I have sent the new patch in a new thread because I thought you have missed this email... So please just ignore this patch and review the new patch. I also added some test geo data in the new thread. You can add postGIS extension and then import the data.
No - I just got back from vacation so am working my way through a large backlog. I'll look at the newer patch, but it might not be for a couple of days.
Thanks!
If you just want to have a quick look, I also build pgAdmin4 and import the data on my server. You can login and have a look: http://pgadmin4.gooong.cn:5050 . The username is my email address and password is postgis_test .
I will add documentation for the viewer in the new thread.
Thank you for your suggestions and I have implemented this visualiser:). I add button in the cell and when it's clicked the geometry is shown in a map. Here is the screenshots of it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fQVBRcmZJ3YcPLcL8
Attached is the patch for this geometry viewer. Please review it. Thank you.
I agree the map is the ultimate tool. However, I do think that being able to quickly view a single geometry from within the grid makes a lot of sense - and for users who want to easily visualise a single geometry, will be a great deal more convenient than the map.
Note that I'm not talking about anything complex here - just a convenience panel that renders the geometry, and maybe has zoom and scrolling. The viewing tab would be where the real magic happens - handling the map overlay and the ability to display many geometries at once.
As a user, I would agree with Dave here. A good example is a table that holds the polygons of each county in the U.S. or each country in Europe. It would be very helpful to view each individually as well as collectively if I were to select all in a query.
