Eric,
The transform function indeed seemed to work. My Point now is listed in
decimal lat/lon. I though that would solve my problem but it looks like
something else is not working. When I use that new transformed Point to add
an icon to the map, the icon gets added to the 0,0 location regardless of
that the Point's lat/long value is. It seems like the internal API code is
having problems dealing with the transformed value and doesn't know how to
place it on the map using a lat/lon, so it simply places it at 0,0.
-------------------------------
var lonlat = map.getLonLatFromViewPortPx(e.xy);
var point = new OpenLayers.Geometry.Point(lonlat.lon, lonlat.lat);
point.transform(
new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"),
new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326")
);
var iconSize = new OpenLayers.Size(16, 16);
var iconURL = MY_ICON;
var iconOffset = new OpenLayers.Pixel(8,8);
var marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(
new OpenLayers.LonLat(point.x, point.y),
new OpenLayers.Icon(iconURL,iconSize,iconOffset));
getMarkersLayer().addMarker(marker);
--------------------------------
The same also happens if I created a OpenLayers.Feature.Vector type of
point.
So, while the transform function allowed me to get the location as a decimal
lat/lon, it doesn't appear that I can use that value to add a map icon to
that location. Is there some additional transformation that needs to occur.
It would seem that this would be a common thing to do.
Any new thoughts as to what I am missing?
Thanks as always - Peter
