Rémy,
thanks for your contribution! We will evaluate this for integration
into the ruler widget as we work to integrate Fusion into MapGuide OS
over then next few weeks or so. You mention extending it to measure
area, which is interesting because that is on our todo list also. In
fact, the intention is to rename the widget to Measure and provide a
way to measure distance, area or both at the same time. We would be
tackling this in early September probably. If you get there first,
let us know so we can spend time improving something else :)
Cheers
Paul

Hi all,
don't know where to post some improvement I've done. Don't know
too, if I'm right to post that here :-| ... I've added some options
to the Ruler widget as fellowing:
Here is the xml tag:
<Command xsi:type="FusionCommandType">
<Name>Ruler</Name>
<Label></Label>
<Tooltip>Measure distance</Tooltip>
<Units>Meters</Units>
<Precision>10</Precision>
<RulerTooltipContainer>RulerContainerBox</
RulerTooltipContainer>
<RulerTooltipType>dynamic</RulerTooltipType>
<!-- Only if Static -->
<RulerTipPositionTop>0</RulerTipPositionTop>
<RulerTipPositionLeft>100</RulerTipPositionLeft>
<ImageURL>images/icons/measure.png</ImageURL>
<TargetViewer>All</TargetViewer>
<Action>Ruler</Action>
</Command>
<Precision> Allows to display fixed distances: Enter 10 for 0.1,
100 for 0.01, etc...
<RulerTooltipContainer> The ID of a <div> you placed in the form
for Distances display. When not given, a new div will be built on
the fly.
<RulerTooltipType> dynamic: the distance display box (div) will
felow your Mouse, as already implemented.
static: The distance display box (div) will be placed on a specific
location, given by the 2 fellowing tags: <RulerTipPositionTop> and
<RulerTipPositionLeft>
---------------------------------------------
Put this code in your css file or in the <style></style> of your
sheet. This enables to customise the appearance of the display box.
#RulerContainerBox {
font: 12px tahoma
position: absolute;
width: 110px;
float: left;
border: solid #cc9966 2px;
background-color: #B9C6E3;
display : 'none';
visibility : hidden;
}
What would be very nice, is to create an implementation of a tag,
that allows to choose between distance measuring or area measuring.
I'll try to do that in the next weeks...
Rémy
