Overview

The map view renders a portion of the world model on screen.

Dependencies

• Graphics implementation
• User Interface implementation

Requirements

• The mapview contains a cache of the graphics needed to render the model. It works with a reference count, discarding unused graphics after the cache reaches a certain size.
• Multiple instances of the mapview may be active at any time.
• The portion of the map being rendered is controlled by a python script that runs periodically.
• The mapview fills the complete screen; user interface is rendered on top of mapview.
