Tracks

Since version 1.4.0 it is possible to display coordinate-lines – or tracks – on the map. The following screenshot shows the demo application with two tracks in different colors and with a different line-thickness:

These objects are created in the demo application by reading two files in csv format containing the coordinates:

// load two coordinate lines
trackMagenta = loadCoordinateLine(getClass().getResource("/M1.csv")).orElse(new CoordinateLine
        ()).setColor(Color.MAGENTA);
trackCyan = loadCoordinateLine(getClass().getResource("/M2.csv")).orElse(new CoordinateLine
        ()).setColor(Color.CYAN).setWidth(7);

The method that is called reads the csv file, splits the lines in two, creates Coordinate Objects and adds them to a list to finally pass this list to the CoordinateLine constructor.

private Optional<CoordinateLine> loadCoordinateLine(URL url) {
    try (
            Stream<String> lines = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(url.openStream(), StandardCharsets.UTF_8)).lines()
    ) {
        return Optional.ofNullable(new CoordinateLine(
                lines.map(line -> line.split(";")).filter(array -> array.length == 2)
                        .map(values -> new Coordinate(Double.valueOf(values[0]), Double.valueOf(values[1])))
                        .collect(Collectors.toList())));
    } catch (IOException | NumberFormatException e) {
        logger.error("load {}", url, e);
    }
    return Optional.empty();
}

CoordinateLine objects have a visibility property that in the demo application is bound to the checkboxes. On change of these properties the demo application zooms the extent so that both tracks are in view.

Polygons

Since version 2.2.0 (1.21.0 for the JDK8 version), CoordinateLines can be set to be closed, so that they are polygons with a fill color. After the draw a polygon checkbox is checked in the left pane, the demo app uses the clicks in the map to build a filled polygon:

When trying this out, after the first click you will see no change, after the second a line and only after the third click a polygon.

The code in the handler for the MAP_CLICKED event just gets the coordinates from the previous polygon, adds the new one and then recreates the polygon (Coordinate lines cannot be modified once their are created in the map:

/**
 * shows a new polygon with the coordinate from the added.
 *
 * @param event
 *         event with coordinates
 */
private void handlePolygonClick(MapViewEvent event) {
    final List<Coordinate> coordinates = new ArrayList<>();
    if (polygonLine != null) {
        polygonLine.getCoordinateStream().forEach(coordinates::add);
        mapView.removeCoordinateLine(polygonLine);
        polygonLine = null;
    }
    coordinates.add(event.getCoordinate());
    polygonLine = new CoordinateLine(coordinates)
            .setColor(Color.DODGERBLUE)
            .setFillColor(Color.web("lawngreen", 0.4))
            .setClosed(true);
    mapView.addCoordinateLine(polygonLine);
    polygonLine.setVisible(true);
}

Like with markers and labels, coordinate lines and polygons are independent from the map style, so you change change the style while displaying them:

Miscellaneous options

In this section on the left side of the demo application there is – at the moment – only one option: the animationDuration. This is a value in milliseconds that is used for animation when the map’s center or zoom is modified using the setCenter(c), setZoom(z) or setExtend(e) calls. It does not change the animation that is used by the OpenLayers map component when the controls in the map are used for zooming. Setting the value to zero switches the animation off.

  and who can’t open the DemoApp.fxml
  check the under document, pp. 35 Import JAR

        I just downloaded SceneBuilder 8.5.0 from https://gluonhq.com/products/scene-builder/ (the Java 8 version), added the actual Java8 version of mapjfx (1.24.3), and there it works

  Hello,
  
  on which System? Which map type? Do you run software like vpn etc?
  
  The demo has enabled the offline cache for the embedded browser, can you change the line 271 in Controller.java so that the cache is not used, either by putting a comment in front or by changing it to offlineCache.setActive(false);?
  
  When starting the program from the console/terminal, do you see some errors in the output?

    Hello,
    
    thank you for the answer.
    The system is Windows7.
    
