[mapguide-users] Fusion and Digitizing

[GordonL]

You know, you really do not need to reinvent the wheel, if you have already
built a lot of code with the Basic Web Layouts.  Did you know that Fusion
supports some retro digitizing methods?
For example, I put the following in an INVOKESCRIPT in the Flexible Web
Layout:

top.parent.DigitizePoint(top.OnPointDigitized);

I also have the OnPointDigitized in a JS file attached to the main
frame/window.  So I reuse my code for both FUSION and Basic Web Layouts...

Just check out the functions in the MapGuideViewerApi.js in the
/www/fusion/MapGuide/ folder...
They include:
Refresh()
SetSelectionXML(selectionXml)
ZoomToView(x, y, scale, refresh)
DigitizePoint(handler)
DigitizeLine(handler)
DigitizeLineString(handler)
DigitizeRectangle(handler)
DigitizePolygon(handler)

They work just like the classic MapGuide Viewer API...pretty sweet.
