Thanks Om.
I tried that library with following code:
var mc:MercatorProjection = new MercatorProjection();
for(var i:int = 0; i < a.length; i++) // a here is array of
arrays - [ [ 151.25, -33.74 ],[ 151.25, -33.74 ] ......]
{
var ltlg:Array = a[i];
var p:Point = mc.project(ltlg[0],ltlg[1], new Point());
//p.x will always be same as lat value - 151.25 and p.y
will always be NaN
}
I looked at MercatorProjection.project() method:
override public function project(lam:Number, phi:Number, out:Point):Point
{
if (spherical) { //spherical = false
out.x = scaleFactor * lam; //scaleFactor = 1
out.y = scaleFactor * Math.log(Math.tan(MapMath.QUARTERPI +
0.5 * phi));
} else {
out.x = scaleFactor * lam;
out.y = -scaleFactor * Math.log(MapMath.tsfn(phi,
Math.sin(phi), e));
}
return out;
}
I'm not sure what Iam, phi and out parameters are. I assumed Iam is lat and
phi would be lng. out is used to return the value. I don't know why is it
an input parameter here as out itself is the return value.
Am I passing lat, lng values correctly to project() ?
