[Chameleon] save polygons

Sun Jul 24 13:00:36 EDT 2005

It's not one of those things you can simply explain in a few lines. This  
will require lots of programming, probably in the form of a Chameleon  
widget. If you are unfamiliar with any of this stuff, it could be a hell  
of a job.

So:

1) learn how to create your own widget. There should be some materials  
 from the MUM 3 meeting, although I haven't seen them yet ...

2) learn how to read out the coordinates from the ROIFeatureTool

3) turn those coordinates into GML using PHP

4) study the php_ogr module (http://dl.maptools.org/dl/php_ogr/) or study  
how Geoserver (http://geoserver.sourceforge.net) works, to get the GML  
into a spatial database or convert it to a Mapinfo file  
(geoserver.sourceforge.net).

Best regards,
Bart
