Animated GIF Creation Canvas Integration via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Thinking about yesterday’s Animated GIF Creation Data Limits via Slide Extraction Tutorial‘s progress …

What about if the user is happy to use those filled in animated GIF slide textboxes (with delay and title) to create a user created (and downloadable) animated GIF there and then?

Well, we know that user could click their own presented button, but we wanted to flag it up at the parent ahead of time too, in terms of clarity in the changed seventh draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), which you can try below.

So, what’s all this got to do with an HTML canvas element (in case we have readers who take notice of the nuances of blog posting titles, that is)? Well, once you reach the stage with our inhouse Animated GIF Creator web application, where it has created your own animated GIF image, there is an “onclick” subsection of functionality that, in our new scenario, suffered from an error 404 (Bad Request) because the codeline ran as …

<?php echo ”

canvwo.push(window.open('/HTMLCSS/user_of_signature_signature.htm?slide=' + tid.replace(/^slideshow1$/g,'slideshow') + useyourwords, '_blank', 'top=' + eval(screen.height - hw) + ',left=' + eval(screen.width - hw) + ',width=' + hw + ',height=' + hw));

“; ?>

… but got that error because variable useyourwords contains an animated GIF “first slide” data-URI (useful in that a [canvasContext].drawImage() call of it would do what “drawImage” does with animated GIFs anyway (going back to the original point regarding this whole thread of blog postings)) which caused an overshoot of data size limits on conventional ($_GET style) address bar URLs (perhaps involving ? and & arguments (whether they be five minute or ten minute ones)). But regular readers will know, for a happy couple of months now, we recognize we do not always have to call into play serverside PHP and its $_POST mechanisms here, because we can also call on our life changing hashtagging (ie. #) (clientside approach for HTML/Javascript/CSS webpage) ideas now! Yay!!!!! And so, it came to pass, that … yes … there was light on yonder hilland vale … whatever that is … as “we broke bread” … shall we say … let’s … with some new hashtagging code in the changed PHP tutorial_to_animated_gif.php inhouse animated GIF creator web application

<?php echo ”

if (eval('' + ('' + '/HTMLCSS/user_of_signature_signature.htm?slide=' + tid.replace(/^slideshow1$/g,'slideshow') + useyourwords).length) <= 800) {
canvwo.push(window.open('/HTMLCSS/user_of_signature_signature.htm?slide=' + tid.replace(/^slideshow1$/g,'slideshow') + useyourwords, '_blank', 'top=' + eval(screen.height - hw) + ',left=' + eval(screen.width - hw) + ',width=' + hw + ',height=' + hw));
} else {
canvwo.push(window.open('/HTMLCSS/user_of_signature_signature.htm?slide=' + tid.replace(/^slideshow1$/g,'slideshow') + useyourwords.replace('&','#'), '_blank', 'top=' + eval(screen.height - hw) + ',left=' + eval(screen.width - hw) + ',width=' + hw + ',height=' + hw));
}


“; ?>

… as above and with the changed user_of_signature_signature.htm User of Signature Signature inhouse canvas graphic data web application “canvas hoster” …


var thewords=(location.search + location.hash).split('thewords=')[1] ? decodeURIComponent((location.search + location.hash).split('thewords=')[1].split('&')[0]) : "";
if (thewords.indexOf('data') == 0) { thewords=thewords.replace(/\ /g,'+'); }

… to bring “canvas integration” into the mix.

Animated GIF Creation Data Limits via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Even PHP’s $_POST[] approach to HTML form navigation data sharing has it’s limits, and that can be challenged when considering a whole set of data-URI defined animated GIF slide images.

But, behind the scenes, when $_POST[] does not get filled out with regard to the data limits of the Apache/PHP/MySql (in our case) web server involved, there is still php://input

PHP provides a number of miscellaneous I/O streams that allow access to PHP’s own input and output streams, the standard input, output and error file descriptors, in-memory and disk-backed temporary file streams, and filters that can manipulate other file resources as they are read from and written to.

php://stdin, php://stdout and php://stderr ¶
php://stdin, php://stdout and php://stderr allow direct access to the corresponding input or output stream of the PHP process. The stream references a duplicate file descriptor, so if you open php://stdin and later close it, you close only your copy of the descriptor-the actual stream referenced by STDIN is unaffected. It is recommended that you simply use the constants STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR instead of manually opening streams using these wrappers.

php://stdin is read-only, whereas php://stdout and php://stderr are write-only.

