Multiple problems with polygon depiction in beta version 6.1.0.4738 #403

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Which products are affected?
Google Earth beta version 6.1.0.4738

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to display the attached KML file in the beta version.

What is the expected output or behavior? What do you see instead?
This file is an example of those that we produce at 
http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/kml/kmlproducts.php.  In current operational 
versions of GE, the file displays multiple labeled polygons and the typical GE 
terrain background.  In the beta version, the terrain appears to be blacked out 
and the polygons no longer display.  I've attached a couple of gifs of the same 
file...one using the latest beta, the other from a GE-Pro beta version (older). 
 I don't currently have the latest Pro version installed.

What application versions (if any) are you using?
Noted above.

Which operating systems (and/or relevant web browsers) are affected?
Windows XP.  On Windows Vista, the background appeared correct and labels 
displayed, but the polygons were either missing or improperly displaying.

Please provide any additional information (code snippets/links) below.
See the attached file for the code.  I looked into this a little in Vista and 
found that when the polygons do display, they are somehow being rendered at a 
point on the equator or in polyline cases, drawing at least one point at this 
equator point.

An additional note.  It appears that the terrain background will not display 
when the attached KML file is displayed in cases where GE is opened in OpenGL 
mode.  When opened in DirectX, the background does display (still no polygons, 
though)
