Dark red triangle sprite

[zstadler]

For decorating the outline of minefields - #32

[valleyofdawn]

@zstadler Do you want the red line to be part of the icon or separate?

[zstadler]

@valleyofdawn, Just the triangle without the line.

Otherwise, the line could be broken and the density of the triangles would be fixed.

[valleyofdawn]

The same red as other features, or similar to official maps?

[zstadler]

This is what I have in mind:

Component	fill-color	fill-opacity	fill-outline-color
Minefield	#FF7F00	0.5	#801119
Triangle	#DB1E2A	1.0	#801119

The size of the triangles could be smaller In lower zoom levels, or they could be removed.

What do you think?

For me, it feels a bit strong, I might consider using red rectangles without any fill, just the outline...? maybe reduce the opacity of the yellow a bit more... not sure... In any case, it conveys the message and seems like a good starting point :-)

Please play with it and add a screenshot

[HarelM]

Do you have a branch you are working on? Did you use another area to test this? Can you share the style you were using to create this?

[zstadler]

I created the screenshot in QGIS, using its red triangle marker and some background color

For comparison

[HarelM]

this is a horrible drawing made in paint online but I hope you can understand the concept (imagine the triangles are all around not just where I had the strength to paint them...):

[zstadler]

Currently, the maps include several "danger" areas: military training areas, minitary bases, Area B, and Area A. Minefields need to have the strongest visual of them all because they pose an immediate danger to travelers and because they are small and could go unnoticed.
