find lattiude and longitude

popmotsy

hi,

I want latitude and longitude  in degrees for the geometry points.

for ex :
private function gHandler(e:GeometryServiceEvent):void
{
var ge:Geometry = (event.result as Array)[0];
        const pt:MapPoint = ge as MapPoint

now i am using webMercatorToGeographic here but lat, long not comes in degrees..

Any help..!!

Pop Motsy,

   It is degrees but it is decimal degrees. I suppose you want degrees minutes and seconds then.
   For that you have to do a little math and string manipulation.

            private function deg_to_dms ( degfloat:Number ):String
            {
                //Input must be non-negative:
                if (degfloat < 0)
                    return "error";
                
                //Compute degrees, minutes and seconds:
                var deg:int = int(degfloat);
                var minfloat:Number = 60 * ( degfloat - deg );
                var min:int = int( minfloat );
                var secfloat:Number = 60 * ( minfloat - min );
                
                var rString:String = "";
                rString = deg + "º" + min + "'" + secfloat.toFixed(4) + "''";
                return rString;
            }
