Implementing the track editing mode


Our final task for this chapter is to implement the track editing mode. We learned in the previous chapter how we can turn on the editing mode for a map layer and then use various map tools to let the user add, edit, and delete features.

                                             QMessageBox.Yes)
                if reply...
