[fdo-users] view scale

[Orest Halustchak]

Hi,

Artyom, FDO itself deals with data access and has nothing to do with view scales or other view / rendering attributes. That's up to client applications such as MapGuide. The data itself is stored in units defined by the CRS as Maksim points out. Even M (measure) values that might be stored are not tied to any view or view scale. They often are based on ground distance, but can be other units as an application may define.

Thanks,
Orest.

OSgeo::FDO::Geometry::DirectPositionImpl has M() property - it represents a
Measure related to given coordinate. It's on you to implement parsing of the
measure information and extracting something meaningful out of it. Geometry,
as it is, doesn't posses a scale - it's unitless by default.

On the other hand, FeatureStore may have CRS (Coordinate Reference System)
set. CRS establishes soft spatial relation between the "space" (container)
and geometric entities placed in it. It's definition does posses measure
info, just look under UNITS part of CRS WKT string.
