## Implemented Interfaces

ChamplainView implements ClutterContainer, ClutterScriptable, ClutterAnimatable and AtkImplementorIface.

## Description

The ChamplainView is a ClutterActor to display maps. It supports two modes of scrolling:

- Push: the normal behavior where the maps don't move after the user stopped scrolling;

- Kinetic: the iPhone-like behavior where the maps decelerate after the user stopped scrolling.

You can use the same ChamplainView to display many types of maps. In Champlain they are called map sources. You can change the map-source property at anytime to replace the current displayed map.

The maps are downloaded from Internet from open maps sources (like OpenStreetMap). Maps are divided in tiles for each zoom level. When a tile is requested, ChamplainView will first check if it is in cache (in the user's cache dir under champlain). If an error occurs during download, an error tile will be displayed.

The button-press-event and button-release-event signals are emitted each time a mouse button is pressed and released on the `view` .

## Signal Details

### The `“animation-completed”` signal

    void
    user_function (ChamplainView *arg0,
                   gpointer       user_data)

The “animation-completed” signal is emitted when any animation in the view ends. This is a detailed signal. For example, if you want to be signaled only for go-to animation, you should connect to "animation-completed::go-to". And for zoom, connect to "animation-completed::zoom".

#### Parameters

user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |

Flags: Has Details

    user_function (ChamplainView *arg0,
                   gpointer       user_data)

Indicates that the layers have been "relocated". In practice this means that every layer should connect to this signal and redraw itself when the signal is emitted. Layer relocation happens when zooming in/out and when panning for more than MAX_INT pixels.

#### Parameters

user_data | user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
