Icons and Icon Updated Please Test!

nigel_ht · 05-07-2007, 07:15 AM

I refactored Icons and Icon so that Icon can be subclassed in trunk.

Most of the functions performed in Icons has been moved down into Icon while preserving the ability to batch render within one Sprite.Begin/End block.

Calling Icon.Render should work but much more slowly. Worked in my test rig.

I believe we can create a KMLIcon from Icon and move all the KMLIcon specific code there...I put in enough hooks that we can modify most pieces of the render.

We can also create a "fast" icon that skips a lot of the new features to render as quickly as it can.

Please verify that I didn't break anything. I tested with the EarthQuake plugin so I didn't test:

Moving Icons
Icons that get their image from over the net
Icons with an overlay (key)
Icons that are KMLIcons
Icons that update themselves after some time period

Thanks!

Updated to have pre and post render calls to Icon so you can have specialized behavior even if the icon itself doesn't render (for example overlays).

Also added TrackIcon as an example of how to extend the Icon class.
