> If there are points (e.g southpoint, westpoint, northpoint, > eastpoint), is it possible to make those points as the map's bounds?
In most cases, no. Firstly the set of four points would have to lie at the corners of a rectangle that would happen to exactly fit the maps projection of something that _looked_ like a rectangle onscreen. Bear in mind on most real world maps, there is distortion from projection. Fpr example, the distance represented from corner to corner at the top of the map isn't the same as the distance represented at the bottom for example, even though the pixel count is the same. It depends on the source of your points, but most likely the best you can do is work to MBR - Minumum Bounding Rectangle - that includes these four points. Next problem is that the map only comes in integer zoom levels. For a fixed pixel size map, a map that includes your MBR will most likely be bigger than the MBR. > Then I would like to obtain a proper size of map in pixel. One approach might be to make an invisible map at the maximum pixel size you can allow. Then centre and zoom that to your MBR using the API's bounds methods. Then calculate the length of the sides of your MBR as it would be displayed there in pixels. Then use those pixels to size the map, keeping the centre and zoom. Finally reveal the map. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
