttons in a list so that
        we can enable/disable the buttons when the None field is selected.
        (SelectPropertiesDialog): Add buttons to make the colors transparent.

        * Thuban/UI/dialogs.py (NonModalDialog.Shutdown): New method which
        does what OnClose did, but can be called by the application to
        close a window. Needed when a session changes, and we have to
        close the classifier windows.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.prepare_new_session):
        Shuts down open dialogs. Used when a new session is created
        or a session is opened.
        (MainWindow.SaveSession): Should only call application.SaveSession()
        if we don't call SaveSessionAs first.
        (MainWindow.Classify): Allow different classifier dialogs for
        different layers.

        * Thuban/UI/tree.py (SessionTreeView): Remove OnClose and let
        the parent class handle it. Add Shutdown() to unsubscibe from

        * Thuban/UI/view.py: Get rid of the idle redraw. This is done by
        wxWindows already and our implementation doesn't work correctly
        with wxGTK 2.3:
        (MapCanvas.__init__): Remove the instance variable
        (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Always call do_redraw when there's a map to
        be drawin
        (MapCanvas.OnIdle): Removed.

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.unprojected_rect_around_point): Add
        a parameter to determine the size of the rectangle.
        (MapCanvas.find_shape_at): Create the box around the point on a
        layer by layer basis and make the size depend on the shape type.
        This solves a problem with the selection of point shapes at the
        border of the layer's bounding box

2002-08-30  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.CanRemoveLayer): New method

        * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map.CanRemoveLayer): New method to
        determine whether a given layer can be deleted.

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.__init__, MapCanvas.OnPaint)

        instance variable

        * Thuban/UI/view.py: Add/update some doc-strings.

        * test/: new subdirectory with a bunch of unit tests.

        arcs with multiple parts.

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (ZoomInTool.MouseUp, ZoomOutTool.MouseUp):
        Handle degenrate rectangles.

        * Thuban/Model/table.py: Make writing records work correctly:
        (Table.__init__): Keep track of whether the DBF is open for
        writing
        (Table.write_record): Open the DBF file for writing when necessary

2002-08-27  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/table.py (Table.write_record, Table.__init__): Open
        dbf files only for reading by default. Use a new writable dbf
        object for writing.

2002-08-26  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: Refactor the context creation:
        (MainWindow.Context): New method to return a context
        (MainWindow.invoke_command, MainWindow.update_command_ui): Use the
        new method

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.LayerShowTable): Use the
        LayerTableFrame

2002-08-23  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.__init__): Make sure we have an
        absolute filename.

2002-08-22  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        extensions/shapelib/dbfopen.c (DBFCommit): New API function to
        commit any changes made to the DBF file.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (make_check_current_tool)
        (_tool_command): Put the code that generates the "checked"
        callback into a separate function so that we can reuse it
        elsewhere

        * Thuban/Model/save.py (Saver): New class to handle serializing a
        session into an XML file. The main reason to introduce a class is
        that applications built on Thuban can derive from it so that they
        can save additional information in a session file.
        (save_session): Delegate almost all the work to the Saver class.
        Rename the filename argument to file because it may be a file like
        object now.

        * Thuban/Model/load.py: Get rid of the Python 1.5.2 compatibility
        code. Remove the little test code which would be executed when the
        module is run as a script which didn't work anymore since it can't
        import the other Thuban modules.
        (ProcessSession, load_session): Refactor the ProcessSession to
        have one method for each element start and end tag so that derived
        classes can easily override the processing of individual tags.
        Also, always parse with namespaces enabled because applications
        built on top of Thuban will likely use namespaces if they extend
        the session file format.

2002-08-21  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * setup.py (ThubanInstall.run): Don't repr install_lib_orig
        because thubaninit_contents will do it for us.

2002-08-16  Jan-Oliver Wagner <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py: menu item 'show session tree' now disable if

        when we have actually captured it.

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.Destroy): New. Explicitly close the
        shapefile and destroy the table.

        instance variable columns
        (RecordTable.GetTypeName): row and col may be negative in some
        cases.

        (InstallLocal.finalize_options, InstallLocal.user_options): New
        option create-init-file to build a thubaninit.py when running
        install_local
        (InstallLocal.run): Create the thubaninit.py module when requested
        (thubaninit_contents): Split the template into several parts and
        create a new function thubaninit_contents that creates the
        contents of a thubaninit module.
        (ThubanInstall.run): Use the new function to create the thubaninit
        module.

        inherited Desatroymethod first so that no more messages are
        issued.

        message if the stacking order actually has changed. Add
        doc-strings.

