Replacement for deprecated Graphic::geometryChanged signal (Or how to track a moving graphic with the viewpoint)

imbachb

In 200.8 the signal Graphic::geometryChanged was deprecated.

We used this signal to update the viewpoint of a Map View whenever a selected point geometry changes its position, e.g. to make the viewpoint follow the geometry:

connect(&graphic, &Graphic::geometryChanged, this, [this, &graphic]() { updateViewpoint(graphic.geometry()); });

Now that Graphic::geometryChanged is deprecated we need to replicate this behavior.

For Scene Views there is the OrbitGeoElementCameraController to follow a Graphic, but for Map View we have not found something similar which is why we implemented it ourselves with the Graphic:geometryChanged signal.

Is there a replacement for Graphic::geometryChanged? Or is there a better way to follow a moving graphic with the viewpoint?

@imbachb we have decided to "undo" the deprecation for the Graphic::geometryChanged signal. After some additional analysis, we don't feel that was warranted to remove it after all.

You can keep using it. In the next 200.8.x LTS release, the deprecation warning will be removed and it will be available in subsequent releases as well. Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us.
