  1. Geographical Information on the web Geographical Web Aplication Launch in T-minus 4!

  2. GO no go for launch! • JavaScript • Variables • If / else / while / functions • AJAX & Callbacks • Geographical Data Types • Points, lines, polylines, areas • Geographical Projections • Web Visualization Components • Google Maps Api V3 • OpenLayers

  3. DOM • Document Object Model (DOM) is cross-platform standard to represent and modeling objects. • HTML, XHTML, XML are examples of languages based in DOM • Elements are as objects of a tree • HTML DOM: • It defines HTML elements as objects • Each HTML element has it own properties • There are events for all HTML elements

  4. DOM • HTML DOM tree modeling example • <html> • <head> • <title>Page Title</title> • </head> • <body> • <h1>Hello World</h1> • <p>Content of a paragraph</p> • </body> • </html>

  5. DOM & Javascript • Javascript is client-side web programing language. • Almost all nowadays browsers have implemented Javascript • HTML DOM tree object are easily manipulated by Javascript. • Javascript can control HTML elements’ properties and set listeners to its events. That makes your web pages dynamic and improving the user interface response.

  6. Javascript • Variables are containers • Javascript can control html content var x =4; x = x +5; var y ="helloworld"; <html> <pid="demo"></p> </html> <script> • var y ="helloworld"; document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML= y; </script> innerHTML method sets HTML content to an element. In this case, the paragraph id demo is ‘filling’ with the y variable (hello world)

  7. Javascript • Basic Data Types • // Integer • varx =10; • // Decimal • vary =3.14; • // String • vars ="HelloWorld"; • // Arrays of anything • var z = ["Monday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Saturday", "Saturday", "Saturday","Sunday"]; • // JSON (usefulobject data structure) • varu = { 'day1': {"name": "Monday" , "description": "Firstday of week"} }

  8. Javascript • AssociativeArray • // AssociativeArray • varmyArray= {key1: "value1", key2: "value2"}; • // 2 differentswaystoget a value • varpointer =myArray['key2']; // object[string] • varpointer2 = myArray.key1; // object.key • // Samegoes in assignment • myArray['key3'] ="value3"; • myArray.key4 ="value4";

  9. Javascript • Operation • //Numbers • varx =5, y =4.5; • // Arithmeticoperations • varz =x+y; z = x–y; z = x/y; z = x*y; z =x%y; • //Strings • vars ="not a number "; • varp = "Im "; • //Concatenation • vark = p + s; // “Imnot a number ” • //MixedConcatenation • varmixed= k + x; // “Imnot a number 5”

  10. Javascript • if / elsestatement • whilestatement --ok itsjustwhat are youthinking… • forstatement • if(x == y) {...} //Condition is true • else {...} //Condition is false • // Variables can be NaN (Not a Number) typical conversion problem between text and number, • It happens a lot!!!! • if(!isNaN(x)){...} • for(var i=0; i<10; i++){ • myArray[i] // remember in AssociativeArrays, keys are strings. • ... • }

  11. Javascript Associative Arrays have a different for implementation This saved my life a lot of times… • for(varkeyinmyArray){ • if(myArray.hasOwnProperty(key)){ • // do somethingwithmyArray[key] • } • }

  12. Javascript Functions • functionsum(x,y){ • returnx+y; • } • varz = sum(4,5); • varmysum= sum; //pointer to sum function • z =mysum(z,sum(mysum(4,5))); // its not illegal! • sum=function(x,y){ returnx+y+x; }; // yes, we ruin the sum function • // A function name its just a variable which points to a function.

  13. Javascript • Callbacks • Callback are functions associated to specific states of others functions (i.e. errors, success, etc) • functionplotdata(data){ /* code to plot */ } • functionshowerror(msg){ /*code to show error*/ } • functioncheckdata(data, callback, error){ • if(...) { //verifying data is OK • callback(data); • }else{ • error("Please fix your data"); • } • } • vardataset = [0,2,4,2,6,74,3,5,7,4,3]; • checkdata(dataset,plotdata,showerror); Note that you can pass functions as parameters in Javascript. In this case, parameters callback and error are functions!

  14. Example 1 basicinteractivity Getting the element of the document • <script> • functionkk(){ • n = document.getElementById('name').value; • document.getElementById('hola').innerHTML= "Hello "+n; • } • </script> • <body> • <h2> Type in yourname and thenpressthebutton <br> • <input type="text" value="" id="name"/> • <input type="button" value="click" OnClick="kk()"/><br> • </h2> • <h1 id="hola"> hola</h1> • </body> • Shows what is written in the text field when button is pressed Changing its value Specifying what to call when a click event occurs on element

