EWMB incorrect in dusk and night palettes

[DavidGrant-NIWC]

For consistency with the other color filled symbols the EWMB should use color token OUTLW to stroke the outline. This will keep the outline black in all color palettes.

Affected symbols: BOYSPH50, BOYPIL60, BOYSPH60, BOYSPR60

The affected symbols have been updated in the PC to address this issue. Close this issue if the pics below look correct:	Dusk	Night

To be honest I think I prefer to visualise the outline and the position circles of the symbols. In short, I think the symbols you changed should be the standard and all other color filled symbols should be amended to match. We could track this activity for '2.0.0 or later'.

To the PsWG team - What's your view on this?

I agree with you and initially was going to change the symbols as you suggest. However, I noticed that all the S-52 color filled symbols use "OUTLW" to outline the color. "OUTLW" stays black in all palettes.

The new color filled symbols are just maintaining consistency with the existing. Changing this would require changing all of the color filled buoys, beacons, and lights. It would also be inconsistent with S-52.

Noted. Your changes to PC 1.3.0 are ok but, I'll leave this issue open to hear some other points of view or, at least, for discussions at the next PsWG meeting.

For 'Simplified' colored symbols, not 'seeing' the outline is not that bad as they do not have the baseline with the position circle as 'Paper Chart' symbols do. Now that we introduced colored versions of the "Paper Chart' symbols the use of OUTLW in Dusk and Night modes is not ideal.

Decision at PsWG meeting on 10/7/2024

• [ ] All Paper Chart navaid symbols included in S-101 need to be reviewed and OUTLW colour replaced with CHBLK.

Not for PC 2.0.