    Now,I have tested the demo on another PC, and here I can see the OSM-Map, when starting from console.
    But in Netbeans-IDE, the map still does not appear.
    
    Setting offlineCache to false takes no effect.

        Maybe a performance-problem? The rendering of the map is very slow anyway.

        That’s a lot more before the Map is shown. Can you use a debugger to step through the Controller.initialize() method?

For some reason the logger.trace is not shown im my debug-output.

And when I step into ‘mapView.initialize()’, only the Logger.finer – Method is called.

Hello,

I have tried it, but only the markers defined in the constructor are visible.

  Sure it’s possible. You have to take care that you keep a reference of the created markers, otherwise they are immediately garbage-collected.
  
  If for example you add the following property to the Controller class:
  
  private Map<String, Marker> markersCreatedOnClick = new HashMap<>();
  
  and add this code in the event handler initializer:
  
  mapView.addEventHandler(MapViewEvent.MAP_CLICKED, event -> { final Marker marker = Marker.createProvided(Marker.Provided.ORANGE) .setPosition(event.getCoordinate()) .setVisible(true); mapView.addMarker(marker); markersCreatedOnClick.put(marker.getId(), marker); }); mapView.addEventHandler(MarkerEvent.MARKER_CLICKED, event -> { event.consume(); Marker marker = markersCreatedOnClick.remove(event.getMarker().getId()); if (null != marker) { mapView.removeMarker(marker); } });
  
  then with every click you will add a new marker and clicking on the marker will remove it again.

    Thank you very much.
    
    On my development-PC it works now fine (except from the missing map when started in the IDE, but that would be ok), but unfortunately on every other PC I tested, the map does not appear at all.
    
    Could it be the WMSParam-Urls?
    
    It looks like the map is loaded somehow, because the markers appear and I can move and zoom, only the map itself is missing, there is only a grey background.

        Hello everyone I had the same issue when the map was not showing in the demo app even though cache was disabled.
        
        The fix was that I adjusted the Java version to instead using an old JRE 1.8.0_66 to use a new JDK 1.8.0_121.
        
        Then the map was shown correctly.

  Hello Chris,
  which version of Java? JDK or JRE? At the moment when running this on 1.8.0_162 on OSX the loading of the map tiles was quite slow, but now it’s working here.
  
  There is an open issue (https://github.com/sothawo/mapjfx/issues/29) where I am investigating a similar problem, but I have no solution for that. Is this only happening for the OSM map? The WMS Gis Landsat server seems not to be available anymore, but can you try the WMS world food programme map and zoom out to level 3? This should give you a grey map with some darker grey boundaries especially in Africa and the middle east.
  
  You can sign up for a Bing Maps API key, that does not cost anything for up to 125.000 calls a year. At least that what give you the possibility to check if this map type is working.

        Hi Chris, thanks for the info.
        
        Alas as far as I found out, this is a problem which is caused by something in the underlying WebKit implementation (see the analysis in https://github.com/sothawo/mapjfx/issues/29 and my test with a plain example from the OpenLayers webiste https://www.sothawo.com/2018/02/mapjfx-problems/).
        
        I just tried with the new 1.8_172 and there with the mapjfx-demo app I have only parts loading.
        
        So at the moment I do not know how to fix this.

  in the demo app by selecting ‘map style’ on the left and then the ‘Stamen Watercolor” radio button.
  But as this is a OpenStreetmap map as wellm you might run into the problems with the mpa tiles not properly loading; see the blog posts and jira issues for more details.

Is it possible to use this library in an offline application? We currently have a swing based application which renders a map and various layers using OpenMap and all our data is stored locally. Plus OpenMap supports a bunch of mapping standards like VMAP and DTED. Does your library support something like those or would we have to write something?

  as written here (https://www.sothawo.com/projects/mapjfx-demo/6/) there is an offline caching mode which caches the tiles during an online session, so they are available later even when offline.
  
  **But**: this will not work from probably Java 11 on, as I need to use some reflection to get this working which will not be allowed in Java versions to come
