[mapguide-users] OnPointDigitized and GetTransform

[Mark Pendergraft]

I have a utility that accomplishes what you are trying to do, and I
convert to lat/long using this code snippet (in vb.net)
Assume you have variables X,Y which are doubles.

        Dim geoFact As New MgGeometryFactory
        Dim coord As MgCoordinate = geoFact.CreateCoordinateXY(X, Y)
                
        Dim coordFact As New MgCoordinateSystemFactory
        Dim coordSys As MgCoordinateSystem      
        coordSys = coordFact.Create(Map.GetMapSRS)
        
        Dim LLcoord As MgCoordinate = coordSys.ConvertToLonLat(coord)

	  link = "http://maps.google.com?q=" + LLcoord.Y.ToString + ","
+ LLcoord.X.ToString

I hope that helps.
Also, you don't really need an API key to do this.  My function just
puts together a link, and then uses javascript to open it in a new
window.

I have searched through the Nabble forum to find some sample codes, so I
kind
of understand what you mean.  However, I have also found that
MgCoordinateSystemTransform is now an abstract class.  I have modified
the
code to what I think would work:


        $coordSysFactory = new MgCoordinateSystemFactory(); 

        // Define a Target Coordinate System
        $source = $coordSysFactory->Create($mapGetMapSRS()); 


        // Define a Target Coordinate System
        $LLWGS84 ='PROJCS["LL-WGS84",
             GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",
    DATUM["WGS_1984",
        SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],
    AUTHORITY["EPSG","6326"]]
	PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],
    UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]]'; 

          
        $source = $coordSysFactory->Create($map->GetMapSRS()); 
        $target = $coordSysFactory->Create($LLWGS84); 
         
        $transform = new MgCoordinateSystemTransform($source, $target); 


And then the following code with the digitizepoint function.  

 function DigitizePoint() {
          // ShowResults("");
          parent.parent.mapFrame.DigitizePoint(OnPointDigitized);
      }
      function OnPointDigitized(point) {
          ShowResults("X: " + point.X + ", Y: " + point.Y);

However, I am not sure how to combine the two code snipets into one PHP
file?  You said something about "call Transform() passing in your
digitized
points", can you explain a little more or perhaps showing me how this
would
be written in the code?  Just having some difficulties with my limited
understanding and programming background.  Thanks again!!!

Also, does anyone know if the Web Mercator Projection works?:
