The border of the visible map is denoted by a \tikzname\ node \docNode{mrcmap}. \tikzsetnextfilename{def_coordinate_system}% \begin{dispExample} \begin{tikzpicture} \mrcNPdef{nuremberg}{49.45522}{11.07631} \mermapset{tile size=2cm} \mrcdefinemap{west=5,east=15,south=47,north=55,zoom=7} \path[draw,fill=green!10] (mrcmap.south west) rectangle (mrcmap.north east); \mrcdrawnetwork \fill (mrc cs:latitude=48.137222,longitude=11.575556) circle (2pt) node[below] {M\"unchen}; \fill (mrc cs:lat=53.550556,lon=9.993333) circle (2pt) node[above] {Hamburg}; \fill (mrcq cs:52.518611:13.408333) circle (2pt) node[left] {Berlin}; \fill (\mrcNPcs{nuremberg}) circle (2pt) node[above] {N\"urnberg}; \ifmrcinmap{50.938056}{6.956944}{ \fill (mrcpos) circle (2pt) node[right] {K\"oln};}{} \ifmrcNPinmap{nuremberg}{\draw[red] (mrcpos) circle (1cm);}{} \end{tikzpicture} \end{dispExample} \medskip The |mrc cs| coordinate system defines a map point by \refKey{/mermap/cs/latitude} and \refKey{/mermap/cs/longitude} \begin{docMrcKey}[cs]{latitude}{=\meta{latitude}}{no default} Sets the \meta{latitude} of a map point. \end{docMrcKey} \begin{docMrcKey}[cs]{longitude}{=\meta{longitude}}{no default} Sets the \meta{longitude} of a map point. \end{docMrcKey} \begin{dispListing} \fill (mrc cs:latitude=48.137222,longitude=11.575556) circle (2pt); \end{dispListing} \medskip A map point can also be defined by shorter variants \refKey{/mermap/cs/lat} and \refKey{/mermap/cs/lon} \begin{docMrcKey}[cs]{lat}{=\meta{latitude}}{no default} Sets the \meta{latitude} of a map point. \end{docMrcKey} \begin{docMrcKey}[cs]{lon}{=\meta{longitude}}{no default} Sets the \meta{longitude} of a map point. \end{docMrcKey} \begin{dispListing} \fill (mrc cs:lat=48.137222,lon=11.575556) circle (2pt); \end{dispListing} \medskip A map point can be defined even quicker by |(mrcq cs:|\meta{latitude}|:|\meta{longitude}|)|. \begin{dispListing} \fill (mrcq cs:48.137222:11.575556) circle (2pt); \end{dispListing} \medskip \begin{docCommand}{mrcpgfpoint}{\marg{latitude}\marg{longitude}} Yields a low level |pgf| point location given by \meta{latitude} and \meta{longitude}. This can be used like |\pgfpoint|. \begin{dispListing} \pgfpathcircle{\mrcpgfpoint{49.45522}{11.07631}}{2pt} \pgfusepath{fill} \end{dispListing} \end{docCommand} \clearpage %------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \subsection{Named Positions}\label{sec:names_positions} \begin{docCommand}{mrcNPdef}{\marg{name}\marg{latitude}\marg{longitude}} A coordinate pair of \meta{latitude} and \meta{longitude} can be saved as \emph{named position} (NP) to a \meta{name} for later use. The \emph{named position} just stores the given values as evaluated floating points but without coordinate system processing. Therefore, a named position can be used outside a map definition or |tikzpicture| environment, even as a preset for the whole document. Note that this saving is not global but only effective inside the current \TeX\ group. \begin{dispListing} \mrcNPdef{nuremberg}{49.45522}{11.07631} \end{dispListing} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{mrcNPfrompoint}{\marg{name}\marg{\tikzname\ point}} \emph{Latitude} and \emph{longitude} of a given \meta{\tikzname\ point} are calculated and saved as \emph{named position} (NP) with given \meta{name}. \refCom{mrcNPfrompoint} can only be used after a valid a map definition inside a |tikzpicture| environment. \begin{dispListing} \mrcNPfrompoint{mapcenter}{mrcmap.center} \mrcNPfrompoint{mytest}{[xshift=1cm,yshift=1cm]mrcmap.south west} \end{dispListing} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{mrcNPcs}{\marg{name}} A map point definition from the \meta{name} of a previously saved \emph{named position} (NP). \begin{dispListing} \fill (\mrcNPcs{nuremberg}) circle (2pt) node[above] {N\"urnberg}; \end{dispListing} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{mrcNPlat}{\marg{name}} Inserts the \emph{latitude} of a \emph{named position} with given \meta{name}. \refCom{mrcNPlat} is expandable and may be used in floating point