Hi all, we have a need to define a secondary `effective viewport` in addition to the current full map viewport.
This `effective viewport` shall come into effect when calling - zoomToExtent - getCenter - zoomIn, zoomOut and similar functions. The reason to want such a thing is that putting overlay elements on top of the map, such as a search box, the map key, etc. shall not impair the visibility of objects after calling `zoomToExtent`. Similarly, the conceived map center is in the center of this `effective viewport`, and `zoomIn` should center at that point. Quick: Has anybody been doing something like that? Do you have a hackish proposal? Correct: Is this a good idea? Do you think it is worth including this as a new feature in OpenLayers? Or are there even plans to do so? What would be `the right way` to implement this? Are there any caveats? Shall I open a ticket? Thanks and cheers, Nicolas _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users
