Colorize track

Open jsavage opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Hi, I am looking for a way to display a track coloured according to ground speed ideally against a configurable scale of values. I can't see this as a current option but wonder how difficult this might be to implement.

Kind regards,

James

Hi @jsavage

That's a nice idea and the implementation should not be too complicated. The most complicated part will be the smoothing of the speed, I guess. It would look ugly if every pixel has a different color, so it needs to calculate an average and blend the colors smoothly.

Thank you for this nice feature request!

Hi all. I think it's a good idea to introduce an alpha channel for waypoints as well. In this case, we will be able to uniformly change the visibility of points, which will clearly demonstrate the change in speed in the process of movement. I also offer 2 modes of operation (depending on the corresponding options):

  1. Transparency of a point depending on the speed.
  2. Transparency of the point depending on the height above sea level.
