NAME

Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Overlay - A Gtk2 widget for a visual overlay of spatial data

SYNOPSIS

my $overlay = Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Overlay->new();

$overlay->my_inits();

DESCRIPTION

Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Overlay is a subclass of Gtk2::ScrolledWindow

ATTRIBUTES

public:

bg_color = ($red, $green, $blue) # a color for the background for the overlay

rubberbanding = FALSE, /line/, /rect/, /circle/

private:

image event_box zoom_factor step

METHODS

my_inits

some initializations which cannot be done automagically (for some reason unknown to me...)

add_layer($layer,$do_not_zoom_to);

adds a spatial data layer to the top of the overlay, the default behavior is to zoom to the new layer

zoom_to($layer) or zoom_to($minx,$miny,$maxx,$maxy)

sets the given bounding box as the world

zoom_to_all

sets the bounding box which bounds all layers as the world

set_event_handler($event_handler,$user_param)

sets a subroutine which gets called when something happens in the widget, the sub is called like this: $event_handler->($user_param,$event,@xy);

set_draw_on($draw_on,$user_param)

sets a subroutine which gets called whenever a new pixmap is drawn for the widget, the sub is called like this: $draw_on->($user_param,$pixmap);

visible_area

returns ($minx,$maxy,$maxx,$miny), the visible area of the world

render

does the actual rendering by calling (creating) a new Gtk2::Ex::Geo::Renderer object

zoom($w_offset,$h_offset,$pixel_width)

select a part of the world into the visible area

zoom_in($event,$center_x,$center_y)

zooms in a zoom_factor amount

zoom_out($event,$center_x,$center_y)

zooms out a zoom_factor amount

note: may enlarge the world

pan($w_move,$h_move,$event)

pans the viewport

internal handling of key and button events

+ => zoom_in - => zoom_out arrow keys => pan

the attribute rubberbanding defines what is done with button press, move and release

coordinate transforms

event_pixel2point => returns event coordinates stored in a private attribute as world coordinates

point2pixmap_pixel => returns world coordinates as pixmap pixel coordinates
