Measuring areas

[Pedro Venâncio]

Hello

There are plans to introduce a tool for measuring areas in MapGuide? It seems to me that is the few "basic" features missing in the built-in commands.

Hello Zac,

Unfortunately no, I am not programmer. I'm just a user of MGOS and some samples that you, programmers, kindly provide! ;)

Curiously, I am currently working on my master's thesis that aims to prove, among other things, that it is not necessary to be a programmer to develop excellent WebGIS applications with OS software! MGOS with Maestro is an excellent example!

The tool for measuring areas is just a wish that I'd like to see in a future version of the MG! One more for the wish list! :)

Pedro

Hello all,

past 2 years I've done this contribution to MG (distance + area). It seems that the code has only been partially integrated, without area measure. I don't know why it has not been ported, but I suspect it was because the areas were only available in meter and for other some reasons...

I put in attachment what I did and what I've sent to the MG project. This widget is working with fusion and MG V 1.2. Because now the project has moved to Openlayers, it would require some changes to make it working again...

Regards,

Hello Zac,
here is the ticket:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/1126

I'll post to mg internals too.

regards,
Rémy

Hi Rémy,

Your contribution was added to fusion 1.0 (?) (thanks!) but I had some  
problems with the area thing (not specifically with your code IIRC).  
When we started 2.0, the widget was changed substantially to use the  
OpenLayers controls for measuring and a lot of the code was removed,  
but some of the options are still there with your comments!  Area  
support is finally enabled in the latest 2.0 branch and trunk versions  
I believe.

I will close this ticket as invalid as I think we have finally  
addressed this issue.  Please reopen if you disagree.

Cheers

Paul
