Observer Height capability #71

Open ScottCecilio opened 9 years ago

ScottCecilio commented 9 years ago

Add the ability to adjust the height of the observer for the Viewshed GP tool. This can be placed in the Options->Settings section and will allow users to adjust within the App for different vehicle heights.

Thanks, @ScottCecilio. A couple of notes:

  1. You can currently set the observer height in mapconfig.xml. That's the workaround until we allow the user to set it in the UI.
  2. In the UI, we could put it in this settings dialog, and/or we could add it to the viewshed dialog. I think it should be in the viewshed dialog for convenience, and it could be saved as a setting there. But that would be the only place (so far) in Vehicle Commander where a setting is set somewhere other than in the settings dialog, so we should think about that from a software engineering perspective.

In any case, your suggestion is a good one and I think we will implement it at some point.
