I'm trying to reproduce the function being called in php to measure the distance between the two points of the measure tool in javascript so that I can display the current distance while a user is picking a second point on the map. So far the formula I have tried is not producing the same result as the result of $srsMap->MeasureEuclideanDistance($x1,$y1,$x2,$y2) in measure.php
the formula I am trying is: distance = sqrt(abs(x2 - x1)^2 + abs(y2-y1)^2) then to convert to miles: miles = distance * 0.000621371192 Thanks in advance for any input. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Calculating-a-Euclidean-Distance-in-Javascript-tp17348713p17348713.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
