- Jan 2011 mnix@wanm.com.au
- * Added TargetWindow - view of target as seen from shooter.
- * Added a perspective checkbox to the target window. This switches
- between path as seen by shooter (on) and path relative to line of
- sight (off). For example, a bullet 1/2 way to the target will
- line up with a point twice as far above line of sight in the target
- as it actually is. ie if the bullet is 1" above line of sight at 50
- yds, it will be in line with a point 2" above line of sight on a
- target at 100 yds. The line appears to move on the target because as
- you move the target back (say to 200 yds) the bullet at 50 yds and
- 1" high will line up with a point 4" high on the target at 200 yds.
- * If a file name is given on the command line it is loaded at startup.
- No checking is done on the file name - if it does not exist,
- bad things may happen.
- * Added various target types including common NRA and ISSF targets
- * Added a "variance" ring around the impact point. This is 1 MOA plus
- a bit on the sides as alowance for spin drift (it's added to both
- sides and left to the viewer to decide on whether to allow for left
- or right twist. The amount is so small it doesn't matter much
- anyway (we allow a generic 0.1 MOA per 100 yards beyond 100 yards)
- Nov 2010 mnix#wanm.com.au
- * Added a drop down box to the Plot Window to select scope guides.
- * Changed the calculations for the scope guides to draw them more
- accurately.
- * Get Zero to float in the path plot
- * Clip the scope guides
- * Added an option for guides every 1 degree
- Oct 2010 mnix@wanm.com.au
- * Added scope guides to the path plot as a ready reference to how the
- trajectory compares to the field of view of the scope, in particular to
- one and 5 MIL marks on a MIL-DOT reticle. Included code for MOA
- as well, but commented it out pending GUI button to select
- MIL/MOA/NONE
- * Modified InputWindow and PlotWindow to handle plotting memory 3
- * Consolidated a lot of code in PlotWindow into 3 new functions.
- * modified InputWindow::cb_Solve() to treat zero ranges < 2 yards as a
- zeroangle and report the zeroangle used in the output window.
- This allows plotting the paths of different loads shot from the one
- barrel and scope alignment (eg for a two different loads in a .308
- without adjusting the scope, what is the elevation adjustment for
- each load?) Useful for hunters who might select different loads for
- different targets, but do not want to mess with their zero.
- * Allowed for larger y_range in plots.
- * Reduced the minimum range in the PlotWindow to 50 yds (default still
- 200). Useful for low power (ie .22) shooters.
- * Added Drop (MIL), Windage (MIL) and Target Size (MIL) columns to the
- RangeWindow (not all export formats have been updated yet).
- All useful for users of MIL-DOT reticles.
- Need to add a GUI box for entering the target size in inches - that
- way you can enter the size in inches of whatever you intend to shoot,
- then in the field measure your target in MIL in the scope, look that up
- on the range table and instantly get bullet drop and windage in MIL,
- no maths required.
- * Added metric conversions of the summary data at the top of the range
- table.
- * Cleaned up SOME of the misuse of malloc/delete/free
- delete calls the destructor then frees the memory. Calling free on
- an object after deleting it is an error, so is calling delete after
- calling the destructor!
- Also mixing new/free and malloc/delete on the same object is bad.
- Only use malloc with free, and only new with delete.
- * Re-wrote the GenTable and Export* code in RangeWindow to be data-driven.
- Adding a column, or modifying the layout of the load data is now
- done in one place and automatically appears in ALL output formats.
