Highlighting or Bolding the Borders of a kml Polygon - kml

Hey after loading a kml file to google earth I was trying to have when a user clicks a certain polygon from the kml, to have that polygon highlighted.
So far I can record the click event, get the event type (KmlPlacemark) and grab its kml markup.
I tried doing something similar to this example where they add a placemark to the getFeatures of the kmlObject but both target and type don't seem to have 'getFeatures'. After looking around the documentation I think I might either want setOutline from Kml Polystyle class or setWidth() from KmlLineStyle class but am not sure. Also when I try something like target.setOutline(true); it doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me if I'm on the right track, hints to what I'm doing wrong, and if there's a better way to do this?
function recordEvent(event) {
var target = event.getTarget();
var type = target.getType();
if(type == "KmlPolygon") {
alert("KMLPolygon ");
}else if(type == "KmlPlacemark") {
// // get the data you want from the target.
var description = target.getDescription();
var balloon = target.getBalloonHtml();
var outputKml = target.getKml();
if ('getFeatures' in event) {
console.log("test");
event.getFeatures().appendChild(placemark);
}
console.log("hello?")
// target.setOutline(true);
console.log(outputKml);
}
};
google.earth.addEventListener(ge.getGlobe(), 'click', recordEvent);
Thanks!

I find the best way to do what you are asking is to:
Detect click events like you currently do
If clicked, create a new Style, then assign it to the target
var newStyle = ge.createStyle('');
// Assign your Style's attributes such as LabelStyle and IconStyle
// eg to set the scale of your label
newStyle.getLabelStyle().setScale(2.5);
// Set the Style
target.setStyleSelector(newStyle);

How to get position of clicked icon on cesium map

I am trying to draw circles around an icon that is selected via clicking. My current code is:
this.handler.setInputAction(function(click) {
var pickedObjects = viewer.scene.drillPick(click.Position);
if(Cesium.defined(pickedObjects)) {
if(pickedObjects.length >=1)
{
var cartesian = thisRef.viewer.camera.pickEllipsoid(click.position, thisRef.viewer.scene.globe.ellipsoid);
thisRef.drawCircle(cartesian);
}
}
}, Cesium.ScreenSpaceEventType.LEFT_CLICK;
};
If the user is zoomed out quite far, the position won't be accurate. It needs to be based on the selected object, not the users click. However I can't figure out how to do this. I have pickedObjects, but I can't figure out how to get their position from those objects. It doesn't seem to be an entity (even though I think the icon was an entity when it was being created) and so I can't use entity.position. Thank you for your help.
To be able to access the standard Cesium entity, it turns out, you must go in the drillPick objects id. So I modified my code to get the first object in the list of objects and get the id from that, and now I can call the member position of a standard entity.
this.handler.setInputAction(function(click) {
var pickedObjects = viewer.scene.drillPick(click.Position);
if(Cesium.defined(pickedObjects)) {
if(pickedObjects.length >=1)
{
var entity = pickedObjects[0].id;
thisRef.drawCircle(entity.position);
}
}
}, Cesium.ScreenSpaceEventType.LEFT_CLICK;
};

