Icons position VS zoom level
Hello everybody,
the accuracy of my icons' positions strongly depends on the zoom level. For example, an icon in the middle of Tokyo (displayed perfectly when I am "close" to it) appears in China when I set the zoom level to 1 :-)
At first I thought the icon (a .png file) was inadequate but I have the same problem no matter which icon I use.
Are there any suggestions or do I have to live with this inaccuracy?
Thanks in advance, happy to be back to this forum! (still jira, the last time that I posted)
Congratulations for the great work,
Apostolos
Indeed, it had to do with the PlaceIcon contructor. I had already used the overloaded one, as you proposed, but with wrong numerical values for the 2nd and 3d argument.
Your comment pointed to the problem anyway, thanks a lot!
I think the issue is that default icon anchor location is in the center of image. If you use "google-style" markers then it visually seems to be in the bottom-center, and you should define tit there too. To set marker to own defined location (bottom-center) use non-default PlaceIcon, something like following:
try { iconImage = Image.createImage("/mymarker.png"); } catch (IOException e) {} PlaceIcon placeIcon = new PlaceIcon(iconImage, iconImage.getWidth() / 2, iconImage.getHeight()); Place place = new Place(3, "My Place", placeMark, new WgsPoint(24.76593650384734, 59.44530921763007)); mapComponent.addPlace(place);/JaakL
