Satellite footprint visualization

[csete]

The branch feature/coverage contains pull request 223 by @brookst, which makes the satellite footprints and names on the map optional. Instead of having these as a per-satellite on/off option, we could make these settings that apply to all satellites on the map and extend it to something like:

• Satellite names (enumeration):
  • Enabled (default): Satellite name is always shown
  • Disabled: Satellite name is never shown (exept in the tooltip)
  • Selected: Satellite name is only shown for the selected satellite
• Range circle (enumeration):
  • Enabled (default): Range circle is always shown
  • Disabled: Range circle is never shown
  • Selected: Range circle is only shown for the selcted satellite
• Footprint area, i.e. te area within the range circle (enumeration):
  • Disabled: No highlighting of the footprint area
  • Highlighted (default): Highlighted as today
  • Other options can be added later to visualize e.g. coverage of a constellation or how close a satellite is

Has this enhancement been released yet?

I agree that ground footprint toggle would be more useful if being a global (per module) option too, as one probably wants to hide footprints for large constellations.

(Btw, unfortunately, currently it's impossible to do that even in sub-optimal way by colors config, as Satellite color covers footprint border line color as well).
