[georss] Worldkit georss support

[Mikel Maron]

Hi Jeroen

There was a small bug in handling "box", which has been fixed in the latest version. (v3.0-11052006)
You can pick that up at http://worldkit.org/download/latest/worldkit.swf

Took a look at the feeds from your catalog, and noticed two potential issues. First, there are items with bounding boxes
that cover the entire world extent -- this will create an annotation area covering the whole map. Second there's several
catalog items covering the same region. At present worldKit does not disambiguate items that cover the same point
-- only the most recently plotted item will be viewable. This is a known issue and a fix is scheduled in our bug tracker.

Also, you may want to set <fillalpha> to some value like "30", so that the area beneath a box annotation is viewable.

That all being said, if you have any suggestions on the presentation of box geometries, please let me know. And let me
know if I can assist further.

Mikel

Hi Mikel,
I would love to embed your viewer as a quick lookup option in our  
catalog, but although I get the example to work properly, I do not  
get it to work with my georss feeds. Can you have a look if I miss  
something or if something is incorrect in the georss's as we provide  
them?

This is the configuration as I used it:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<worldkitconf>
    <width>800</width>
    <height>400</height>
    <displaytype>daynight</displaytype>
    <dayimg>day.jpg</dayimg>
    <nightimg>night.jpg</nightimg>
<!--    <dataurl>rss.xml</dataurl> -->
        <dataurl>http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/rss.latest? 
georss=gml</dataurl>
    <update>0</update>
    <showonlynew>false</showonlynew>
    <plotshape>circle</plotshape>
    <!--
    <updateurl>http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/rss.latest? 
georss=GML</updateurl>
    <locfield>any</locfield> -->
</worldkitconf>


These are our georss URLs:
http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/rss.latest?georss=gml
http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/rss.latest?georss=simple

Displaying the latest updates to our records (also accessible as RSS  
when no georss parameter is provided) in our catalog: http:// 
www.fao.org/geonetwork

Thanks in advance,
Jeroen
