See Geographic mapping the Tcl way for more details. RS: I proposed rules there that I myself didn't sctrictly follow ;-) more so in Mapping Colorado than in this midnight project, that was driven by the fact that I finally had coastline data.
Get TkWorld (a zoomable, scrollable world map on a canvas, based on data from http://dss.ucar.edu/datasets/ds780.0/ ) as TclKit (39kb) from http://www.digital-smarties.com/pub/tkworld.bin , or mailto:[email protected] for the 111KB source (single file with all data)
Vince How does one zoom? There are no controls and all the keypresses and clicks I've tried (WinTk 8.4a4) don't do anything.
RS Plus and minus keys on the keyboard (sorry, it was late ;-)
rmax offers a list of Tcl'ers with coordinates at http://www.suse.de/~max/TclersLocations , and here's a little scraper (and displayer) for that:
proc drawTclers w {
foreach guy [fetchTclers] {
foreach {name lat lon} $guy { break }
set lon2 [expr {-$lon-$lon-1.5}]
set lat2 [expr {-$lat-$lat-1.5}]
$w create oval $lon2 $lat2 [expr {$lon2+3}] [expr {$lat2+3}]\
-fill white -tag $name
}
}
proc fetchTclers {} {
set socket [socket www.suse.de 80]
puts $socket "GET /~max/TclersLocations"
puts $socket ""
flush $socket
set tclers ""
while { ![eof $socket] && [gets $socket line] != -1} {
set line [string trim $line]
if {
![string match $line "#*"] &&
[info complete $line] &&
[llength $line] == 3
} then {
lappend tclers $line
}
}
close $socket
set tclers
}but here's the list as of 2002-02-01 (feel free to add):
