No FEBA Line Displayed

CarlosColón-Maldonado — Thu, 27 Mar 2014 20:08:33 GMT

Greetings,

I was able to confirm this issue was found also on 10.1.1 as well as version 10.2 of the 2525C Message Processor Component. When a Forward Edge of Battle Area (FEBA) Icon is processed, e.g., SIC: "GFGCDLF--------", the enclosed symbol is created. Notice that the line between its default labels do not show. Is there a workaround to this or is this somehow related to all other tactical graphics issues? Some of these issues have been going on for awhile.

Thanks in advanced.

Carlos,

As you know this symbology is not my subject, but I've tried to render this using the following code:

Message message = new Message();
uuid1 = UUID.randomUUID();
message.setID(uuid1.toString());
message.setProperty("_Type", "position_report");
message.setProperty("_Action", "update");
message.setProperty("_WKID", "3857");
message.setProperty("sic", "GFGCDLF--------");
message.setProperty("_Control_Points", "-235647.46821,6677200.72612;-233742.27267,6678479.21259;-232112.82912,6679055.78493;-229881.74487,6680259.06632;-227324.77192,6681111.39064;-223790.13283,6682565.35566");
mgl.getMessageProcessor().processMessage(message);

This is what happens with the latest version in development:

I'm guessing this is wrong, but is this because of my control points?

If you post be a decent message I'll try it out with the latest symbol dictionary. If it is still wrong I'll talk to someone in the Military Team.

Thanks for checking this out, Mark. Your guess is right, but it's not because of your control points. I've found that the message processor is very forgiving in that it uses only what it needs to plot the symbol and ignores any other number of control points parsed from the property to get it done; it has issues (no symbol display) when it doesn't parse enough of them.

You were able to successfully replicate the issue as written, but this symbol only requires two points because it's a line representing an edge between two areas.

Okay, I'll flag this up with someone from the symbol dictionary team.

There is indeed an issue with the "Circled-X" symbol being somewhat faint/dim (that is being addressed in 10.2.3), but just to confirm that this (screen shot from the 2525C standard) is how you expect this symbol to look?