… we can turn to (thanks, PHP), that can save the day in a lot of these scenarios.

The thing is, which our parent HTML and Javascript can help with, we want to be flagging the scenario where we should be checking that php://input usage might be coming into play. Well, even for an HTML form method=POST action=[ourRelevantPHP] scenario, the PHP global $_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] is honoured, shall we say (separate to any $_GET[] ideas, is what we are getting at here). So we can, at the client HTML and Javascript parent (and client) end, set a unique $_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] condition to test for in a changed sixth draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), which you can try below, nuancing yesterday’s Animated GIF Creation Interfacing via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Animated GIF Creation Interfacing via Slide Extraction Tutorial

The work of today combines …

… to add the chance for a user to use what ImageMagick produces as an Animated GIF slide and fill this out into the textboxes of the Animated GIF Creator “child” iframe hosted incarnation “quietly” filled out probably “below the fold”, but scrollable toable.

There are data limits to what the Animated GIF Creator can handle, but perhaps it can help a user create their own Animated GIFs, for their own purposes, via other sources.

Sources for courses

… we’d say. But we would say that, wouldn’t we?!

To make this happen, amongst the …

  1. PHP … and …
  2. Korn Shell

… helper components (to get to ImageMagick) we swap the “tidying up of interim files” role Korn Shell used to do, quite successfully (and still does for any interim “whole Animated GIF” files created), passing the responsibilities to the PHP to do (via passing over to the Korn Shell a new extra argument, to tell it this is the new arrangement). And at the changed third draft agtoslides.php PHP (working with the changed third draft agtoslides.ksh), before the “outputting command line” is executed, a whole lot of “child asks stuff of the parent” “programming talk and action” happens (and works, because our Client Pre-emptive Iframe Onload Event logic looks for that iframe document’s document.body.innerHTML as the representation of the extracted slide (of the animated GIF) of interest) …

Animated GIF Slide Extraction Reveal Tutorial

Around here, we’re not ashamed to simplify 90% of web design issues into two categories …

  1. an “overlay” issue … or …
  2. a “reveal” issue

… and today’s improvements, pitted against the progress up until yesterday’s Animated GIF Slide Extraction Absolute URL Tutorial, pitted these two “colossuses” (at least in our mind) against each other as concept ideas towards today’s work’s solution. Which wins? We opted for a “reveal” solution, where the initial position is “reveal”.

We could have “overlayed” but we went for the KISS (“keep it simple simpleton”) principle, where, what you see at the top of a webpage takes prominence for the user. The thing is, though, in this alternate input section, we are not fussed that it stays around, hence the details/summary “reveal” way a user can make it disappear at any given point in time.

Here’s the thing, though, a details/summary “reveal” pairing has that “summary” innerHTML content part that can remain, no matter what, as a status informer mechanism we’re hoping helps out the “formerly obtuse” web application ways of our Animated GIF Extraction web application, in a changed fourth draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), which you can try below.

  • browsed for local animated GIF file of interest … is today’s …
  • absolute URL pointing to a domain not the same as the address bar domain of use

As you might guess this last option for the user may not work for a domain with very high security, but being as hotlinking images makes the Internet woooorrrrllllddd go around perhaps the user can try this underlying curl based logic out, to see with a changed third draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), try below.

Animated GIF Creation Data Limits via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Animated GIF Creation Data Limits via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Animated GIF Creation Data Limits via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Even PHP’s $_POST[] approach to HTML form navigation data sharing has it’s limits, and that can be challenged when considering a whole set of data-URI defined animated GIF slide images.

But, behind the scenes, when $_POST[] does not get filled out with regard to the data limits of the Apache/PHP/MySql (in our case) web server involved, there is still php://input

PHP provides a number of miscellaneous I/O streams that allow access to PHP’s own input and output streams, the standard input, output and error file descriptors, in-memory and disk-backed temporary file streams, and filters that can manipulate other file resources as they are read from and written to.

php://stdin, php://stdout and php://stderr ¶
php://stdin, php://stdout and php://stderr allow direct access to the corresponding input or output stream of the PHP process. The stream references a duplicate file descriptor, so if you open php://stdin and later close it, you close only your copy of the descriptor-the actual stream referenced by STDIN is unaffected. It is recommended that you simply use the constants STDIN, STDOUT and STDERR instead of manually opening streams using these wrappers.

php://stdin is read-only, whereas php://stdout and php://stderr are write-only.

… we can turn to (thanks, PHP), that can save the day in a lot of these scenarios.

The thing is, which our parent HTML and Javascript can help with, we want to be flagging the scenario where we should be checking that php://input usage might be coming into play. Well, even for an HTML form method=POST action=[ourRelevantPHP] scenario, the PHP global $_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] is honoured, shall we say (separate to any $_GET[] ideas, is what we are getting at here). So we can, at the client HTML and Javascript parent (and client) end, set a unique $_SERVER[‘QUERY_STRING’] condition to test for in a changed sixth draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), which you can try below, nuancing yesterday’s Animated GIF Creation Interfacing via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Animated GIF Creation Interfacing via Slide Extraction Tutorial

The work of today combines …

… to add the chance for a user to use what ImageMagick produces as an Animated GIF slide and fill this out into the textboxes of the Animated GIF Creator “child” iframe hosted incarnation “quietly” filled out probably “below the fold”, but scrollable toable.

There are data limits to what the Animated GIF Creator can handle, but perhaps it can help a user create their own Animated GIFs, for their own purposes, via other sources.

Sources for courses

… we’d say. But we would say that, wouldn’t we?!

To make this happen, amongst the …

  1. PHP … and …
  2. Korn Shell

… helper components (to get to ImageMagick) we swap the “tidying up of interim files” role Korn Shell used to do, quite successfully (and still does for any interim “whole Animated GIF” files created), passing the responsibilities to the PHP to do (via passing over to the Korn Shell a new extra argument, to tell it this is the new arrangement). And at the changed third draft agtoslides.php PHP (working with the changed third draft agtoslides.ksh), before the “outputting command line” is executed, a whole lot of “child asks stuff of the parent” “programming talk and action” happens (and works, because our Client Pre-emptive Iframe Onload Event logic looks for that iframe document’s document.body.innerHTML as the representation of the extracted slide (of the animated GIF) of interest) …

Animated GIF Slide Extraction Reveal Tutorial

Animated GIF Slide Extraction Reveal Tutorial

Around here, we’re not ashamed to simplify 90% of web design issues into two categories …

  1. an “overlay” issue … or …
  2. a “reveal” issue

… and today’s improvements, pitted against the progress up until yesterday’s Animated GIF Slide Extraction Absolute URL Tutorial, pitted these two “colossuses” (at least in our mind) against each other as concept ideas towards today’s work’s solution. Which wins? We opted for a “reveal” solution, where the initial position is “reveal”.

We could have “overlayed” but we went for the KISS (“keep it simple simpleton”) principle, where, what you see at the top of a webpage takes prominence for the user. The thing is, though, in this alternate input section, we are not fussed that it stays around, hence the details/summary “reveal” way a user can make it disappear at any given point in time.

Here’s the thing, though, a details/summary “reveal” pairing has that “summary” innerHTML content part that can remain, no matter what, as a status informer mechanism we’re hoping helps out the “formerly obtuse” web application ways of our Animated GIF Extraction web application, in a changed fourth draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), which you can try below.

The other user entry the user might do using the Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application of yesterday’s Animated GIF Slide Extraction Browsing Tutorial onto …

  • relative animated GIF URL (within the address bar domain of use or an absolute URL serving similar purposes) … and yesterday’s …
  • browsed for local animated GIF file of interest … is today’s …
  • absolute URL pointing to a domain not the same as the address bar domain of use

As you might guess this last option for the user may not work for a domain with very high security, but being as hotlinking images makes the Internet woooorrrrllllddd go around perhaps the user can try this underlying curl based logic out, to see with a changed third draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), try below.

You may have noticed in our first draft we were not concerned with two incarnations of the web application being executed at once.

By and large the internal use only interim file naming in this ImageMagick phase is 99.9999999% sure to be unique to your session, and so not interfering, or accidentally picking up, other sessional data.

