[ka-Map-users] how to use mssql database

[Samuel Hiatt]

Hey!

Welcome to ka-map!  I am a bit new myself, but I've had quite a bit of
success presenting my data with it so far.

I am building a similar interface that allows me to click on a pixel in a
raster and display information based on the value of the selected pixel.  A
couple tips on how I've done it (which is not to say that is the best, or
only way)...

1.  ka-map is just used as the interface to the data... after a pixel is
clicked a server-side python script will generate a plot (mine's a
timeseries, too) that is displayed afterwards in the ka-map interface.

2. I altered map_query_float.php to display my custom data returned from the
query.  There was actually some code commented out already in that file
which, after uncommented, displayed a table of the variables returned from
the query.  Look for the following code so you can see where to add your
modifications:

                        echo "<tr>";
                        foreach ($aKeys as $key) {
                            echo "<th>$key</th>";
                        }
                        echo "<tr>";

then later...

                        foreach ($aValues as $value) {
                            if ($value)
                                echo "<td>$value</td>";
                            else
                                echo "<td>&nbsp;</td>";
                        }
                        echo "</tr>";

Take a look at that to see what it can do for you.  I added some code that
displayed an image based on the value of one of those variables.

3.  I've found a python library that makes it incredibly easy to create
graphs on-demand.  Take a look at the python matplotlib library.  It should
be extremely easy to use especially if you are familiar with matlab.  There
might be a similar php library out there that does the same thing, but I
found python to be helpful since it is already processing my data and has an
interface to my MySQL database from which it grabs the data to be plotted.

I hope I made some sense.  Let me know if I can be of any more help.
