[Geomoose-users] Buffer Tool

Tue Oct 28 12:22:29 EDT 2008

Yeah I've been playing around with this in the buffer tool, but it runs a php script, which also needs to be modified.  It keeps saying it must be a poly.  The select tool is probably ok as a box, but the buffer tool really doesn't do any good on roads if it is a box select.

My graphic drawing tools don't work in the county demo either.

Subject: [Geomoose-developers] Buffer Tool

First and foremost, I just wanted to thank you guys for the new release of GeoMoose.  It is much better than GeoMoose 1.0, which I had been using.  You guys did a great job.  Secondly, I was wondering if the buffer tool could function more like the draw line tool.  As it currently stands you can only select by drawing a square box.  This makes it impossible to select or buffer a stretch of curvy road.  For example I want to buffer only Highway 101; if you could draw a line down the center of Highway 101 then you could buffer it.  You can't draw a square around Highway 101 and get only the roads you want.  You could additionally add in a shortcut key to get the tool to draw a square box.

Just thought I would pass this along to anyone interested...

I asked the question to get the select tools mailing labels to work like the buffer tool....The buffer tool was not specific enough...with the select tool I can select with Polygons, Lines, and Points...these means are far more specific and make more sense for my application.  Sometimes you need random selections.....

GeoMOOSE was not designed for this....... I got this code from Mike Hamby....Thanks Mike!

Anyways....the code is below....its basically the SELECT BUFFER code ...just replace you select code with this....and replace the blue code with your specifics....

The main line allowing this is the negative buffer.... <input type="hidden" name="buffer" value="-5"/>

Then you can change the shape="box" to allow a box, polygon, ,line etc

<service title="Select Feature" default="true" locked="true" cursor="url(cursors/select.cur), auto" shape="box" type="inspect-search" icon="shared/images/toolbar/draw_polygon.jpg" highlight="shared/images/toolbar/draw_polygon_selected.jpg">

<url>php/buffer_select.php</url>

                    <input type="hidden" name="buffer" value="-5"/>

                    <input type="multipoint" name="coords"/>

                    <input type="hidden" name="shape" value="poly"/>

                    <input type="hidden" name="map" value="/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_Crawford_UTM/select.map"/>

                    <input type="hidden" name="select" value="/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_Crawford_UTM/select.map"/>

                    <input type="hidden" name="select_layer" value="Parcels:PIN">Parcels></input>

                    <input type="hidden" name="query_layer" value="Parcels:PIN">Parcels></input>

                    <input type="hidden" name="output" value="html"/>

 </service>

Ok, well if it seems there is no up-to-date information regarding this

then how about the moose: tags returned from services?

The "types" are actually deprecated.

They used to imply how the search results were called and processed.

The only type that is honoured any more is "xml-post" which you can see

an example of operation in the Print service, which actually posts XML

to print.php for output.

Subject: [Geomoose-users] Service Types XML

I am looking at the service definition located at GeoMoose's website.

http://www.geomoose.org/moose/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=

14&Itemid=29

I am trying to investigate the different parameters; particularly

'type'. I am looking at the Select Feature Service and notice the type

is "inspect-search". What is this? Are there more types than the 3

displayed on the site? Any help is appreciated..

There is an intentional lack of documentation there, and that's because it's a freakin' hack.

What happens when you return stuff from a service is this:

1) If it returns mapbook XML, then it processes it as if you've loaded another mapbook, it can turn layers on, update them, etc.

2) If it returns HTML, it displays the HTML in the DIV, and then takes commands from the <moose:mapbook>, it uses the different name space in order to get the ease of HTML templating and get the power needed to do two way communications between the Javascript client and the server-side services.