Animated GIF Creation Interfacing via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Animated GIF Creation Interfacing via Slide Extraction Tutorial

Animated GIF Creation Interfacing via Slide Extraction Tutorial

The work of today combines …

… to add the chance for a user to use what ImageMagick produces as an Animated GIF slide and fill this out into the textboxes of the Animated GIF Creator “child” iframe hosted incarnation “quietly” filled out probably “below the fold”, but scrollable toable.

There are data limits to what the Animated GIF Creator can handle, but perhaps it can help a user create their own Animated GIFs, for their own purposes, via other sources.

Sources for courses

… we’d say. But we would say that, wouldn’t we?!

To make this happen, amongst the …

  1. PHP … and …
  2. Korn Shell

… helper components (to get to ImageMagick) we swap the “tidying up of interim files” role Korn Shell used to do, quite successfully (and still does for any interim “whole Animated GIF” files created), passing the responsibilities to the PHP to do (via passing over to the Korn Shell a new extra argument, to tell it this is the new arrangement). And at the changed third draft agtoslides.php PHP (working with the changed third draft agtoslides.ksh), before the “outputting command line” is executed, a whole lot of “child asks stuff of the parent” “programming talk and action” happens (and works, because our Client Pre-emptive Iframe Onload Event logic looks for that iframe document’s document.body.innerHTML as the representation of the extracted slide (of the animated GIF) of interest) …

Around here, we’re not ashamed to simplify 90% of web design issues into two categories …

  1. an “overlay” issue … or …
  2. a “reveal” issue

… and today’s improvements, pitted against the progress up until yesterday’s Animated GIF Slide Extraction Absolute URL Tutorial, pitted these two “colossuses” (at least in our mind) against each other as concept ideas towards today’s work’s solution. Which wins? We opted for a “reveal” solution, where the initial position is “reveal”.

We could have “overlayed” but we went for the KISS (“keep it simple simpleton”) principle, where, what you see at the top of a webpage takes prominence for the user. The thing is, though, in this alternate input section, we are not fussed that it stays around, hence the details/summary “reveal” way a user can make it disappear at any given point in time.

Here’s the thing, though, a details/summary “reveal” pairing has that “summary” innerHTML content part that can remain, no matter what, as a status informer mechanism we’re hoping helps out the “formerly obtuse” web application ways of our Animated GIF Extraction web application, in a changed fourth draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), which you can try below.


Previous relevant Animated GIF Slide Extraction Absolute URL Tutorial is shown below.

Animated GIF Slide Extraction Absolute URL Tutorial

The other user entry the user might do using the Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application of yesterday’s Animated GIF Slide Extraction Browsing Tutorial onto …

  • relative animated GIF URL (within the address bar domain of use or an absolute URL serving similar purposes) … and yesterday’s …
  • browsed for local animated GIF file of interest … is today’s …
  • absolute URL pointing to a domain not the same as the address bar domain of use

As you might guess this last option for the user may not work for a domain with very high security, but being as hotlinking images makes the Internet woooorrrrllllddd go around perhaps the user can try this underlying curl based logic out, to see with a changed third draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), try below.

You may have noticed in our first draft we were not concerned with two incarnations of the web application being executed at once. Back then, one might interfere with the next if interrupted during the serverside ImageMagick phase of creating the png slides off the input animated GIF. Recently, we have started using …


uniquifier

… based logic (but in non-SQL realms) for that ImageMagick work. By and large the internal use only interim file naming in this ImageMagick phase is 99.9999999% sure to be unique to your session, and so not interfering, or accidentally picking up, other sessional data. You might want to look out for a textbox named “random”, in the code, regarding how we make that happen …

Animated GIF Multiple Onload Slides Tutorial

Animated GIF Multiple Onload Slides Tutorial

We’re having a revisit of our inhouse Animated GIF creator PHP web application, again, to improve on its “unwieldy ways” as a tool to another web application using it from the standpoint of knowing all the animated GIF slide data ahead of time, and preparing the way for a user to easily rework that animated GIF (with our inhouse Animated GIF Creator web application), perhaps.

