Change Log * * Coordinate Widget (<appdir>/widgets/Coordinate/CoordinateWidget.xml) The Coordinate widget is a simple widget that enables x,y coordinate values to appear in the Viewer UI, as the cursor moves to different locations in the map display. The coordinate values change dynamically as the cursor moves and are displayed underneath the map scalebar (default configuration). The coordinate values are based on the spatial reference of the first basemap loaded into the Viewer. This widget also displays the scale of the map in absolute format (e.g. 1:9,600). This is an Esri widget with minor enhancements. The file is defined by a <configuration> tag that identifies it as a configuration file for the Viewer. It has the following child tags: <outputunit> - The measurement unit to display; supported values are: geo (Geographic), dms (Degress, Minutes, Seconds), and mercator (Web mercator). If any other value is used, the units will not be projected. <numberformatter> - Determines the precision formatting of the displayed * * HTML Wrapper (index.html): Flex applications must be started with an html wrapper file.

This file is located in the htmltemplate folder. (The html-template folder is not under the src folder.) … * * Best Practice for Target Browser Size with the Hamilton County Flex Viewer Larry Stout July 26, 2011 Introduction As GIS professionals, we tend to have large monitors, multiple monitors, and very high screen resolutions. As I write this, I am using a laptop with a 17” display plus a second monitor with a 24” display. Both are set to a resolution of 1920 x 1200. If I could have even larger monitors, I would. When developing and/or configuring a web application it is important to understand many of your users will have smaller monitors and lower screen resolution than you do. It’s a good idea and a best practice to set your target screen resolution and test your application at that screen resolution. … * * Email Widget Larry Stout October 21, 2011 These are the concepts for adding an Email Widget to the Esri Flex Viewer. These concepts are taken from my implementation with Version 2.2 of the Esri Flex Viewer, and the details may vary for other versions of the Esri Flex Viewer. This document assumes you are comfortable editing, debugging, and compiling the source code of the Esri Flex Viewer. I implemented this using my own Email Widget. The source code for this widget is not in this document but is available separately. The Email Widget itself is pretty trivial except for the feature that includes parameters in the URL that will set the center of the map, the scale of the map, and the layer visibilities of the map. There are two parts to this feature: … Building the URL parameters to append to the Flex Viewer URL in the email Processing the URL parameters when the Flex Viewer is opened * * * * * *Enhancements (13) *Bugs (7) *Uniform Applications *Good Will *Advance the Art *Bacon *Hero Worship * * *Hard to show • Fixed • Subtle *VERY IMPORTANT! *Credibility *I hate bugs *I love bacon * * This is a great mapping tool!!
