[mapguide-dev] Coordinate Conversion operations in MapAgent?

[Bruce Dechant]

Paul,

Attached are the sample php I was telling you about.
The coordinate system API along with any other API can easily be added
to the agent it's just a matter of coming up with a use case for it to
justify doing the work.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Bruce

Thanks Bruce.  I can probably figure out the php api but your  
examples would be great if you can send them along.

For WebStudio, we are trying to keep it clean of server-side code so  
that it can be installed/run from anywhere.  Do you think there is a  
possibility of adding coordinate transformation code to the mapagent?

I'd be willing to help document and test it, but I don't have the  
skill to actually do it :)

Cheers

Paul
