I'd like to announce the availability of an OpenLayers [1] Map View extension for Exhibit. Based in large part on the existing Google Maps View extension, it currently replicates most of the GM functionality. The settings are nearly the same, differences detailed below. To make use of it in your Exhibit, add "?service=openlayers" to the map-extension.js URL in the appropriate script tag and set the ex:viewClass to "OLMap".
There are plans for expansion in the near future, but for now please let me know if you have any questions, observations, or bug reports on this basic implementation. You can see it in action here: http://trunk.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/examples/presidents/presidents-openlayers.html = Settings = All of the settings listed for the Map View [2] can be used with the OpenLayers extension except: - ex:size (there are no different sizes for map controls available) - ex:type (there are no predefined tilesets for maps; currently included are an unlabelled geopolitical boundary map and a satellite imagery map) Not all of the settings have been tested. Please let me know if you run into any problems. 1. http://openlayers.org/ 2. http://simile.mit.edu/wiki/Exhibit/2.0/Map_View --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
