[Therion] Idea: elevation projection surface panorama

[Dirk Peinelt]

Hi mappers!

I've an idea for a new Therion-feature. 

The feature affects only the elevation view, in a stated view direction.

The target is, to get a map with a elevation projection and a reference to
the surface.

 

If a surface is integrated in the project, it could be used to generate
automatically a surface-panorama from the surface point-cloud, on the basis
of the elevation-view-direction. And this could be printed to the elevation
map. 

(like http://www.viewfinderpanoramas.org/panoramas.html)

 

With an layout option should it be controlled: e.g.:

elevation-panorama on|grid|off

 

off: 

no surface panorama (default)

 

on: 

One panorama piece, calculated from view direction and the middled object
extension.

Or serval panorama pieces, one per entrance reference or/and the panorama
was calculated by topographic prominence in the integrated surface.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_prominence)

 

grid: 

serval panoramas (each calculated on the grid value, opaque on top of each
other)

 

Optional:

With a waypointlist in the surface block could be peak's or other interessts
marked.

Or with a new fixed station flag, e.g. "peak".

 

This would be a nice feature.

Is this possible? Or absolutely utopistic?