        * Thuban/Model/map.py (Map.subscribe_layer_channels)
        (Map.unsubscribe_layer_channels): Put the code that (un)subscribes
        to a layer's channels into separate methods.
        (Map.RemoveLayer, Map.AddLayer): Call the new methods

        as update_region to the renderer.

        * Thuban/UI/renderer.py
        (ScreenRenderer.layer_ids, ScreenRenderer.draw_shape_layer): The
        update box is now directly a tuple, not a wxRect anymore.

        arguments)

2002-02-04  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyGridCtrl): New class to use a
        RecordGrid in the identifyview.

        implementing a grid for a single row of a thuban table.

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.SelectShapeAt): Search through all
        layers by default. Easier to use than the previous default of only
        searching through the select layer which meant that if no layer
        was selected, you couldn't select a shape.

        * Thuban/UI/tableview.py (TableGrid.__init__): Fix typo

        * Thuban/UI/renderer.py (MapRenderer.draw_shape_layer): Honour the

        deselect the layer if no layer is selected

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.OnPaint): Only delay drawing to
        idle time when there actually is something to draw. If there's
        nothing to draw simply clear the window
        (MapCanvas.do_redraw): Call dc.EndDrawing and add some comments.
        (MapCanvas.SetMap): force a redraw in all cases because
        FitMapToWindow doesn't always do it.
        (MapCanvas.ZoomFactor): Add an optional parameter, center, to
        specify the point to move into the center of the window
        (ZoomOutTool.MouseUp, ZoomInTool.MouseUp): If the mouse wasn't

        (MapCanvas.find_shape_at): Iterate backwards (i.e. with decreasing
        index, i.e. reversed drawing order) so that objects appearing to

        new method save_modified_session.
        (MainWindow.OpenSession, MainWindow.NewSession): Use the new
        method to save modified session here too.

2001-09-11  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * setup.py (InnoIconItem): fix typo

        (thuban_bdist_inno.run):
        (bdist_inno.run): Move the decision not to create symlinks on
        non-nt platforms to thuban_bdist_inno and do it unconditinally
        since we never want to create the symlinks here

2001-09-10  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        identify view immediately

        * Thuban/UI/controls.py: New file with two classes RecordListCtrl

        new class RecordListCtrl

        * Thuban/UI/labeldialog.py (LabelDialog.OnOK): Check whether the

        directly so that Zero numbers are handled properly.
        (LabelListCtrl): Derive from the new class
        SelectableRecordListCtrl

        * Thuban/UI/proj4dialog.py (Proj4Dialog.__init__):
        (Proj4Dialog.dialogLayout): Make the window resizable and set the
        size of the text control explicitly to make the sizers work on
        both Windows and X.

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.find_shape_at):Add a new parameter
        that can limit the search to the currently selected layer.
        (MapCanvas.SelectShapeAt): Make sure that the currently selected
        layer stays selected even when no shape is found
        (MapCanvas.FitRectToWindow): If the rect has zero with or zero
        height do nothing (avoids zero division errors)

2001-09-06  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/tree.py (SessionTreeCtrl, SessionTreeView.__init__):
        Correct the spelling of SessionTreeCtrl. dabbrev is too damn
        convenient :-)

        (MainWindow.LayerShowTable):
        (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): Store the interactor in an
        instvar and use that reference instead of going through main.app

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.ShowSessionTree):
        * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit):
        * Thuban/UI/main.py (main): Create the session tree view in main
        with the new mainwindow method ShowSessionTree and not directly
        the application's OnInit method

        (SessioinTreeCtrl): Rename to SessioinTreeCtrl and turn it into a

        (TableFrame.row_selected):
        Selecting rows in the grid view now updates the selected shapes
        through the TableFrame. To achieve this we derive TableGrid from
        Publisher and introduce the message type ROW_SELECTED which the
        TableFrame subscribes to and which is issued by OnRangeSelect and
        OnSelectCell

        (DataTable.SelectRow): Removed because it's no longer needed in
        the row/shape selection scheme

        (MainWindow.__init__):
        (MainWindow.identify_view_on_demand): Don't open the identify view
        in IdentifyTool anymore. This will be done automatically by the
        new method identify_view_on_demand which handles the
        SELECTED_SHAPE message so that the identify view will be opened on
        demand

