Map Creation Wizard:

In order to start this task the task

http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/show/google/gci2010/kde/t129346967251

needs to get completed.

This task is about the second step presented in that document:

The map wizard code should create a GeoSceneLayer as part of the GeoSceneDocument object created in the previous step/task.

 

The task is part of of a series of difficult tasks that refactor the Map Creation Wizard in a way so that it works based on GeoScene classes which has benefits in terms of extensibility, maintenance, etc. . The completion of this task series requires some very good in-depth understanding of Marble's technical design and the way GeoScene classes work.
