Abstract
A method for transforming spatial data includes displaying a first graphical representation that represents spatial data formatted in a first coordinate system and displaying a second graphical representation that represents spatial data formatted in a second coordinate system. The data represented by the first graphical representation is transformed into the second coordinate system in response to the first graphical representation being dragged and dropped onto the second graphical representation. In another aspect, a computer-readable medium contains instructions for controlling a computer system to perform a method of transforming spatial data.
Claims15
A method for transforming spatial data, said method comprising:
- electronically displaying a first graphical representation that represents spatial data formatted in a first coordinate system;
- electronically displaying a second graphical representation that represents spatial data formatted in a second coordinate system;
- and
- using a computer-based device to drag and drop said first graphical representation onto said second graphical representation so as to transform data represented by said first graphical representation from said first coordinate system to said second coordinate system.
A method of using a computer system having a display and a pointing device to transform spatial data, said method comprising:
- displaying on said display a first data set icon representing a first map data set, wherein said first map data set includes spatial data formatted in a first coordinate system;
- displaying on said display a data layer icon representing a data layer that contains some or all of said data of said first map data set;
- displaying on said display a second data set icon representing a second map data set, wherein said second map data set includes spatial data formatted in a second coordinate system;
- and
- transforming said data of said data layer to said second coordinate system in response to said pointing device being used to drag and drop said data layer icon onto said second data set icon.
A computer-readable medium containing instructions for controlling a computer system to perform a method for transforming spatial data wherein said method comprises:
- displaying a first graphical representation that represents spatial data formatted in a first coordinate system;
- displaying a second graphical representation that represents spatial data formatted in a second coordinate system;
- and
- transforming data represented by said first graphical representation into said second coordinate system in response to said first graphical representation being dragged and dropped onto said second graphical representation.
