I do not believe you can have a google map not in a browser. That is to say, you cannot have a google INTERACTIVE map. You can certainly drop screenshots in as graphics. Bob S > On Apr 26, 2017, at 19:31 , William Prothero via use-livecode > wrote: > > I

Re: Map Widget"

What I'm thinking about is a map that I can control location and magnification of a google map from livecode, do an image capture, and draw symbols on that capture. I would need to be able to recover the latitude and longitude of the displayed map boundaries. I remember some discussions about

Re: Map Widget"

I use maps in the browser widget extensively for Augmented Earth. It works great. You could hypothetically export the image data from the HTML canvas object, export the lat/lng boundaries, and present all of that through a LiveCode image object. Be prepared to do a bit of math, but I think it

Re: mouseMove & backgoundBehavior

Fascinating. I consider this unwanted, unwarranted and just awful behavior. A group is ostensibly "just a control", and that is how it is touted to those old HC'ers like me to make the loss of the HC backGround object layer more palatable. The difference in that aspect of LC, as well as the way

Bill, Have you checked the mergMK extension referred to in the post? To my knowledge the widget referred ton in the post has not yet been created. To take another tack—have you looked at the Google Static Map API? If you’re comfortable using RESTful API’s in LiveCode you can get a pretty

No - I don't even use google. I use bing maps, bing geocoding, and webglearth for 3D. Google's TOS and reputation scares me. I just use the browser widget, no other plugin. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 27, 2017, at 12:26 PM, William Prothero via use-livecode >

Re: Swiping between cards - metaphor end-of-the-road?

Maybe each card could have a parameter like "swipeTo" which would be the id of another card. Default could be nothing, which would disable swipe. But if there's a card id in there then swiping would put that card "underneath" so it's visible as the current card moves and if the swipe gesture

The problem with ambiguous counter names is that often there are nested repeat loops and knowing which counter for which loop is crucial to understanding the code. I almost never use i, j, k, l and when I do, I usually regret the choice and remember why I don't use them. Bob S > On Apr 27,

Richard. I understand the reordering of the layers in the hierarchy. That is not the issue. If you modify the handler: on mousemove newMouseH, newMouseV if the mouseLoc is within the rect of me then put newMouseH, newMouseV end mousemove Even with backGroundBehavior set to "true", the

Yup. I do that a lot. Where I have an issue is dividing up a block of time into multiple segments, where the minutes may not divide evenly between all the segments. So I produced this: function timeTable pStartTime, pStartLunch, pEndLunch, pEndTime, pItemCount set the itemDelimiter to ":"

Re: Swiping between cards - metaphor end-of-the-road?

That's a good point. Android apps commonly uses "swipe down" to trigger a refresh. The swipe still physically happens, but there's just a gray background behind it, and it pops back into place and resets. The main problem seems to be what happens during a swipe. Part of the effect is the feedback
