Re: Generating weather maps

[Jonas K. <me...@j0...>]

Hello,

I updated my approach to generate weather maps for every country with
phpWeather. You can see the current version at
http://www.j0nes.de/wetter/. Currently I included maps for Denmark,
France, Germany and Spain, but other maps can also be integrated.

I found a very useful class named Geoclass at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/geoclassphp/. Geoclass can draw maps
out of .e00 textfiles (which are freely available for almost every
country at http://www.maproom.psu.edu/dcw/) and also does the
transformation from latitude/longitude values to x/y-positions on the
map.

A drawback is that I need several values for every map that you have
to figure out first (try and error), for example the range in
latitude/longitude for this country or the size of the map in pixels
and thus the width-to-height-ratio.

What about the latitude/longitude values for all weather stations?
Phil, browsing the archive I found postings that you had an idea
how to put those values in the pw_stations table. Did you advance in
this?
