[Chameleon] Visualize selected/queried layer

Hilbert,
then you should study in general how Chameleon widgets operate. I can't go and explain all that in an e-mail. There is a tutorial out there from DMSG.
Basically, this kind of code should go into the ParseURL function of the respective widgets (to which you want to add this kind of functionality). Btw I am assuming you are not using Chameleon's JSAPI mode.
Best regards,
Bart

Hi Bart,
Can you point me into the right direction please? Otherwise I will keep on struggling with the code you provided. Where do I have to put the code? What do I have to change, etc.?
Kinds regards,
Hilbert

Thank you Bart, I will give this piece of code a try. Hope I will be able to promote it to be the solution...
Kind regards,
Hilbert

What's even easier than using SLD (SLD will work mainly for WMS layers) would be just copying your layer with Mapscript, changing the symbology to a selection color, and setting the filteritem and filter. Here's some example code for that:
$oMap = $oMapSession->oMap;
// if selection layer exists, delete it first
for ( $i=0; $i<$oMap->numlayers; $i++ )
{
$oTempLayer = $oMap->getlayer($i);
if ( $oTempLayer->name == 'StraGISWebSelection' )
{
$oTempLayer->set( 'status', MS_DELETE );
break;
}
}
$szLayerName = "";
if (isset($HTTP_FORM_VARS["LAYER_NAME"]))
$szLayerName = $HTTP_FORM_VARS["LAYER_NAME"];
$szFilter = "";
if (isset($HTTP_FORM_VARS["LAYER_FILTER"]))
$szFilter = $HTTP_FORM_VARS["LAYER_FILTER"];
$szSelectionColor = "";
if (isset($HTTP_FORM_VARS["SELECTION_COLOR"]))
$szSelectionColor = $HTTP_FORM_VARS["SELECTION_COLOR"];
$arSelectionColor = explode(",", $szSelectionColor);
$szSelectionWidth = "";
if (isset($HTTP_FORM_VARS["SELECTION_WIDTH"]))
$szSelectionWidth = $HTTP_FORM_VARS["SELECTION_WIDTH"];
for ($i=0; $i<$oMap->numlayers; $i++)
{
$oLayer = $oMapSession->oMap->GetLayer($i);
if ($oLayer->name == $szLayerName)
{
// copy layer
$oSelectionLayer = ms_newLayerObj( $oMap, $oLayer );
// move selection layer to top!
while ($oMap->moveLayerDown($oSelectionLayer->index) != 0)
{
;
}
$oSelectionLayer->set( 'name', 'StraGISWebSelection' );
$oSelectionLayer->set( 'template', '' );
if ($oSelectionLayer->connectiontype == MS_POSTGIS)
{
// BEN, 13-09-2005, for PostGIS, filter item does not work
$oSelectionLayer->setFilter($oSelectionLayer->filteritem.'='.$szFilter);
}
else
{
$oSelectionLayer->setFilter($szFilter);
}
// set color to selection color
for( $j=0; $j < $oSelectionLayer->numclasses; $j++)
{
$oClass = $oSelectionLayer->getClass($j);
for ($k=0;$k<$oClass->numstyles;$k++)
{
if ($oSelectionLayer->type == MS_LAYER_POLYGON)
{
$oClass->deletestyle($k);
}
else
{
$oStyle = $oClass->getStyle($k);
$oStyle->color->setRGB( $arSelectionColor[0], $arSelectionColor[1], $arSelectionColor[2] );
$oStyle->outlinecolor->setRGB( 0,0,0 );
}
}
if ($oSelectionLayer->type == MS_LAYER_POLYGON)
{
// add a new style
$oStyle = ms_newStyleObj( $oClass );
$oStyle->set("symbolname", "circle");
$oStyle->set("size", $szSelectionWidth);
$oStyle->outlinecolor->setRGB( $arSelectionColor[0], $arSelectionColor[1], $arSelectionColor[2] );
}
}
$oSelectionLayer->set( 'status', MS_ON );
}
}

Hi Bart,
I don't have any experience with SLD, and though you mentioned the ExpressionBuilder widget as a reference, I can't find any example code. You know where exactly I can find some introductory code into the use of SLD for those purposes?
Kind regards,
Hilbert

Hilbert,
you can do this with SLD, it will require some programming though and a map refresh each time, you can look at the ExpressionBuilder widget for example code.
Best regardas,
Bart

Hi list,
I want to have certain functionality in my Chameleon application, but I'm wondering if it's possible. Maybe someone can tell me to stop trying to implement it or give me a way to do it.
I have a polygon layer in my mapfile. Using the query widget the user is able to query this layer. But now I want to visualize the polygonfeature the user has queried, so after he has clicked he still can see to which polygon the query results apply. For example by another outline of this polygon or another color. It would be great if this is possible.
Same thing I want to implement for te QuickZoom widget. From this widget the user is able to zoom to a polygon. It is possible then to show the user which is the polygon he zoomed at, instead of the fact that he has to assume its the polygon in the center of the map?
Kind regards,
Hilbert Davelaar
