Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

A form for showing a bitmap with defined bounds and a point with the current location within these bounds. The contructor of this class expects the name of the maps file with definition of the bitmap and bounds of the map. The map file consists of lines, one line for one map defintion. Format of each line according to the constructor of Maps.

Example

The following example maps file example.maps:

11d59m05.60sE 49d33m16.05sN 12d00m36.03sE 49d32m21.97sN sbach.bmp
6d37m44.00sE 43d16m26.95sN 6d39m10.66sE 43d15m29.04sN sttropez.jpg

defines two map entries, one in the bitmap file sbach.bmp with the boundaries:

• Left upper corner of the file sbach.bmp: 11 degreee 59 minutes 5.6 seconds East, 49 degree 33 minutes 16.05 seconds North.
• Right bottom corner of the bitmap file: 12 degree 0 minutes 36.03 seconds East, 49 degree 32 minutes 21.97 seconds North.

and the second map in the file sttropez.jpg with the boundaries

• Left upper cordner of the file sttropez.jpg: 6 degree 37 minuzes 44 seconds East, 43 degree 16 minutes 26.95 seconds North.
• Right bottom corner of the file sttropez.jpg: 6 degree 39 minutes 10.66 seconds East, 43 degree 15 minutes 29.04 seconds North.

The coordinates may be defined according to Utils.coord2dec(). Any bitmap format accepted by System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawBitmap is allowed. The name of the bitmap file may be either an absolute or relative path. Relative paths are automatically prepended by the path of the executing assembly. Example code:

[C#]
using serial;
public void showLocation() {
  BndMapForm f;
  MapPoint   pt;
  pt = new MapPoint("6d37m00.00sE", "43d16m00.00sN");
  f = new BndMapForm("example.maps");
  f.setPoint(pt);
  f.Show();
}

will start the form with the bitmap sttropez.jpg and with thick black point drawn somewhere in the middle of this bitmap. You'll have probably to scroll the bitmap a little bid to the bottom and right in order to see the point.

Requirements

Namespace: serial

Assembly: sgps (in sgps.exe)
