[fusion-users] Fusion 2.0/MapServer & Units

[Nolte, Tim]

Yep, I've tried every combination of Units settings I can think of to
get this to work. However, the thing to keep in mind is that you are
using kilometers which I believe is the default unit measure and I need
miles.

		<Widget xsi:type="UiWidgetType">
			<Name>toolbarMeasure</Name>
			<Type>Measure</Type>
			<StatusText>Measure distances on the
map.</StatusText>
			<Extension xsi:type="CustomContentType">
				<Units>miles</Units>
				<DistancePrecision>5</DistancePrecision>
				<AreaPrecision>5</AreaPrecision>
	
<MeasureTooltipContainer>MeasureResult</MeasureTooltipContainer>
	
<MeasureTooltipType>dynamic</MeasureTooltipType>
			</Extension>
			<ImageUrl>images/icons.png</ImageUrl>
			<ImageClass>measure</ImageClass>
			<Tooltip>Measure</Tooltip>
			<Label/>
		</Widget>

Hi Tim, 

Do you have the units set in the measure tool widget like so?

<Widget>
      <Name>Measure</Name>
      <Type>Measure</Type>
      <Description/>
      <Extension>
        <Type>distance</Type>
        <RulerTooltipContainer>RulerResults</RulerTooltipContainer>
        <RulerTooltipType>dynamic</RulerTooltipType>
        <Units>Kilometers</Units>
      </Extension>
      <ImageUrl>images/icons/measure.png</ImageUrl>
      <Tooltip>Click on the map to measure</Tooltip>
</Widget>

Cheers 

Paul.

	So here is my dilemma. I've tried to find the source of it and
it seems

it's
	units set in decimal degrees (DD) with an extent set in those
units. It
	would seem that this mapfile setting completely overrides
anything I put
	in my ApplicationDefinition.xml for Units or DisplayUnits. I
want the
	cursor coordinates displayed in DD and I want the measure tool
and the
	view size status to be in miles. Has anyone got a clue how to
get this
	to work. I was able to change my mapfile UNITS set to MILES but
this
	really doesn't fix my map as 1) I don't know what to set for my
map
	EXTENTS and 2) then the cursor is in miles instead of DD. I'm
probably
	not going to let the measuring issue be a complete show stopper
but the
	is a tool that we already have in our Chameleon application that
I think
	people are already using. Thanks.
