Coordinate Menu Widget - New !

Drew

Hello Everyone,
I created a new widget that you might find useful.
Tucked away in the map context menu are three XY operations

   1.     Copy XY
   2.     Project XY (configurable)
   3.     Go To XY

ReadMe.txt included

Hope you find it useful!

Hi Andrew

Firstly - awesome widget, has gotten great use around our team. I have now got the job of building a viewer for a company that have their own projected coordinate system (no WKID) and I was wondering if I can somehow use it with your widget?

I have had a look at the ReadMe.txt however not much luck.

Thanks heaps 🙂

Dominique,

The tool i created does not support this functionality and I think it would be tricky to do with my current widget.
Your best bet might be to create a custom GP service to handle this..

Andrew

DominiqueBerger

No problem - thanks for replying to me. Ill give the GP service a go :cool:

Hi Andrew,

Great little widget, use it all the time.

Was wondering if you have plans to port this to the pre-release3 API any time?

Thanks,

Thanks for the info.
Just like that post says, all you have to do is update the projector.as file to use ProjectParameters.
I am still hoping to update the widget in the near future and might change some of its core functionality.

Is there a way to change the units of a coordinate system? People in my organization occasionally try to utilize UTM feet. Yes I hate it too and typically go on one of my rants when they do but it doesn't stop them. Is there a way to support UTM feet?

<coordinateSystem name="UTM Zone13 Meters NAD 1983" wkid="26913" decimals="2"/>

I think I am hoping there is a way to modify the coordinate system units to US Survey feet. Is there an unpublished protocol I don't know about?

If there is no wkid that supports that format the widget can not convert it.

UPDATE: Viewer 2.5 version now available for download.

Excellent widget Drew. I'm using the 2.5 version and somehow I'm getting the same value for X and Y in the "Live Coordinates". Is there a way to remove that feature since live coordinates are provided within Flex Viewer? Otherwise the widget works wonderfully and it's very handy.

Cheers,

Hakim

There is a typo in the CoordinateMenuWidget_GUI.mxml. if you have uncompiled you can change this:

  <s:Label fontWeight="bold" text="Live Coordinates"/>
  <s:HGroup width="100%" color="#C4C4C4" fontSize="10">
   <mx:Label fontWeight="bold" text="X:"/><mx:Label width="100%"
            text="{this.mouseMoveMapPoint.x.toFixed(helper.precision)}"/>
   <mx:Label fontWeight="bold" text="Y:"/>
   <mx:Label width="100%" text="{this.mouseMoveMapPoint.y.toFixed(helper.precision)}"/>
  </s:HGroup>

If you comment out that entire section, it removes it from the GUI.

That was a big mistake on my part guys. Thanks for posting the error and for providing a fix!

I have updated the 2.5 - 3.0 source and compiled versions on the widgets page.

Thanks again.

I cannot make the new definition of ETRS 1989 GK21FIN work. It came with ArcGIS version 10.1. wkid=3875.
The older definition wkid=3128 works.
What's wrong? Should I use my own GeometryService?

If it's new in 10.1 then you will want to ensure that you are using a 10.1 Geometry service.
The default service I have specified in the config is probably 10.0. Either change it to use your geometry service or you can use ESRI's 10.1

Either of these worked!
Is there anything special about creating your own geometry service.
I just created it with Manager and copied the path to config.xml strating with "http://localhost:6080/arcgis..."

Dear Colleagues;

Im using the widget customized with success. The litte customizations I've made was translating to Brazilian Portuguese and change some icons, comment some parts (specific tools likely confuse for a very lay users), etc. But I have an issue: the "Live Coordinates" section in the UI show only X values in both x and Y field. And more, the coordinates are in WebMercator metric system and i want to show it in WGS84, DD.DDDD format. Is it Possible? What could be wrong with the displayed coordinates (X= {x values} / Y= {x values}) ????

Thanks in advance.

HakimAbdi

But I have an issue: the "Live Coordinates" section in the UI show only X values in both x and Y field.

This has been discussed in the thread, see above. Draw corrected the source code, either download the zip file again or follow rzufelt's correction to fixed the typo in the source.

Dear Hakim;

I have already solved this issue following the rzufelt instructions and correting the mxml. But I still having problems with the Live Coordinates format. To this WEBGIS application's users the WebMercator metric coordinates it's quite confuse. So I want to show them in WGS84 DD.DDD or DMS format. If someone can give me a direction on this, will be great.

Thanks for your attention, Hakim.
Hugs for all

RhettZufelt

Hi Drew,

I see you added the DMS option for output. Was wondering if there is a coordinate system tag for the xml to accept DMS as input?

