I've used the Open-DIS Java version which is quite good. I now need to use the C++ version. I was trying to find the C++ corollary to CoordinateConversions.java but with no success. Is the Open-DIS C++ just not as robust as it is for Java? Or am I missing where other Open-DIS C++ files are (e.g., the example EspduSender.java, CoordinateConversions.java)?
Thanks for your help!

I don’t think I’ve done the C++ equivalents of that (or rather the C++ people haven’t contributed that.)
The “CoordinateConversion” class does the lat/long to geocentric conversion manually, i.e. with
a bunch of trig that I copied from some old fortran code. You can convert that to C++, or
the better solution is to use the Sedris Spatial Reference Model (SRM) library that does much better and more general
coordinate conversions.
Figuring out Sedris SRM takes some head-scratching, but the people who did it are
pretty smart and it can do all sorts of things, like convert from a reference frame in a local
entity embedded in a local coordinate system to a geocentric coordinate system or lat/lon/alt,
do orientation conversions, and so on.

Thanks for the update, Don. I was able to make a C++ version of CoordinateConversions fairly easily. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something (i.e., more Open-DIS C++ classes and examples someplace). I suppose the C++ version of Open-DIS will always lag the Java version.
I'll look into the Sedris SRM as the need arises.
Thanks, again!

That’s probably a fair statement—I don’t work much in C++, and do a lot more in Java, and, these
days, Javascript. If you can send me your CoordinateConversion class I’ll check it into the svn repo.
The Javascript implementation is pretty compelling. IEEE DIS straight into the web browser
via Websockets and WebRTC, thousands of PDUs per second, access to google maps
and other web-based technology, 3D via WebGL, etc.

I'm interested in the C++ version because I'm working for a Naval Surface Warfare Center that is suspicious/closed to open-source code and JVMs. (I'm not widely proclaiming the name "Open-DIS". Instead, I'm saying NPS-developed software. Sometimes the issues to be addressed are not technical. :-/)
Also, other related development is being done in C/C++ and integration with Java is not smooth, easy, or fun (at least not when I did this kind of integration a few years back and it doesn't look like much has changed since).
The Java version is awesome (especially with Eclipse) and I'd prefer to go that route as a CS/software engineering type. However, I have to defer to my customers. I'll send the C++ CoordinateConversions.{h,cpp} files separately.
BTW, I was looking for a C++ version of the DIS enum library. I guess one's not available (i.e., only available in Java). Is it easy to generate one with XMLpg? I'm looking into that but if you know it's a dead-end would you please let me know?
Thanks!

Don, would you please send me the entire URL for the CPP disenum files you mentioned above? (I'm not sure of the svn server, trunk, etc.) Thanks!
Attached are the C++ CoordinateConversions files. Feel free to modify.