It’s unwieldy, currently, because we dynamically add textboxes containing slide data on the fly, but today’s improvements allow for a user defined “number of slides” to be helping flesh out those textboxes “ahead of the fly”, if you will …

Animated GIF Slide Component Replacing Tutorial

We’re getting into componentry today, “spare parts” if you will, behind the creation of Animated GIF images, used in yesterday’s Animated GIF Slide Component Knowledge Tutorial‘s PHP web application.

We left you yesterday, during its “phase two” animated GIF creation phase …

  • a resultant animated GIF HTML img element … now responding to the …
  • oncontextmenu event (ie. like a right click) … whereby the …
  • relevant applicable “still” was displayed in a new popup window … and today we flesh out the contents of that skeletal popup window webpage design of yesterday …
  • adding some HTML buttons …
    1. +90 degree rotation
    2. +270 degree rotation
    3. Remake Animated GIF

    … along with accompanying popup window webpage Javascript …

… to make all this new second phase animated GIF editing possible in today’s changed PHP tutorial_to_animated_gif.php inhouse animated GIF creator web application.

You can be pretty sure this first foray will need more nuance into the coming daysweeks (off the Animated GIF theme tomorrow, it being “International Holiday for the Animated GIF Weary … Day”)! We hope you stay with it!

Animated GIF Slide Component Knowledge Tutorial

Animated GIF Slide Component Knowledge Tutorial

Yesterday’s Animated GIF SVG Quiz Automation Interaction Tutorial‘s …

  • animated GIF, using its duration, for effect, adding user interaction onmouseover logic for our SVG Quiz scenarios … led us to, today …
  • the more obvious generic step to add oncontextmenu (ie. right click) logic to extract the slide image of the animated GIF showing at the time of the right click

Now, our solution to getting this thing to happen, is to …

  • not extend out … but rather to …
  • extend up

… with how the phase one collection of slide image data meets the phase two creation of animated GIF form navigation logic. Up to today, its default modus operandi was that this HTML form had a …


target='_self'

… attribute implied in its make up, and this, to us, is like “extending out” where your phase one “web application” has effectively …

left the building

… so that the phase two “web application” can take up residency.

But the fact is, the target attribute can also point to _blank (new tab) or _top or “the name of an HTML iframe element”. We use that last idea, along with …

Initial new static HTML …
<?php echo ”

<iframe id=nolongerselfi name=nolongerselfi style=display:none; onload=getwhatwas(this);></iframe>

“; ?>
During the HTML form onsubmit event (function predothem) logic, decide …
<?php echo ”

var dodt=true;

function predothem() {
if (dodt) {
document.getElementById('myform').target=nolongerself('_self');
} else {
document.getElementById('ztitled').innerHTML+='<input name=\"nodt\" id=\"nodt\" value=\"y\" type=hidden></input>';
}
dothem();
}

function nolongerself(wasself) {
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.position='absolute';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.top='0px';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.left='0px';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.width='100%';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.height='300%';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.zIndex='1234';
document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').style.display='block';
//document.getElementById('nolongerselfi').src='./tutorial_to_animated_gif.php';
return 'nolongerselfi';
}

“; ?>

… and if that variable dodt remains true (by you, the user, not clicking the “Delay(s)” span element), then the HTML form navigation result effectively slaps itself above (via that large CSS z-index property defined) and, though you (as the HTML form, of course … get with the plan!) do not see what’s below, does not mean that that image data in that “lower floor” is not available (because, surely, parents are allowed to live in the same building … just out of sight, but useful?!)

<?php echo ”

var lastcurslide=-1, curslide=1;

function smaybeact(oimg) {
if (lastcurslide != curslide) {
lastcurslide=curslide;
var woois=window.open('', '_blank', 'top=100,left=100,height=800,width=800');
woois.document.write('<html><head><title>Animated GIF ' + agurl + ' Slide ' + lastcurslide + '/' + totalsno + '</title></head><body><img title=\"' + 'Animated GIF ' + agurl + ' Slide ' + lastcurslide + '/' + totalsno + '\" src=\"' + parent.document.getElementById(('slideshow' + lastcurslide).replace(/^slideshow1$/g, 'slideshow')).value + '\"></img></body></html>');
woois.name='Animated GIF ' + agurl + ' Slide ' + lastcurslide + '/' + totalsno;
}
}

