I think that's an application-specific function. FC should support drawing, manipulating, and interacting with various graphical objects. It therefor should provide the tools to build a map geo-referencer, but I don't see that function as somethign that should be built in. * you should be able to click on a image and know what pixel was clicked. * you should be able to apply an arbitrary transpofr the the native coordinates and that's all you need to geo-reference: - the image is displayed - the user clicks on a few points, and specifies their location in world coordinates - a transform is computed from those points. - the transform is applied to the Canvas -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ FloatCanvas mailing list FloatCanvas@mithis.com http://mail.mithis.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/floatcanvas
