In this article, our basic QtQuick application will be enhanced with a networking panel allowing it to connect to a remote server by entering an IP and port, and then allowing it to create and edit features, while broadcasting the changes to potential other connected clients.
Building on the article on adding a layer control to a QtQuick application, learn how to add tools for drawing basic shapes as well as tactical symbols on the map.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to modify the existing QtQuick sample and add a LayerControl to it.
We will replace the QML form to have a collapsible side panel, allowing to display a layer tree. The layer control will be populated from code through a model and will allow toggling on and off layers from the UI.
When working with geospatial applications, a common operation is to convert coordinates between screen pixel coordinates and geographical coordinates. This can be useful in various cases, such as displaying the geographical coordinate for the mouse cursor position, working with custom tools for user interaction, editing feature geometries from code, and more.
