Adding to the progress of yesterday’s HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse Interactive Input Tutorial we turn back to the burgeoning methodologies used in HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Geo Chart Context Tutorial by extending our …


SVG class


… emoji text styling possibilities that can simulate text flip and text flop. Yes, that Google Chart Geo Chart by Google design uses SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) heavily. And luckily, that SVG can be styled, not for all CSS that we’ve tried (eg. glow work) but SVG text graphics can be helped out by the CSS writing-mode property allowing additions (to the CSS font-size properties) to our HTML’s Javascript array as per


var classesare=['wmrl','wmlr','wmtb','border','bcoly','cglow','glow','xxsmall','xsmall','xx-small','x-small','smaller','small','xxlarge','xlarge','xx-large','x-large','larger','large','tenp','twentyp','onefiftyp','fiftyp','twohundredp','threehundredp','fourhundredp','fivehundredp','sixhundredp','zero','one','two','three','four','five','six','seven','eight','nine','dot'];


… and in the Geo Chart interfacing PHP you now can get an SVG text graphic like …


<text x="883.3403011787676" y="519.1186730412636" data-r="9" data-stroke="#cccccc" data-stroke-width="1" onclick="gck(0);" title="one " data-fill="url(#attachedImage0)" class="wmlr xxlarge">🏂</text>

The user can make this Geo Chart CSS writing-mode styling happen via what they enter into the Placenames textbox which now has the non-mobile advice (on hovering) …

Geo Chart emoji SVG class styling suffixes (wmlr) or (wmrl) or (wmtb) for CSS styling writing-mode:vertical-lr; writing-mode:vertical-rl; writing-mode:horizontal-tb; respectively

A further retweaked geo_chart.php Geo Chart interfacer as called by the modified “last changed” SurveyTraverse.htm Geo Chart calling live run link with improved Emoji CSS styling possibilities akin to flip and flop, is, again, worth a look.

There is a vast difference to the complexity of web applications that …

• just impart information (in a broadcasting style) … versus ones that …
• accept interactive user input as a variable to then impart information that differs depending on those user entries

… and pretty obviously the latter one above presents many more challenges than the former. Yesterday’s HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Geo Chart Navigation Tutorial (and today’s) web application is an example where there is a great deal of interactive user entry offered.

You will find coding and deploying such web applications there are categories of users, from those who try to avail themselves of all the “bells and whistles” available right through to those who just get their kicks trying to make it fail. A common interactive entry feature that benefits from a bit of planning is your HTML input type=text textbox. Do you think of emojis as text? Well, they are, and often we don’t cater for emoji data entered into textboxes unless there is considerable “follow through” on the web application. Today’s web application has us using a five iron on a par four.

We have two scenarios we can think of that catering for interactively entered emoji characters (on macOS, using the control-command-space key sequence) …

• in first Javascript prompt window (as a chance for user to define a default Geo Chart emoji (which can be none))
• in Placename textbox (anywhere) as a specific Emoji definition for a particular Survey Traverse station (or point)

So what is the mechanism to share these new settings between calls of the web application? We’ve decided to use hashtag # navigation, because we are only dealing with top level (client) HTML/Javascript/CSS with this web application (rather than serverside PHP). Did you know you can string along hashtag concepts as per …


#DefaultEmojiCodePoint#GeoChartWidth#GeoChartHeight


… those interim # above still appearing within …


location.hash


… and so being quite a useful alternative “settings imparting tool” but not as good as (the “GET”) ? and & arguments, because caching does not recognize a changed location.hash as it does a changed document.URL (URL).

Our changed SurveyTraverse.htm Geo Chart (1000 x 630) calling live run via DMS geographicals with no Emojis link is worth mulling over.

Previous relevant HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Geo Chart Order Tutorial is shown below.

