php - Google static map radius to zoom -

-

i'm developing web service in php gets latitude, longitude , radius in kilometers , generate google static map.

also display points database in radius.

my question how can covert radius in google's zoom parameter ensure points visible on map?

something like: http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=new+york,ny&[*this parameter*zoom=13]&size=600x300&markers.......

as stated @ google maps documentation:

because basic mercator google maps tile 256 x 256 pixels.
note every zoom level, map has 2 n tiles.

meaning @ zoomlevel 2, pixels in direction of map = 256 * 2² = 1024px.

taking account earth has perimeter of ~40,000 kilometers, in zoom 0, every pixel ~= 40,000 km/256 = 156.25 km
@ zoom 9, pixels 131072:
1px = 40,000 km / 131072 = 0.305 km ... , on.

if image 640 x 640 px,and using zoom 9, means cover ~ 640 * 0.305 ~= 195km. radius approx 100km.
everytime zoom++, radius half.

if use zoom 15 (1px = 0.00478km) image cover ~3km wide (radius 1.5km).

take account go further north or south, real distance less, distortion bigger.

you use parameter zoom = floor(log2 (earthp * 2 pixmap / (256 *radius))).

  • earthp = earth perimeter @ latitude (in km)
  • pixmap = pixels of map display
  • radius = radius want displayed in image (in km)
  • log 2= logarithm in base 2

note: convert log2 regular log make this:
floor((log (earthp * 2 pixmap / (256 *radius)))/log 2)

reference logarithms in wikipedia

python - Subclassed QStyledItemDelegate ignores Stylesheet -

-
i'm trying subclass qstyleditemdelegate remove focus rectangle in qcombobox . even though i'm calling base implementation of paint function , nothing else, result different. looks if parts of style-sheet influence bounding box of item taken consideration. class pstyleditemdelegate(qstyleditemdelegate): def __init__(self, *args, **kwds): super(pstyleditemdelegate, self).__init__(*args, **kwds) def paint(self, *args, **kwargs): qstyleditemdelegate.paint(*args, **kwargs) what have paint unmodified qstyleditemdelegate ? as suggested tried replacing pyside pyqt4 , works, appears bug. update pyside 1.1.2 1.2.1 result same. unfortunately switch breaks other parts of code, if there no other suggestions i'm going accept answer. edit bug tracked here

i using node.js script gather data stackoverflow. know responses gzipped, put code in should take care of that. script follows: var request = require('request'); var zlib = require('zlib'); function getstackoverflowresponse(url, callback){ request(url, {encoding: null}, function(err, response, body){ if(response.headers['content-encoding'] == 'gzip'){ zlib.gunzip(body, function(err, dezipped) { callback(dezipped); }); } else { callback(body); } }); } var url = "https://api.stackexchange.com/docs/questions#pagesize=2&order=desc&min=2014-01-04&max=2014-02-02&sort=activity&tagged=apigee&filter=default&site=stackoverflow&run=true"; getstackoverflowresponse(url, function(questions) { console.log(questions); }); instead of getting json output, i'm getting following response: buffer 0d 0a 0d 0a 0d 0a 0d 0a 3c 21 44 4f 43 54 59 50 45 20 48...
