[wiki:Haiti] == Haiti GIS == bitner, gavin_t, flavour & tcarobruce coordinating in #sahana-gis dokotreas & runneals joined the team RT: haiti-dev.sahanafoundation.org and haiti-test.sahanafoundation.org === Bugs === * #87 * #91 * #109 === Documentation === The focus should be on concepts & Helpfile tweaks rather than detailed UI paths, as the UI is not final. === Map-based Lat/Lon Data entry === * Provide a function to allow selecting a location on a map to populate * Points: Lat/Lon fields * Polygons: WKT === Fix the map-based gis_location.represent === Currently this is commented out in {{{models/03_gis.py}}} Want to separate out HTML representation .represent's from Export ones (i.e. all the rest). * Plan for this in-progress === Location Entry === * Record source and associated error (related so posted under a single trac ticket [http://trac.sahanapy.org/ticket/158 158]) * Ability to record Location Data Source for all locations (GPS, Imagery Analysis, etc.) * Ability to record location estimated accuracy (meters) * GPS Conversion Tool * Accessible from /gis/location/create * Should support negative degrees! * Ideally should allow setting of N/S & E/W instead of having to remember the +/- === UI === * [http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38318992/mapping_mockup.png Homepage Mockup] * Separate out the Internal Features from External Features in !LayerSwitcher ([http://geoext.org/tutorials/layertree-tutorial.html#filtering GeoExt] skills) * {{{views/gis/map_viewing_client.html}}} +68 * Be able to Group layers in layer Tree into Folders * Provide Ext sliders to control cluster_distance & cluster_threshold interactively * http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/layeropacityslider.html * ~~Add numZoomLevels=22 (or some higher number than the default 16 so can zoom in on high res imagery better~~ === Admin UI === * Provide admin UI for feature_to_feature_group, feature_class_to_feature_group, etc * {{{controllers/gis.py}}} & {{{views/gis/...}}} * Features are stored in the table gis_location * Feature Classes are types of Feature & determine their Marker (Icon): gis_feature_class * Feature Groups are collections of Features & Feature Groups & determine whether they appear as a separate layer on the Map to be enabled/disabled: gis_feature_group * There are Many-to-Many tables linking these together (defined in {{{models/03_gis.py}}}) * There are basic Controller functions for editing these resources, however they aren't fully-exposed to users (need to type URL manually) * We want nice User interface for these & menus (menus for GIS need some wider cleanup work anyway) * 'mapping' table for feature classes - mapping web markers * Allow to reorder layers and select which base layer to start with * Explanatory text with the Views === Feeds === * Provide a feed for: * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.kml?feature_group=Port-au-Prince * Need to work on {{{controllers/gis.py +260}}} * Provide UI to access feeds: * KML feeds: * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.kml * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.kml?feature_class=Hospital * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/organisation/4/office.kml * Provide an easy way to select the Org by name * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/office.kml * GeoRSS feeds: * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.georss * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.georss?feature_class=Hospital * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/organisation/4/office.georss * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/office.georss * GPX feeds: * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.gpx * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/gis/location.gpx?feature_class=Hospital * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/organisation/4/office.gpx * http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org/prod/or/office.gpx * KML Export * Include Marker * From our own site when using Portal * From sahanafoundation.org when using an offline instance? * So have a setting flag in {{{models/00_settings.py}}} for this (or gis_config table or gis_settings table?) * bounds information - e.g. lat/lon min/max to go in the metadata. this improves display of KML when opened in the like of GE and other apps. not required, but does improve display * Polygon support (currently uses Centroid) * GeoRSS Export * Polygon support (currently uses Centroid) * GPX Export * classify types when exported to Garmin icons (e.g. hms_hospital->Medical Facility, or_office->Building) See [http://home.online.no/~sigurdhu/MapSource-text.htm ref1],[http://www8.garmin.com/cartography/mapSource/mapLegend.html ref2]. Note, recommended to use text - as auto GPS units what support bluetooth phones can recognise phone numbers and allow hands free calling * bounds information - e.g. lat/lon min/max to go in the metadata. this improves display of GPX when opened in the like of GE and other apps. not required, but does improve display * Polygon support (currently uses Centroid) * Import * GPX * Bulk Uploader needs finishing * Possibly add a feature that recognizes symbols for waypoints * GeoRSS * KML * Provide a DB field for OSM ID, and provide a link in KML fields to set/update this ID: {{{ Is there a way we can add a 'entered into osm' field in sahana that OSMers can edit as they add things to their map? I think that should go into the location table, not into the hospital table I can then export And put into the KML feed }}} === Code Cleanup === * Move GIS functions to a new {{{modules/s3gis.py}}} * DRY the gis_config parsing in {{{controlers/gis.py}}} (currently in 3 different places!) * pass a single s3.gis var through to views === IS_LOCATION Validator === Add a custom validator to {{{modules/validators.py}}} (or new {{{modules/s3gis.py}}}): {{{ IS_LOCATION() }}} * This should support the ability to select a gis_location as an admin area (i.e. we don't know the exact location, but we know the town or district) * This should be an AJAX auto-complete. * Once chosen, then the 'parent' will be set to this location * It should also support the ability to enter a precise Lat/Lon (or Polygon), in which case a function in the new {{{modules/s3gis.py}}} would calculate which admin area to set as the Parent automatically. * It should also populate the 4 hidden (readable=writable=False) bounding box fields used to speed up spatial queries === !OpenLayers === * Cluster Strategy * Handle many Vectors (IE can't handle many more than 100) * http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/strategy-cluster.html * http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Strategy/Cluster-js.html * WFS Layers * http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/wfs-reprojection.html * http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/WFS-js.html * WMS Capabilities Browser * http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/wms-capabilities.html * Unzip KMZ layers * ~~[http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.8/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/XYZ-js.html XYZ Layers]~~ * Generated JS seems OK, but layers aren't visible * XYZ layers verbatim from http://hypercube.telascience.org/haiti/uav.html work when entered as advanced JS layers * Image layers?
