Hi Mike and Mapmaker. Thanks for your answers. I will chew on them and see if my stomach can turn your knowledge into something useful :)
There is something I don't understand though, and I hope you can enlighten me on this matter: 1. I would think that the 'map' object would have a projection assigned and this projection would describe how the user sees the data. You described that Geoserver do projections on the fly - great :) But also that the base layers should all be in the same projection (sad). 2. If I know in what projection a (base) layer is in, I would tell OpenLayers in the layer configuration. Then there might be a difference between the projection of the layer and the map, but as I see OpenLayers, it is used as a top-down-looking (orthogonal-view) framework for displaying geo-data, and the difference thus could be described by a 2D translation in screen space? Of course this needs to be determined, but this must be relatively simple. ** The reasoning is that no matter what projection is used, it would still result in an image (or set of tiles) on the computer screen - the question is 'just' where. I hope you have the patience to help me understand why it isn't that simple :) Regards, Casper -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: users-boun...@openlayers.org [mailto:users-boun...@openlayers.org] På vegne af Mapmaker Sendt: 26. marts 2010 14:45 Til: users@openlayers.org Emne: Re: [OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers, Geoserver and Projections. Ahhhh yes! I forgot about that... I'm used to people always wanting the display coordinates in EPSG:4326- so that totally slipped my mind.