Select and manipulate particular paths within a path group fabric.js

I am making an app that involves shapes like cylinders and boxes, and need to be able to do this with fabric.js. I know about three.js but for my purposes, it must be in 2D.
Initially I thought I would just create them in 3D software and render images which can then be added to the canvas, which I did successfully...
However, I have run into a hurdle where fabric only allows patterns to be filled onto paths or objects (rect, circle etc.)....not images (png).
Since I absolutely need patterns, I now need to create these cylinders in SVG. I have gotten as far as making the cylinders in Illustrator, saving them as SVG's and then using them on the canvas, then adding fill patterns on them. So far so good.
Now I want to be able to fill a different pattern for the top of the cylinder, and a different pattern to the side BUT still have it as one object.
So...How can I select and manipulate particular paths within a path group? Is there anyway to give each path within the group a custom attribute (eg. name) which I can then target? Do I need to create two seperate SVG files and then add them seperately, and if so, how can I do this and still have it as one object?
Here's how I am adding the svg to the canvas...
fabric.loadSVGFromURL("/shapes/50-250R.png", function(objects) {
var oImg = fabric.util.groupSVGElements(objects);
oImg.perPixelTargetFind = true;
oImg.targetFindTolerance = 4;
oImg.componentType = "Shape";
oImg.lockUniScaling = true;
oImg.lockScalingX = true;
oImg.lockScalingY = true;
oImg.setControlsVisibility({'tl': false, 'tr': false, 'bl': false, 'br': false});
canvas.add(oImg);
canvas.renderAll();
});
Here is how I am adding the pattern...
var textureIMG = new Image;
textureIMG.crossOrigin = "anonymous";
textureIMG.src = texture.image;
obj.setFill(); //For some reason, the fill doesn't happen without this line.
var pattern = new fabric.Pattern({
source: textureIMG,
repeat: 'repeat'
});
if (obj instanceof fabric.PathGroup) {
obj.getObjects().forEach(function(o) {
o.setFill(pattern);
});
} else {
obj.setFill(pattern);
}
canvas.renderAll();
Thanks in advance.
So I managed to figure this out. Each path within the path group is stored in the 'paths' array of the object.
I can now add a pattern to the top of the cylinder using...
var obj = canvas.getActiveObject();
obj.paths[0].fill = patternOne;
and to the sides using...
obj.paths[1].fill = patternTwo;

How to add an absolute element in a NativeScript page

I want to be able to just place a View component (plugin) into the page through code and have it appear at some X\Y on the page... but I'm a bit stumped.
Any attempt to add via page.content kinda adds it to the layout\render pass so it occupies space.
So this would get injected into "any" page at "any" time, I have no control over the markup this would be used in (know what I mean?) There is no XML for it and unfortunately the answer can't just be wrap everything in an AbsoluteLayout because one can't mandate that on users apps\layouts.
Thoughts, even possible?
Basically the simplest way to do this is to dynamically and be fully cross platform compatible is to create a AbsoluteLayout item in your JavaScript code, and dynamically insert your item and the AL into the page container.
Code would be something like this:
var AbsoluteLayout = require('ui/layouts/absolute-layout').AbsoluteLayout;
var myAL = new AbsoluteLayout();
var myItem = new myPluginItem();
// Set you left, right, top, bottom coords.
myItem.top = x;
// Add our item to the AbsoluteItem
myAL.addChild(myItem);
var frame = require('ui/frame');
var page = frame.topmost().currentPage;
var LayoutBase = require('ui/layouts/layout-base').LayoutBase;
page._eachChildView(function(view) {
if (view instanceof LayoutBase) {
view.addChild(myAL);
return false;
}
return true;
});
However, if you don't want to do this the really simple way; the only other way is to actually go a bit lower level. You can natively access the iOS view controller (page._ios.view) and the android view (page._nativeView), and then manually add it to the view by using things like addView (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/ViewManager.html) or addSubview (https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIView_Class/).
I would like to add you can set the Top and Left properties in TypeScript by importing AbsoluteLayout like so
import {AbsoluteLayout} from 'ui/layouts/absolute-layout';
and then using the exposed functions setLeft or setTop
AbsoluteLayout.setLeft(YourItem, LeftValue);
or
AbsoluteLayout.setTop(YourItem, TopValue);

