Hi Chris -
Actually, if you had checked the source first you would have seen this
isn't currently possible with 4.6.3. :-)
Don, if this addition seems kosher to you, can you add the method below
to the CoordMouseMode.java for a future release? It will allow people to
customize the decimal places of the lat/lon. You can either set:
coordMouseMode.coordFormat=0.####
or customize it for each CoordMouseMode derived class such as the
NavMouseMode by doing:
navMouseMode.coordFormat=0.#####
The nice thing is that it follows the DecimalFormat format rules so
there is a lot of flexibility. It could be even more flexible if OpenMap
were to require Java 1.5 and you used the Formatter class and used
sprintf like syntax. :-)
public void setProperties(String prefix, Properties props)
{
super.setProperties(prefix, props);
String value = props.getProperty("coordMouseMode.coordFormat",
"0.###");
String modeSpecificValue = props.getProperty(prefix +
"coordFormat");
if (modeSpecificValue != null && modeSpecificValue.length() > 0)
{
value = modeSpecificValue;
}
df = new DecimalFormat(value);
}
I patched my local 4.6.3 source and produced a new openmap.jar. Of
course, if there's an easier way, I'd be interested in knowing the
solution.
Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [OpenMap Users] Setting resolution for lat,lon display
Hi all -
Is there a configurable way to change the resolution of the lat/lon
values displayed by the information delegator? We'd like to have more
decimal places than is currently displayed.
Thanks,
Chris