        * Thuban/UI/identifyview.py (IdentifyListCtrl.__init__): Remove
        the interactor argument. The SELECTED_SHAPE message is now handled
        by the parent.
        (IdentifyView.__init__): Add the interactor argument so that we
        can handle the SELECTED_SHAPE message here
        (IdentifyView.selected_shape): New method to handle the
        SELECTED_SHAPE messages

        NonModalDialog class
        (IdentifyView.OnClose): Extend the inherited version to
        unsubscribe SELECT_SHAPE

        * Thuban/Model/session.py (Session.UnsetModified): Remove debug prints

2001-09-05  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/view.py (MapCanvas.__init__): New argument, interactor.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.__init__): New argument
        interactor to pass through to the MapCanvas

        * Thuban/UI/application.py (ThubanApplication.OnInit): Use the new
        argument to the MainWindow constructor to get rid of the ugly hack
        that made main.app available early just so that the mapcanvas
        could access the interactor object.

2001-09-04  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.RunMessageBox): New method
        that runs a modal message box
        (MainWindow.OnClose): Use the new method
        (MainWindow.RemoveLayer): Just do nothing in case no layer is
        selected. The command should be grayed out anyway, so there's no
        need to pop up a message box.
        (MainWindow.AddLayer): Pop up a message box with an error message
        if the shape file can't be opened

        * Thuban/Model/layer.py (Layer.__init__): Open the shapefile
        immediately. This will cause an exception in case the file can't
        be opened and we can display an appropriate message.

        * MANIFEST.in: Add extensions/pyprojection/LICENSE

        * setup.py (thuban_bdist_rpm): New class implementing a Thuban
        specific bdist_rpm command.

        the locale module because it may not be available on some
        installations.

        * extensions/pyprojection/LICENSE: Copy of the license text in
        Projection.i. Having it in a separate file makes it easier to
        refer to license text in e.g. RPMs

2001-09-03  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * setup.py: use wx-config instead of wxgtk-config because it's

        <prefix>/bin to the outputs
        (ThubanInstall.link_file): New method to link files. We need this
        because the standard copy_files refuses to link non-existing
        files.
        (ThubanInstall.run): Remove the leading install root from the
        script filename if an install root was specified and use the new
        link_file method

        the window when the first layer is added to the map.

        * setup.py (ThubanInstall.run): Honor the build root (self.root)
        when linking thuban.py to <prefix>/bin

2001-08-31  Bernhard Herzog  <[email protected]>

        * setup.py: In the setup call, the install parameters shouldn't
        have trailing slashes because distutils on non-posix platforms
        doesn't like that. The same applies to other directories like
        "Resources/Bitmaps"

        In the configuration section for nt, move the wxWindows directory
        optins into the part clearly marked as editable.

        (InstallLocal.initialize_options):
        (InstallLocal.user_options): remove the currently unused debug
        flag
        (thuban_build_py.find_all_modules): Add this method so that it
        works for our case of having packages and modules in one
        distribution as well.
        (ThubanInstall.initialize_options):
        (ThubanInstall.finalize_options):
        (ThubanInstall.user_options):
        (ThubanInstall.boolean_options): Add new options, do-symlink and
        extra files. Since these are the first ThubanInstall specific
        options, override user_options and boolean_options
        (ThubanInstall.run): Honor the new do-symlink and extra-files
        options.
        (ThubanInstall.get_outputs): Add to override the base-class's
        version and add the extra-files to the outputs
        (bdist_inno): New class for windows distributions with Inno Setup
        (InnoIconItem): Helper class for bdist_inno
        (thuban_bdist_inno): Thuban specific version of bdist_inno. Added
        this together with the appropriate parameters, to the setup call.

        * setup.cfg (bdist_inno): added new section for the inno setup
        installer

        * Thuban/UI/tree.py (myTreeCtrlPanel.__init__): New inst var
        changing_selection to avoid recursive selection events when
        modifying the selection in response to a selection event.
        (myTreeCtrlPanel.normalize_selection): Set the new inst var when
        changing the tree's selection.
        (myTreeCtrlPanel.OnSelChanged): Only normalize the selection when
        we're not being called indirectly from normalize_selection.

        * Thuban/UI/mainwindow.py (MainWindow.update_command_ui): Call
        event.Check only if the command is actuall checkable.
        (MainWindow.__init__): Call the toolbar's Realize method to make
        sure that the items are actually shown