Adding section icons and changing background color in dynamics CRM

I need to give an icon to each section in my entities. For example, I need to give an icon to General information, another one for interactions section.
Is there an idea about how could I do that? and how can I make a background color for each section please?
Thanks in advance,
There is no way to assign icons to sections. The best you could do would be to add a web resource to each of your sections and have them link to an image, but it doesn't really sound like that's what you're going for.
There are no supported ways to modify the form background color. If you don't care about remaining supported, though, you can use jQuery to do it. Put this function into your form script:
function changeSectionBackgroundColor(sectionId, color) {
parent.$("table.ms-crm-FormSection[name='"+sectionId+"']").css({"background-color": color});
}
and use it like this:
changeSectionBackgroundColor("General_Section_2", "red");
changeSectionBackgroundColor("General_Section_2", "#ababab");
You could try to do something like this to insert the Section images:
var stackoverflow = (function (Xrm)
{
var sectionBarClassName = '.ms-crm-Form-SectionBar'; // name of the CSS class given to the Section's Label's <td> element
function GetSection(tabName, sectionName)
{
var parentTab = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.getByName(tabName); // get the tab
var section = parentTab.sections.getByName(sectionName); // get the section
return section;
}
function AddSectionImage(tabName, sectionName, imageUrl)
{
var section = GetSection(tabName, sectionName); // retrieve section using Xrm
var elSection = document.querySelector('table[name=' + section.getKey() + ']');
var elSectionHeader = elSection.querySelector('tr:first-child');
var elTitles = elSection.querySelectorAll(sectionBarClassName);
if (elTitles.length === 1) // we can assume that this section has a title
{
var elImg = document.createElement('img');
elImg.src = imageUrl;
elTitles[0].insertBefore(elImg, elTitles[0].firstChild);
}
}
return {
AddSectionImage : AddSectionImage
};
})(Xrm);
You then call this code and pass in the Name (not label) of the tab and section as well as the relative URL of the image you want displayed. Like so:
stackoverflow.AddSectionImage('tab_5', 'tab_5_section_1', '/imgs/Cancel_16.png');
I've only tested this code in CRM 2016 (online). And the image is a bit rough. You'll need to take care of the styling (inline) and the size yourself.
This is of course, unsupported by Microsoft :)

How to use Maki svg icons with Snap.svg?

I'm experimenting with Snap in order to use svg and need to be able to use the Maki icons defined in https://github.com/mapbox/maki.
My plan is to load the svg's I need, and then instantiate them for particular icons on a piece of Snap paper. But in order for this to work, I need to place the icon at a particular place on the paper, but I can't get translation to work. Neither one of the translation techniques below works; the code works as is, but always places the icon at the top left.
What am I missing? There's not enough documentation on Snap, and I don't know if the problem is with the way the Maki icon svg is defined, or my use of Snap.
var icon = Snap.load("maki/bicycle-24.svg", function(f) {
var g = f.select("g").clone();
// var g = f.select("#layer1").clone(); // also works
// g.transform("t120,120");
// var t = new Snap.Matrix();
// t.translate(120,120);
// g.transform(t);
paper.append(g);
});
The cloning needs to happen after the append, as when loading an svg in Snap its just a fragment.
So you will need to do something like...
paper.append(f);
var element = paper.select('#someId').clone();
element.transform( myTransform );
Thank you! That did the trick! And since Snap is so poorly documented, I'm going to insert the code here that allows a general solution.
// Base set from which markers are constructed
var iconSet = paper.group();
iconSet.attr({ class: 'hide' });
// Instantiations of icons
var markers = paper.g();
// Now, create SVG shape
var icon = Snap.load("maki/bicycle-24.svg", function(icon) {
// Add it to the icon set
iconSet.append(icon);
// Instantiate it and remove from main view
var element = paper.select('#svg4460'); // Copies it!
// var element = paper.select('#base'); // Selects something but doesn't work
// var element = paper.select('#layer1'); // Selects something but doesn't work
// var element = paper.select('#bicycle-24'); // Silent fail
element = element.clone();
element.remove();
// Clone this icon and move it
var t = new Snap.Matrix();
t.translate(10,120);
element.transform(t);
// Insert into main document view (markers)
markers.add(element);
});
