According to this page from Microsoft's documentation, it's possible to set the heading of a Bing map as well as the coordinate around which it's centered and a zoom level using the method call setView(GeoCoordinate, double, double) but in practice, only the first two parameters are paid attention to and when I check the value of myMap.Heading it's still 0. I've also tried directly changing the heading (myMap.Heading=270;) and the same thing happens. Can anyone offer some assistance?
Note: Heading is supposed to be in degrees starting at 0 for north and increasing clockwise. (Source)
I found an old topic about this, but it was posted in 2011, apparently before this was implemented in WP (unless it still isn't but the documentation would suggest otherwise).
Thanks!
The Heading property is only functional in Birdseye (i.e. oblique) view, in order to specify whether you want a North, East, South, or West aspect.

I have 2 questions need your help.
I would like to add a button on each plot to be a setting button. I use label with event listener and it works well ( as shown in attached file). However, my client asked me to change from normal text to graphic icon? How should I proceed?
As you can see from the attached image, the third plot is macd series. The value rage is from -3e-8 to 3e-8 (by my observation). I manually set the maximum and minimum, and it get incorrect scale as shown.
How should I set the maximum and minimum for yScale?
I don't know how to get maximum and minimum value from a series. Can you suggest me?
A1 – Unfortunately, the current version of AnyChart doesn't provide an opportunity to add custom-made buttons inside the chart. But you can use a trick and use stage based layout. It means that the container includes a stage. The stage includes the stock chart all other elements by layers. Using this approach you can place an image (icon) upon the plot and set a listener just as for the 'settings' label.
For details, please, check the sample in the comment below.
A2 - We are planning to fix this behavior in 8.4.2 update (approximately by the end of November 2018).
I will notify you when the fix becomes available.
As a temporary workaround, you can get min /max value from your MACD indicator. For details, please, check the sample in the comment below.
You can apply min/max to the yScale of plot #0 like this:
chart.plot(0).yScale().minimum(minValue);
chart.plot(0).yScale().maximum(maxValue);
We are glad to inform you that we have released 8.4.2 update which brings many fixes and improvements. This update also includes a fix on the issue you reported. Now calculation of min/max of Y-scale works properly with small values. Update your binaries to get the fix.
Does anyone know of macro or custom command I can make to quickly annotate the area of a polyline in autocad?
I'm doing a project where I need to measure the lot and house size of several city blocks. I've got a drawing going but I don't want to measure and write out the area of each site, that will take to long. I've seen custom commands in the past that quickly do this kind of thing but I don't know how to make my own.
And I'm desperately avoiding doing it by hand one at a time as most likely I will need to make adjustments to my design later on.
The best method I can think of is to utilize the MTEXT command and use a FIELD to link the Area of the Polyline to the MTEXT box.
Type FIELD at the command line, choose Object, select your Polyline and you will see the Area property.
Here is a link on the CADTutor site that covers it a bit more in depth along with a link to a forum post that has this automated via a Lisp routine.

A few days ago I've explored geomaps and, however, it turned out to be easy to change the properties of the elements.
But I have two questions:
I'd like to add rivers and forests on the maps. So Ive considered to set a background image instead of the geomaps figure. But I can't find a way to get this one fixed. Is there a way to set a background picture for a country or region?
How can I change the shape of the "bubbles" when you select a city e.g. "London"? I'd like to change it to a square.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Unfortunately what you're looking for is not available in geocharts in their current implementation.
Using a background image is possible in the sense that you can use CSS to make all shapes in the map transparent, and use a background image in the div to make it appear as if the little circles are being drawn on a map with forest and rivers, but you will run in to two big hurdles:
Your map will need to be identical in size/layout to the Google Maps SVG
If Google ever changes the SVG they use (or the view/projection they use) you will need to edit yours too
This isn't ideal, obviously. You could work around it by creating custom javascript to write rivers and forests on your map, but that is going to be a huge headache (especially if you are using multiple maps/views).
As for the circles, you can't change them to squares without hacking the actual SVG in the background with javascript. While this is definitely possible (if you're really good with SVG/Javascript), it again isn't using any of the fancy features of geocharts, and is more just a custom solution that will have to be updated if/when google updates their API.
Rather than doing it that way, you may want to look in to the same implementation on google maps itself. That will allow you to use custom markers, draw custom shapes, etc. with a lot more flexibility (and a much more stable API).
I am really sorry to post this question, because most likely the solution will be really simple. But I am completely out of search string ideas.
I have a running Geoserver and some custom shapefiles describing buildings etc. I can requesting maps as pngs with the WMS interface and display on a website. So for so good.
In the next step I want to enable the user to specify a coordinate an draw a little marker on the map. This position should not be stored anywhere, I just want to draw it for this user. I am pretty sure this is possible with a WMS request and an inline feature, but I had not any luck finding a working solution and I am out of google search strings.
Please help me before I start drawing overlays over a png map.
You can do this with an inline feature in your SLD - See http://lyceum.massgis.state.ma.us/wiki/doku.php?id=wms:sld:inline_feature for an example.
You can let OpenLayers do the drawing on the client.
Check this example to see how it can be done. It demonstrates how to draw lines, points, and polygons:

Before you throw me out into the cold with your bold assertions that this is not programming related, please hear me out.
I'm looking for a visual metaphor (Icon) to suggest the idea of inversion of a filter. So if a user has a filter which reduces a list of 10 items to 4, I want a button that will allow the user to invert the filter to display only the other 6.
Another wrinkle is that the UI will also have a button for removing the filter nearby.
While this certainly isn't a nuts-and-bolts programming question, I think it's relevant to the process of software creation. As a developer it's relatively easy to construct the mechanisms to perform complex filters, but it's all for naught if normal users find the presentation confusing.
If an icon doesn't jump to mind for you, then there probably isn't one that will have obvious meaning to your users either. You're better off using a text label for this.
If it must be an icon, then it doesn't matter much what it is, since users won't be able to guess it any way, but at least try to make it visually distinct and memorable if not particularly intuitive. MS Access uses a funnel to represent "filtering." Maybe use an upside-down or white-on-black funnel for inversion? (An X'ed-out funnel means "don't filter").
Whatever. Like I said, it doesn't matter much.
Maybe it's not the most appropriate, but what about the logical inverter icon?
Maybe something like this: Invert Selection?
If you really need an image, I'd suggest looking at image editing programs like GIMP or Photoshop and seeing how their "invert selection" buttons look.
16x16 pixels is enough to draw two small list boxes with an arced arrow going from one to the other where the second has an inverted selection list of the first.

I think the 3 icons above could be used in one spot with each user click causing a rotation through the 3 of them. I think the above icon set offers the following benefits:
F - clearly communicates it is for a filter control.
Red and Green - clearly communicate ON and OFF action.
The line above F means inversion (I think - based on memories of boolean algebra at university - I could be wrong?)
The use of yellow while still maintaining the F, links the new action (filter inverted) to the previous filter actions let still communicates it is different to the filter simply being turned on or off.
On icon click rotation could be, (starting) Red - Green - Yellow - Red. This is a widely understood rotation pattern that the user would quickly pick-up. Therefore no need for additional filter on/off button.
Simpler solution - a user only needs to look at a single icon (even perhaps only with peripheral vision) to deduce the current state of the control.