  <coordinateSystem name="GCS WGS 1984 (Decimal Degrees)"
   wkid="4326" decimals="9" />

I want the same system as above, just would prefer to be able to enter in the DMS as well (otherwise, I always have to convert to DDD first. easy for me, but the "users" have a fit ) 😉

Thanks again,

R_

Hi all;

Another little question about coordinate format with this widget. For my coordinates were shown in "live coordinates" in decimal degrees, I had to change the order of my basemaps, placing firstly my image service to the entire map image acquired its spatial reference system (GCS_WGS84). But when that is done, the function "go to"no longer work and there is a warning "Error projecting coordinates".

Maybe that widget does not work in another spatial reference system that is not webmercator? Any ideas?
Thanks!

MegPeterson

Brilliant! Drew thank you so much.

Two quick questions (hopefully):

1. Is there a way to have the "Go to Coordinates" window preload when the application starts instead of 'Live Coordinates'? Can I just copy the widget and comment out everything but the 'Go to Coordinates' functionality?

2. Is there a way for users to enter DMS and DM (in addition to Decimal Degrees) in the custom drop down? Our clients aren't used to converting DMS/DM to DD.

Many thanks, again!

Well, there is probably a "better" way to do this, but this works:

Make this change:

<viewer:WidgetTemplate open="{this.graphicsLayer.visible = true; }" closed="{this.graphicsLayer.visible = false; }" id="wTemplate" width="400" height="235" visible="false">

and add this:

   private function init():void
   {
    //Set Helper
    this.helper = new CoordinateMenuWidgetHelper(configXML,map);
    
    //SET Mouse Event Handlers
    this.map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMapMouseMove);
    this.map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onMapMouseClick);
    
    //Add GraphicsLayer to map
    this.graphicsLayer.symbol =  new SimpleMarkerSymbol("circle",10,0xFF0000);;
    this.map.addLayer(this.graphicsLayer);
    
    // add additional contex menu for projected coords.
    if (this.helper.coordinateSystems.length == 0)
    {
     btnProject.visible = false;
     btnProject.includeInLayout = false;
    }
    goToCoordinate.show(configXML,map);   
   }

Hi Drew,

I've got a bit of a predicament. I'm using a base map of the Antarctic in the Universal Polar Stereographic South projection (wkid="32761"), is there a way to show the "Selected Coordinates" box in decimal degrees (lat/long) instead of meters? I don't mind the "Live Coordinates" being in meters.

Thanks!

Cheer,
Hakim

MegPeterson

Rhett - Perfect! Now just trying to figure out DMS and DM for input.

Thank you!

MegPeterson

Hi Rhett -

I've been plugging along to get the 'Go to XY' widget working as a standalone. I'm slowly learning as I go, but running into a small issue.

Once I launch the "widget" and then close it, the widget 1. doesn't lose focus in the widget panel (ie: the white underline is still below the icon), and 2. it won't re-open. See the on close attachment.

Do you know of a quick function/command/something-er-rather to add to the s:TitleWindow to get it to reset? It only resets if I re-launch the applicaiton.

Many thanks, Meg

Meg,

I'm pretty new to the Flex stuff myself, and not sure how to handle this. I tried adding a widgetClosedHandler function, but since it is pulled in by the widget, and not actually the widget, I could not figure out how to have the helper close/minimize the widget it is fired from (visible or not).

However, I found a different option that might work for you. I removed CoordinateMenuWidget_GUI from the widgetcontainer in my config xml. I then added the CoordinateMenuWidget to the UI elements section in the config.xml.

That way, any time you want to get a coordinate, or GoTo a coordinate, you just use the right-click mouse menu.

If you want the GoTo dialog to open when the map starts so that it is visible (also modified the GoToCoordinateDialog title to inform user about right click to re-open), can make this change to the CoordinateMenuWidget .mxml:

   protected function widgetConfigLoadedHandler(event:Event):void
   {
    if (configXML)
    {
     //Set Helper 
     this.helper = new CoordinateMenuWidgetHelper(configXML,map);

     // Map mouse move event handler - captures XY
     this.map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, onMapMouseMove); 
     
     //Hide ESRI About Menu Items
     hideESRIMenuItems();
     
     // Load context Menu items.
     createContextMenu(); 
    }
    else
    {
     //Show error if XML fails.
     Alert.show("There was an error loading the widget configuration XML file ( CopyXY Widget )");
     return;
    }
\\My Add    this.goToCoordinates.show(configXML,this.map);
   }

Maybe someone that actually knows what they are doing will chime in and help,
