Correct way to handle G*M*OR----****X #103

Closed mg629 closed 4 years ago

mg629 commented 4 years ago

It comes with a single point.

I tried to get the kml and it gave me a blue circle with question mark http://{host}/mil-sym-service/renderer/kml/GFM*OR----****X?id=Box1&name=Box1&lon=-96.464&lat=30.671&Size=15

Is this correct or should I be putting a bounding box around this type of graphic?

The above is how you generate a KML placemark for a single point image. Not what you'd want to do for a multipoint tactical graphic. See below for getting KML for a multipoint symbol.

Thank you. So this graphic should actually have multiple points normally?

If I create a bounding box around this single point (some radius), I can get a geoJson for this graphic also right?

michael-spinelli commented 4 years ago

oh, my mistake. I'm not seeing a G M OR----***X in the 2525C milstd. When I did a search I found G M * ORP which requires 3 points. Are you using the correct symbol code?

The format parameter will let you get KML or GeoJSON back.

mg629 commented 4 years ago

No you were right. This symbol needs 3 points. My mistake.

G M OR -- -- X ROADBLOCKS, CRATERS, AND BLOWN BRIDGES

  1. Anchor Points. This graphic requires three anchor points. Points 1 and 2 define the endpoints of the graphic, and point 3 defines the location of one side of the graphic.