It’s been about a three day bugbear for us that ever since we introduced the possibility for geographical (ie. latitude, longitude) co-ordinate input data to do with yesterday’s HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Geo Chart Emoji Tutorial‘s Survey Traverse web application that we encouraged a default …

• data (field or column) order of Latitude then Longitude for geographicals … yet …
• data order is Easting then Northing for other co-ordinates (ie. grid co-ordinates)

… and yet, in “Survey Traverse land” this does a disservice to the bearings because comparing apples with apples …

• Latitude corresponds almost totally with Northing
• Longitude corresponds almost totally with Easting

… that almost, above, being reflective of the fact that large distance survey legs (most likely with geographical co-ordinate data input) involve significant curvature of the Earth, which is not catered for by terrestrial (as distinct from “geodetic”) Survey Traverse calculations usually involving smaller distances (as if on a flat grid/table).

And so, where the data input is coming from a CSV file the fairly self explanatory PHP …

<?php

// Start of global initializations

$reverseorder=false;
$reversesuffix="";

// End of global initializations
// Local function initializations

$foundwordlatitude=false;
$foundwordlongitude=false;
$under180=array(true, true);
$under90=array(true, true);

// Processing logic goes here
// End of processing

if (!$under180[0] || !$under180[1]) {
$reverseorder=$reverseorder;
} else if ($under90[0] && $under90[1]) {
if (!$foundwordlongitude) {
$reverseorder=true;
$reversesuffix="<pre></pre>";
} else {
$reversesuffix="<br><br><br><br>";
}

… says …

1. if either of numerical data columns 1 and 2 has a value greater than 180 the data is in “grid co-ordinates”, not “geographicals” … else …
2. if numerical data columns 1 and 2 all have values less than or equal to 90 will, unless in header records “Latitude” precedes “Longitude”, we will “reverse” the order so that column 1 is thought of as Longitude mapped to Easting and column 2 is thought of as Latitude mapped to Northing … else …
3. if numerical data column 2 all has values less than or equal to 180 and if numerical data column 1 all has values less than or equal to 90, we will “reverse” the order so that column 1 is thought of as Longitude mapped to Easting and column 2 is thought of as Latitude mapped to Northing … else …

Previous relevant HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Geo Chart Emoji Tutorial is shown below.

Onto yesterday’s HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Geo Chart Context Tutorial‘s contextual themes we extend those ideas by linking …

• user defined placenames … with
• emoji usage within the Google Chart Geo Chart used

… allowing a ([EmojiCodePointList]) delimited suffix to placenames literally “spelling out” the CodePoint necessary to define the emoji, an example [EmojiCodePointList] (for Surfers Paradise) being …


Surfers Paradise (onetwosevenninefiveeightdotsixfivezerothreenine)


… ie. 🏖️ is &#127958;&#65039;

Recognizing such a ([EmojiCodePointList]) it is stripped from the web application’s understanding of what that placename is, after having made the Emoji definition changes, as defined by the user.

The recent HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Placename Tutorial had us catering for decimal latitude and longitude input data. Within the logic for this we could be using …

• Emojis
• Link Lines

… an offer too good to refuse, and you can read about at Google Geo Chart Co-ordinate Emojis Tutorial. Except, that is, if in the meantime, our inhouse Geo Chart interfacing PHP logic does not keep up with Google changes to the Geo Chart itself. And that sad scenario was our discovery then, and today we fix it up.

With any data scraping feeling third-party feeling logic that we need to do here, it is “the data” that is everything, and you’re first troubleshooting question should be …

Some thing that used to work no longer works. What has changed with the underlying data?

Our strategy here was to capture the outerHTML (ie. element contents) of geo_chart.php’s “chart_div” (div) element of a scenario that should involve emojis and/or link lines for a …

• now scenario (which is easy via a Web Inspector -> Console -> point at “chart_div” -> two finger gesture Copy OuterHTML) … versus …
• then scenario (which we scraped together scouring snippets of data from the past existing on this MacBook Pro) of a similar scenario

… and a few prudent carriage returns revealed to us the issue. We had assumed a first HTML defs element with ID “defs” but that was no longer the case, that change cutting off a whole lot of (PHP written out) Javascript logic making Emojis and Link Lines work with Geo Charts (given savvy user usage).

