The absence of Map-Sweeper Features #1475

Open nimcnaan opened 1 year ago

Hi Jack

I wanted to request the addition of a map-sweeper feature to the web GIS viewer. The map-sweeper would be a valuable enhancement that allows users to compare two different map layers side by side, facilitating visual analysis and making the viewer even more versatile.

Feature Description: The map-sweeper feature should enable users to interactively slide a horizontal bar across the map viewer- between the and the , revealing two map layers simultaneously, This allows for easy comparison between two datasets or map themes, aiding in identifying patterns, changes, and relationships between the layers.

compare between tow Arial photos or Photogrammetric background layers . This feature would greatly benefit researchers and analysts who need to compare between tow layers.

This feature will allow users to:

  1. Compare current and proposed zoning maps to assess the potential impact of new developments.
  2. Environmental researchers could analyze changes in land cover by comparing satellite imagery from different time periods.
  3. Emergency responders could overlay real-time data, such as Earthquake, on top of a base map to make informed decisions during crisis situations.

I'm enthusiastic about this feature and willing to contribute to its development. As an experienced front-end developer, I can assist with testing, and documentation to help bring this enhancement to life.

I understand the demands on your time as a project maintainer and appreciate your consideration of this request. Thank you for your dedication to maintaining the mapguide-react-layout-viewer and for fostering a collaborative open-source community.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on adding the map-sweeper feature.
