[OSGeo-Discuss] what about wms-sites.com ?
hi all, there was a nice site (wms-sites.com) that I enjoyed very much because you could do thematic searches of avaible WMS, getting back a RSS feed that can be parsed and so on. the site has disappeared and I wonder if someone knows something or similar sites... I just know the list below, but they don't provide RSS. thanks, Pere Explore our planet: http://exploreourpla.net/gis/maps/ - http://columbo.nrlssc.navy.mil/ogcwms/servlet/WMSServlet?REQUEST=ServiceLinks -http://www.skylab-mobilesystems.com/en/wms_serverlist.html ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] parsing coordinates
hi Agustin,
thanks for the info, but what I was looking for is an on-line tool or
script to run on server-side.
A project's colleague (Dominik Mikiewicz) has developed a tool; it runs on
ASPX but the source code is in C# and soon will be migrated to JAVA.
if someone is interested can check
http://forest.miiz.waw.pl/gis/coordinateconverter/default.aspx
Any feedback and/or suggestions are wellcome.
Below are some comments from the author (about 29 april, maybe now
outdated)
At the moment it converts only 4 coordinate notation patterns (currently
English only, sorry) but I tried to enable it to convert most of the
flavours of given notation. If you find anything that is supposed to be
converted but either yields an error in an application (serious problem as
the parser recognizes pattern but can't parse it) or gives a 'Unrecognized
pattern' message, please note the coordinate string you were trying to parse
and kindly send it to me.
Ideally, if I have enough spare time, I will add a custom pattern builder
and a batch converter for the csv / txt files. This may take some time
though. Anyway, just to get to the point:
Recognized coordinate notations are:
1. Variations of DD(.|,)DDD (useful if hemisphere indicator is to be
removed)
2. Variations of DD(°|d)MM.MMM('|m)
3. Variation of DD(°|d)MM(ʹ|m)SS.SSS(ʺ|s)
4. Variation of DD:MM:SS.SSS
Some other comments that may be useful:
1. Characters in brackets mean that the converter recognizes all of the
listed characters. Furthermore they can be mixed, ie: 12°25m, 12d25',
12D25m, or omitted when at the end, ie: 12°12, 12°, 12, etc.
2. Converter recognizes patterns even if they are not written in the full so
quite flexible notations are allowed, ie: DD, DD:, DD:MM, DD:MM:, DD:MM:SS,
DD:MM:SS., DD:MM:SS.SSS, etc
3. In adition to the coordinate pattern each coordinate may have either
(+|-|N|n|S|s|W|w|E|e) in the front or (N|n|S|s|W|w|E|e) at the end; in a
case there is no chemisphere indicator the parser assumes the coordinate is
positive; in a specific case of the DD(°|d)MM(ʹ|m)SS.SSS(ʺ|s) notation, when
there is s used to mark seconds the coverter will assume the coordinate is
negative if the hemisphere indicator is not given explicitly - by using
(+|-|N|n|S|s|W|w|E|e) in front or (N|n|S|s|W|w|E|e) at the end
4. Any amouont of the white space characters may be used between each part
of the coordinate except between a number and it's decimal part. So N
12D 30 ' or- 123 ° 30 ' 50 '' is allowed but 12 ,
30 will yield an unrecognized pattern' message; as demonstrated in this
example any amount of whitespace characters may also be at the beginning or
at the end of the string.

hi all,
I'm developing a webapplication that let's user upload their point
data and play with it.
It currently works with lat/long in a CSV with this format (eg:
0.44, -79.9) but we find users with some of these also valid and
acceptable ways to write geographic coordinates:
40:26:46N,79:56:55W
40:26:46.302N 79:56:55.903W
40°26'21N 79°58'36W
40d 26' 21 N 79d 58' 36 W
40.446195N 79.948862W
40.446195, -79.948862
40° 26.7717, -79° 56.93172
I'm aware that parsing and interpreting free-text coordinate
descriptions is quite complex, maybe someone knows a script (or a
remote service) that does a similar job?
It would be very helpful.
Thanks!

[OSGeo-Discuss] problem using php's GD to overlay images
hi all, I need to overlay two or more images from server-side (PHP) coming from diferent WMS GetMaps (as I need to create these requests using dynamically created SLDs for different layers I cannot integrate everything on the same Getmap). In these GetMaps I include the Transparent=true parameter. I'm using imagecopymerge from GD php's library to overlay the images. One of the parameters of this function is a percentage (of pixels of the second image to be printed over the second image). The problem is that it means losing brightness. You can check this URL (as in Mexico there are more than one layer overlayed, it appears without brightness) http://edit.csic.es/fitxers/TDWG_distributions.php?ad=tdwg2/c:Brazil,Mexico,Caribbean|b:Mexico||tdwg4/c:Nicaragua,Chiapas,Oaxaca,Veracruz||tdwg3/a:MXC,|b:MXE,MXG|d:VEN|c:MXT,as=a:d7add2|b:ab8dc9F|c:f2e227|d:f7555dms=700x450 Some idea? some similar function in PHP (or not...) to solve it? thanks! -- Pere Roca Ristol Biòleg i especialista GIS Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (CSIC) Visita l'EDIT mapViewer! http://edit.csic.es/edit_geo/prototype/edit.html ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
