[Therion] A wtherion update

[Yann Gardère]

Hello

I have not yet tested in depth or in real topographical drawing conditions,
but it is really great to be able to see the visual result of the lines
without generating a PDF, I will test in my next topo, thank you very much !

Yann

> I just spent the last two weeks rewriting the UI of wtherion, which
> was originally a fork of a vector editing application, migrating the
> parts that used jQuery to Vue. The canvas library and most of the
> editing logic are the same, this change just means the editor UI can
> be even more dynamic, complex and useful than before. This eliminated
> a lot of unnecessary or overly complex code left from the vector
> editor, and I hope in the future this will make it easier to maintain
> and add new features to.
>
> Some of the more visible changes include:
> - New layout and new UI styles
> - Shortcuts icons for common actions
> - Keybinds can be configured (this is not persisted yet)
> - All select lists (including points/symbols) have preview images
> - UI language can be changed at runtime
> - New rendering capabilities
>
> This last one I'm especially happy about, it's a step towards actual
> WYSIWYG editing, although that is not planned for this project.
> Currently you can see, in real time, while editing, what your 'slope',
> 'pit' or 'overhang' lines might look like when compiled. The main
> limiting factor here is performance, since I don't know how capable
> the average user's hardware will be, I tried to keep it optimised, and
> I added a toggle for it in the toolbar.

> I'm planning on releasing a 1.0 version of wtherion in the future, but
> I would like to hear feedback on this development version, which can
> be reached at beta.wtherion.daemonw.com (this is also linked in the
> GitHub repo). If you have suggestions on how it should work
> differently, if it's not working well for your workflow, or if you
> find a bug, please let me know here, or create an issue on GitHub.

> I can't make any guarantee as to the timeline of development, or how
> quickly I'll respond. Admittedly, I haven't worked on this project
> very actively in the last two years, but right now I want to spend
> more time on it.

> The scope of the project hasn't really changed, but I'd be interested
> to work on other projects that plan to replace the whole of XTherion,
> or even replace text based editing.
