Coordinates Utility

Coordinates Utility allows two different coordinate operations:

  1. Zoom to a given point coordinate

  2. Show the clicked point of the map

Both functions can be accessed with one user interface:

Both cases allow a dynamic coordinate transformation. Simply insert and transform coordinates from other systems.

Configuration

../../../_images/coordinate_utility_configuration1.png

  • Title: Title of the element.

  • SRS List: You can define additional SRS to which the tool has to transform the coordinates. This list can be left empty.

  • Zoom level: Zoom level of the map (default: 6)

  • Add map’s srs list: If checked, the supported coordinate systems defined in the Map will automatically be used by this element and the SRS Selector (default: true).

If you define Coordinates Utility as a dialog, you need a Button that you place in the Toolbar.

Using the tool

Get Coordinate

  • If Coordinates Utility is opened as a dialog, the map reacts on a click. Click into the map and the click-coordinate is displayed in the dialog.

  • Change the coordinate system with the dropdown-list. The click-coordinate is displayed in the given coordinate system.

  • The last line therefore shows the click-coordinate in the original coordinate system of the map.

  • The button at the end of each text-field allows to copy the coordinate directly into the clipboard.

  • If Coordinates Utility is opened via the Sidepane, the button Coordinate search will appear that allows switching between a pan-cursor and a coordinate-cursor.

Zoom to coordinate

  • The text field can be used to edit your own coordinates. They must be given in the coordinate system that is chosen in the upper dropdown-list.

  • With a click on the Center map button, the map zooms to the given coordinate and shows the position with an orange symbol.

YAML-Definition

This template can be used to insert the element into a YAML application.
