Show scale with coordinates

[DanielOchoa]

The coordinate widget shows lat/long mouseover coordinates in the map, but can anyone advise on how to display map scale alongside the coordinates? Take a look here:

or see the screen shot, attached.

Simple adjustment to the coordinate widget? Thanks!

Hello
how I can fix the coodinates values to two decimal?

Stefano,

   Look three posts above yours.

To specifically address the coordinate display issue (not scale). Replace your substitute function with this:

 
private


function substitute(mapPoint:MapPoint):String


 
[LEFT]{

var nf2:NumberFormatter = new NumberFormatter(); 

nf2.precision = 2; 
return StringUtil.substitute(m_template, 
nf2.format(mapPoint.x), 
nf2.format(mapPoint.y)); 
}

[/LEFT]

Is there anyway to display MGRS (Military Grid Reference System) at the bottom instead of DMS/mercator?

Sure, the scale will be whatever the map's spatial reference is set to.

Is it possible to force the scale on the Coordinates widget to the same scale on the LODs on the Navigation widget?
Thanks

include this code:

map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_WHEEL, map_mouseMoveHandler);

directly under this line:

map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, map_mouseMoveHandler);

and the scale will refresh when you zoom in and out.   Otherwise it is possible to zoom in and out and not have the scale refresh until you actually move the mouse pointer....

Works great, however also added this line under that

map.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, map_mouseMoveHandler);

so that it gets updated on double-click to zoom in also.

My LODs are set by loading in a tiled service as a basemap.

the Scale displays exactly the LOD for the cached zoom level I am currently viewing.

Daniel,

   Sure something like this:

            private function map_mouseMoveHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            {
                const mapPoint:MapPoint = map.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY);
                coords.text = m_func(mapPoint) + " Scale 1:" + String(map.scale * 3.2808398950131235);
            }

I can never remember if the right calculation is multiple or divide though.:o

While this is a great example of incorporating code to modify output, you don't want to do this.  The scale shown is "Representative Fraction" scale  which is not based upon a specific unit of measure.  By this I mean an RF scale of 1:100 is the same regardless of how you care to measure it; 1 in represents 100 inches or 1 meter represents 100 meters.  To convert the result displayed means you would need to add additional text so it would read "1 meter represents xx yards".

Daniel, 

Try this in the CoordinateWidget.mxml 

            private function map_mouseMoveHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
            {
                const mapPoint:MapPoint = map.toMapFromStage(event.stageX, event.stageY);
                coords.text = m_func(mapPoint) + " Scale 1:" + map.scale.toString();
            }

Hi Robert,

Could you please indicate where should I stick this code? I have no idea!
