sure you can do that.
but answer these.
1.is your town visible on googleearth?
2.are you using visual c++?.
3.if yes, are you aware of device context and drawing routines? like moveto and line to.
if you can answer these, then i can help you out how to achieve your task.
FYI: i have worked on the same.

cool,
now take a sample of longitude and latitude.
for example, 78d32m24.88s 17d33m24.21s
now convert these into intregers like
78*60*60*100+32*60*100+24*100+21
--------------------
on the other side,
now your aim is to draw your town map on your screen right?
now you should try to get the digital data related to your town.
this can be obtained in several ways. we will decide which would be easier for you at your circumstances.
first go to google earth and note the longitude and latitudes of the bounding rectangle of your town.
ootherwise you assume them approximately.
let me know them and we shall proceed further
if any doubt in what i tried to explain, please be comfortable.
ans also let me know how much time you have with you. i mean dead line?

ok hope u had a great lunch...
here is my latitude and longitude from google earth.
25d16min16.10secN and 55d18mi26.95secE
so when i convert it into integers
25*60*60*100+16*60+100+16*100+10= 9097610
55*60*60*100+18*60*100+26*100+95= 19910695
my deadline is on july second week.

fine then.
could u not find the bounding rectangle of your town.
to find it, just draw a virtual rectangle around ur town in GE (ggl erth)
take the longi and lati of the top left corner of the rect and bottom right corner of the rect.
parallelly, experiment drawing a rectangle(0,0,700,700) on your screen and lines 0,0 to 100,100 to 100,150 to 150,200. if you are stuck up, let me know i shall help u.

25d11m32.57sec & 55d24m17.68sec

can you convert these into integers for me please.
make it quick.
25d17m28.90sc & 55d18m31.07sec

9104890 and 19911100.7
9069257 and 19945768

plz verify them that .7 is not supposed to come.
and also write a function which will convert ge format to int(pix) format.

sorry the value is 19911107.
function to convert ge format? u mean radian to degree format?
if so then ok. done
|
|
|
|
|
|
no man,
some function like
int ConvertGratitoPix(int d,int m,int s,int sf)
{
return d*60*60*100+m*60*100+s*100+sf;
}
here graticule in general means latitude and/or longitude.
pix refers to an integer.

so, your towns bounds are as follows.
top-9104890 and left-19911107
bottom-9069257 and right-19945768
now, the width of your town is
19945768-19911107=34661
and height is
9069257-9104890 =-35633
temporarily we will ignore the - sign for height. theresult would be reversed display of the map. we will correct at the end.
finally,
width=34661
and
height=35633
did you understand till here.
if so i shall proceed further otherwise ask ur doubt.
be quick.

good.
now
width=34661
and
height=35633
it is evident that, if we draw the abovepattern, it will be a rectangle, not a square.for our convinience we want to make it a square.
so out of width and height, which is more?
obviously height.
so we will subtract
height-width=35633-34661
=972.
means width is 972 units less than height.
so if we adjust 972/2 units to the left and 972/2 units to the right of our original rectangle, then it would become a square.
now, i want you to explain those caluculations for me.
do it fast.

ok so wht i understand is the scaling of image inorder to fit it as square.. in programming it is mapping..
|
|
|
|
|
perfect
so can you caluculate the left,top,right and bottom of your town in terms of pix data such that it will be a square?
be fast.
ive got to leave for the day.