  15. Example 2: recognizingwhichbuttonwaspressed • <script> • functionkk(i){ • n = document.getElementById('name').value; • document.getElementById('hola').innerHTML= "Hello "+n+", youpressedbutton "+i; • i++; • } • </script> • <body> • <h2> Type in yourname and thenpressanybutton <br> • <input type="text" value="" id="name"/><br> • <input type="button1" value="Button 1" OnClick="kk(1)"/> • <input type="button2" value="Button 2" OnClick="kk(2)"/><br></h2> • <h1 id="hola"> hola</h1> • </body> • Shows what is written in the text field when button is pressed Specifying a parameter Giving value to parameter

  16. Example 3: using a canvas and interacting • <canvasstyle="top:0;left:0; background-color:#580" id="can" width="500" height="250" > </canvas> • <h1 id="hola"> hola</h1> • <script> • varcanvas = document.getElementById('can'); • varcontext = canvas.getContext('2d'); • functiondraw(event) { • var h = document.getElementById('hola').innerHTML= '('+event.pageX+','+event.pageY+')'; • context.beginPath(); • context.arc(event.pageX,event.pageY,40,0,2*Math.PI); • context.stroke(); • } • // click, mousedown, mouseup, click, dblclick, select, keydown, beforeinput, input, keyup • canvas.addEventListener('click',draw,false); • </script> • Shows what is written in the text field when button is pressed Specifying a canvas Getting the element and its graphic 2D context Drawing a circle Adding a listener

  17. Example 4: paintingwiththe mouse (1) • <canvasstyle="top:0;left:0; background-color:#580" id="can" width="500" height="250" > </canvas> • <h1 id="hola"> hola</h1> • <button id="clean" type="button" onclick="callbackClean()">clean</button> • <script> • varcanvas = document.getElementById('can'); • varcontext = canvas.getContext('2d'); • var que = 'no painting'; • varmyx = 0; • varmyy = 0; • functioncallbackClean() { • context.clearRect(0, 0, context.canvas.width, context.canvas.height); • } • function iniciar(event) { • myx = event.pageX; • myy = event.pageY; • que = 'painting'; • } • Shows what is written in the text field when button is pressed Where I am now Cleaning the canvas Mousedown detected: Preparing data to paint

  18. Example 4: paintingwiththe mouse (2) • function pintar(event) { • if (que == 'painting') { • context.beginPath(); • context.moveTo(myx,myy); • x = event.pageX; y = event.pageY; • a = 'line from ('+myx+','+myy+') to ('+x+','+y+')'; • var h = document.getElementById('hola').innerHTML= a • context.lineTo(x,y); context.moveTo(x,y); context.stroke(); • myx = x; myy = y; • } • } • function finalizar(event) { • que = 'no painting'; • } • canvas.addEventListener('mousedown', iniciar, false) • canvas.addEventListener('mouseup', finalizar, false) • canvas.addEventListener('mousemove', pintar, false) • </script> Mouse moving • Shows what is written in the text field when button is pressed Standing where I was Asking where I am now Drawing a line Adding listeners

  19. AJAX • AJAX is a technic to update parts of a web page, without reloading the whole page. Also you can transfer small amount of data in the process. • Sends a request to an URL… and wait for states: If state 4 arrives, request as a status • 200: OK • 404: Page not found If status is 200, Ajax call was successful. Anything else is an error.

  20. AJAX • AJAX general syntax • UsejQuery library because it’s simplify considerably AJAX calls • <scriptsrc=“http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"> • </script> • <script> • $.ajax({ • data: { key1: value1, key2: value2, ... }, // Data to send in the call • url: "http://someurl.com/", // Destination URL • type: 'post', // Request method (post is recommended) • success: function (response) { • // Callback function if status 200 achieved • }, • error: function (msg) { • // Callback function something goes wrong • } • }); • </script>

  21. AJAX • AJAX Example: Simple change of content For this example consider that http://ajaxserver.com/generate a static response of ‘Text after ajax call’ • <scriptsrc="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"> </script> • <pid="content">Text before ajax call</p> • <script> • $.ajax({ • url: "http://ajaxserver.com/", //destination URL • success: function (response) { • //$("#content") is equivalent to document.getElementById("content"). • $("#content").innerHTML= response; • }, • error: function (msg) { • $("#content").innerHTML="Error: " + msg; • } • }); • </script> $(“element") are called jQuery selectors, these simplifies the selection of object in the document!

  22. AJAX • AJAX Example: Dynamic Response according to data sent For this example consider that http://ajaxserver.com/generate the response depending on fruit value • <pid="desc">Select a fruit</p> • <buttononclick="getDesc(apple)">Apple</button> • <buttononclick="getDesc(banana)">Banana</button> • <script> • functiongetDesc(type){ • $.ajax({ • url: "http://ajaxserver.com/", //destination URL • data: {fruit: type}, //Data to send • method: 'post', //Method (post is recommended) • success: function (response) { • $("#desc").innerHTML= response; }, • error: function (msg) { • $("#desc").innerHTML="Error: "+msg; } • }); } • </script>