expressions. \begin{dispExample} \mrcNPdef{nuremberg}{49.45522}{11.07631} Latitude: \mrcNPlat{nuremberg}\\ Longitude: \mrcNPlon{nuremberg} \end{dispExample} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{mrcNPlon}{\marg{name}} Inserts the \emph{longitude} of a \emph{named position} with given \meta{name}. \refCom{mrcNPlon} is expandable and may be used in floating point expressions. \end{docCommand} \clearpage %------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \subsection{Tests for Points to be inside or outside a Map} When a map is drawn, \refCom{mrcclipmap} can be used to set up a \tikzname\ clip environment which automatically removes all content which is not inside the defined map. However, the \tikzname\ position of a geographic point has to be computed first to decide, if this point is to be drawn. Since \TeX\ length registers do not allow large dimensions, compiler errors are possible to happen. The following tests check given geographic coordinates before they are transformed to \TeX\ dimensions and avoid such compiler errors. \begin{docCommand}{ifmrcinmap}{\marg{latitude}\marg{longitude}\marg{true}\marg{false}} If the given \meta{latitude} and \meta{longitude} describes a point inside the visible map, the \meta{true} code is executed, otherwise the \meta{false} code.\par Inside the \meta{true} code a \tikzname\ coordinate \docNode{mrcpos} describes the given point. Also, \docNode{mrclastpos} denotes the \emph{last} position before. \begin{dispListing} \ifmrcinmap{48.137222}{11.575556}{\fill (mrcpos) circle (2pt);}{} \end{dispListing} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{ifmrcNPinmap}{\marg{name}\marg{true}\marg{false}} If the given \emph{named position} (NP) \meta{name} describes a point inside the visible map, the \meta{true} code is executed, otherwise the \meta{false} code. \begin{dispListing} \mrcNPdef{munich}{48.137222}{11.575556} \ifmrcNPinmap{munich}{\fill (mrcpos) circle (2pt);}{} \end{dispListing} \end{docCommand} Very similar to \refCom{ifmrcinmap} is \refCom{ifmrcinvicinity}. \begin{docCommand}{ifmrcinvicinity}{\marg{latitude}\marg{longitude}\marg{true}\marg{false}} If the given \meta{latitude} and \meta{longitude} describes a point inside a vicinity of the visible map, i.e. the map \emph{plus} a margin of \refKey{/mermap/vicinity}, the \meta{true} code is executed, otherwise the \meta{false} code.\par Inside the \meta{true} code a \tikzname\ coordinate \docNode{mrcpos} describes the given point. Also, \docNode{mrclastpos} denotes the \emph{last} position before.\par \refCom{ifmrcinvicinity} may be used for objects of a certain size like markers which could be partly visible even when their reference point is outside the visible map (but nearby). \begin{dispListing} \ifmrcinvicinity{48.137222}{11.575556}{\fill (mrcpos) circle (2pt);}{} \end{dispListing} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{ifmrcNPinvicinity}{\marg{name}\marg{true}\marg{false}} If the given \emph{named position} (NP) \meta{name} describes a point inside a vicinity of the visible map, the \meta{true} code is executed, otherwise the \meta{false} code, see \refCom{ifmrcinvicinity}. \begin{dispListing} \mrcNPdef{munich}{48.137222}{11.575556} \ifmrcNPinvicinity{munich}{\fill (mrcpos) circle (2pt);}{} \end{dispListing} \end{docCommand} \begin{docMrcKey}{vicinity}{=\meta{width}}{no default, initially |2cm|} The vicinity of the map is the given map plus a border in all directions with the given \meta{width}. \end{docMrcKey} \clearpage %------------------------------------------------------------------------------- \subsection{Formatted Coordinate Output} \begin{docCommand}{mrcformlat}{\oarg{options}\marg{latitude}} Formatted output for a given \meta{latitude} following given \meta{options}. Formatting \meta{options} are described in the following. \begin{dispExample} Latitude from \mrcformlat{-24.29} to \mrcformlat{12.3456789}. \end{dispExample} \end{docCommand} \begin{docCommand}{mrcformlon}{\oarg{options}\marg{longitude}} Formatted output for a given \meta{longitude} following given \meta{options}.