Previous relevant HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Placename Tutorial is shown below.

You might say the progress made in yesterday’s HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse CSV Co-ordinates Tutorial was …

• inordinately complex … for …
• not enough “gain”

… two criticisms we can live with, and today, we “eat into” the credibility of, on two fronts …

1. we extend functionality, to include “placename” data … and …

2. that very complexity is not all bad news, as the involvement of PHP and HTML data format is also “an opportunity” to arrange data (and delimitation) to our own programming arrangements

It is “an opportunity” to come out of the PHP with two numeric fields and up to one (ie. optional placename) string field for each <br> delimited HTML record (that <br> allowing for a one Javascript codeline achieving this (though this aspect is not new to today’s work)).

It is “an opportunity” to not involve string delimitation coming out of the PHP on its way to the parent HTML iframe via its “srcdoc” attribute. How can we arrange this? Well, helped out by the usefulness of this great link we constructed the PHP function …

Previous relevant HTML and Javascript and CSS NSW State Survey Traverse Tutorial is shown below.

Yesterday’s HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse Co-ordinates Tutorial was kind of “mathematical” by nature. Today we add some realism.

This realism stems from the discovery of a NSW State Survey mark in the local area (to the right of today’s tutorial picture). Having a Land Surveying background, an indestructible looking survey mark is a joy to behold. The thing is though, when I was doing a Bachelor Of Surveying in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, this survey mark was much more an object of awe than perhaps such a mark is to people, even me, today. Mystery surrounded it, it taking a visit to a government agency (NSW Titles Office), and no doubt some paperwork to match, would be required to find out anything about it, Land Surveyors at the very least curious about …

• (Easting, Northing) co-ordinates in AMG (Australian Map Grid) (in whatever ellipsoid of relevance)
• Reduced Level (at whatever datum of relevance)

We decided on our iPhone to feed that SS46391 survey mark name into Google, thanks, and see what comes up, and discovered the “NSW Survey Marks” iOS app that we downloaded and spent a happy half hour “in a wooooorrrrrllllllddd of discovery and interest” (well, you had to be there).

You see, this app is just great! The information above is augmented by location Sketch Maps (that a Land Surveyor from the past would have created in the NSW Titles Office).

This way, in that half hour we looked for 3 survey marks in that local area, and gleaned their co-ordinates to come up with the …

• (Easting, Northing) co-ordinates in AMG (Australian Map Grid) (from the NSW Survey Marks app)
• Bearings and Distances and theodolite Angles derived

… also shown in today’s tutorial picture … via our changed SurveyTraverse.html live run link, the changes concerning allowing both …

• decimal degrees … as well as …
• degrees, minutes and seconds (useful for setting an angle with a theodolite)

… for those aforesaid mentioned Angles and Bearings (with your compass or iPhone compass app).

Some of this “NSW Survey Marks” app’s workings can be viewed with today’s accompanying PDF presentation.

Previous relevant HTML and Javascript and CSS Survey Traverse Tutorial is shown below.

Here is a tutorial showing some client-side basics in HTML and Javascript and CSS all in the one HTML file, to simplify concepts. The tutorial subject matter is a webpage to perform Survey Traverse calculations. A Survey Traverse is:

Traverse is a method in the field of surveying to establish control networks.[1] It is also used in geodesy. Traverse networks involve placing survey stations along a line or path of travel, and then using the previously surveyed points as a base for observing the next point. Traverse networks have many advantages, including:

Less reconnaissance and organization needed;
While in other systems, which may require the survey to be performed along a rigid polygon shape, the traverse can change to any shape and thus can accommodate a great deal of different terrains;
Only a few observations need to be taken at each station, whereas in other survey networks a great deal of angular and linear observations need to be made and considered;
Traverse networks are free of the strength of figure considerations that happen in triangular systems;
Scale error does not add up as the traverse is performed. Azimuth swing errors can also be reduced by increasing the distance between stations.

The traverse is more accurate than triangulateration[2] (a combined function of the triangulation and trilateration practice).[3]
