interacting (via sliding finger/rotating globe) with app with rasters option open #202

Closed nickywright closed 1 year ago

Right now, when the raster panel is open you can't immediately rotate the globe (from sliding your finger).

Can we change this so we can rotate the globe straight away after selecting a raster? And that the raster options then disappear.

I know that tapping (not sliding) makes the raster window disappear but it isn't obvious at all, and we kept immediately trying to rotate the globe without any tapping.

I have fixed this. Now you can rotate the globe immediately after selecting the raster. But the raster panel cannot be closed automatically. I have added a close button for the raster panel. And now you cannot tap anywhere outside of the raster panel to close it.

Basically, technically we cannot keep both functionalities("tap to close" and "rotate immediately"). "tap to close" requires a transparent window to catch the "tapping" event. But with this transparent window in-between, it is impossible to "rotate immediately"
