Polar Studio
|
Application
to import, edit and export polar charts |
* version 1.90 - 15/apr/10
New features:
- Circle tool - Draw
a single circle or a set of concentric circles.
Use key 'C' to select the circle tool (or use option Tools
> Draw circles)
Click circle center. Edit circle
properties: radius, circle type (single or multiple),
color, opacity.
With the circle tool, click on the center of an existing
circle to edit or delete.
Note that these are geodesic circles, not just circles
in the chart.
While small ones look like circles, large ones look more
like guitar picks...
-Double clicking a boat
track in the route/track list centers the desktop on that
boat position. (last point of the track)
-New mouse "snap mode"
while dragging the tools "ruler", "route" and "track".
Snap modes:
- Cardinal
Points (0,45,90, &c)
- -Integer Courses (round angles)
- Polar Vertices (polar chart vertices
rotated by the wind direction).
To activate snap mode, hold
the Shift key while dragging the mouse.
Use the new combobox in the 'Other' tab to choose the
snap mode.
-New embedded webserver
for remote access using a cell phone.
You can view the Boat Attitude panel and chart.

-Boat attitude panel - Changed the design.
New resize control for the polar chart.
Improved steering the boat by dragging the mouse on the
BA chart
( not really useful since it performs no action..but )
Problems fixed:
-The route/track Listbox lost selection when updated.
Fixed.
-Fixed a problem when canceling a WR calculation
(Cancel did not work and the program remained unresponsive)
-Fixed problems with "full" polar files and high winds
The Portuguese and french translations were updated.
Thanks Michel Fournier and Eric "Ricoo"
for the traduction française
(completed previous translation by Philippe Bonnaure,
J. Cloitre and J. Fruitet)
Also thanks Ricoo for many ideas and constructive criticism.