“; ?>

… as that animated GIF’s oncontextmenu new function, existant or not, via the new phase two applicable PHP …

<?php

$ntvals="-1";
$oncdt=' oncontextmenu=smaybeact(this); ';
if (isset($_GET['nodt'])) { $oncdt=''; }
if (isset($_POST['nodt'])) { $oncdt=''; }
if (isset($_GET['ntvals'])) { $ntvals=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_GET['ntvals']))); }
if (isset($_POST['ntvals'])) { $ntvals=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_POST['ntvals']))); }

?>

Animated GIF SVG Quiz Automation Interaction Tutorial

Animated GIF SVG Quiz Automation Interaction Tutorial

Today, we wanted to combine yesterday’s …

… the reason this being interesting, is that if we send to the “second phase” PHP web application pass which creates the animated GIF …

  1. the number of slides …
    <?php

    $tvalsn="-1";
    $ttitled="";
    if (isset($_GET['tvalsn'])) { $tvalsn=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_GET['tvalsn']))); $ttitled=''; }
    if (isset($_POST['tvalsn'])) { $tvalsn=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_POST['tvalsn']))); $ttitled=''; }

    ?>
  2. an indication of whether there are 2 slides or 3 slides per original SVG+xml based image …
  3. a comma separated list of answers …

    $tvalsa="";
    $atitled="";
    $detsum="";
    $sumdet="";
    if (isset($_GET['tvalsa'])) { $detsum="<details><summary>Show ...</summary>"; $sumdet="</details>"; $tvalsa=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_GET['tvalsa']))); $atitled='<input type=hidden id=tvalsa name=tvalsa value="' . $tvalsa . '"></input>'; }
    if (isset($_POST['tvalsa'])) { $detsum="<details><summary>Show ...</summary>"; $sumdet="</details>"; $tvalsa=(str_replace("+"," ",urldecode($_POST['tvalsa']))); $atitled='<input type=hidden id=tvalsa name=tvalsa value="' . $tvalsa . '"></input>'; }

    ?>

… we can use that “animated GIF duration” calculation to know, at any one point, which slide is showing, effectively giving “faux intelligence” enough to our operation, to the extent that we could, then, optionally, interactively ask for user entered answers to the SVG Quiz Questions asked (and keep track of a score for those “quiz interactives” out there).

And did you know, at least for non-mobile platforms, you can set the focus (on non-mobile platforms only, as there are the “keyboard getting in the way” issues we’re thankful for with mobile platforms which preclude any thoughts of a programmed [element].focus() operation) to one of these “contenteditable=true style elements”?

To usefully offer automation ideas for our Animated GIF Creator we need more flexibility regarding how the watermarks are presented. Get good with this, and this automation of Animated GIF creations could be quite productive. And so, in a similar line of thinking to yesterday’s Animated GIF SVG Quiz Argument Tutorial, today, we offer the user one new “get” titledown URL argument to work with a toggling Watermark Positioning arrangement, between the default top way and the new bottom way, with our input type=color Colour Picker we have going for the user to select a Watermark Colour. For the first time ever, we use …

The automation measures in yesterday’s Animated GIF Creation Transparency Tutorial get an “arguments consideration” (maybe a five minute one, or perhaps ten minutes for “the outraged”) to help out ideas for our aspirational readers and users out there, who we are always keen to motivate, this Animated GIF Creator project potentially linked to user productivity, at its best.

If we want to improve automation ideas for these Animated GIF creations we need to use (initially ? and & “get”) arguments up at the web browser address bar for our exploratory user to not only allow for definition of …

  • their hTTp style animated GIF slide content basis (in a “get” irefresh labelled optional argument) … but as of today, how about …
    1. new “get” dimensions labelled optional argument defines the output Animated GIF dimensions in terms of width,height … eg. 300,600
    2. new “get” title labelled optional argument defines the wording of the watermark style Animated GIF title (basis) … eg. My+Animated+GIF
    3. new “get” titlecolour labelled optional argument defines the colour of the watermark style Animated GIF title … eg. olive
    4. new “get” titlemode labelled optional argument defines the watermark style Animated GIF title mode … eg. All

    … and please do not forget an optional argument we’re always havingthat’s always been there …

  • the “get” delay labelled optional argument defining the delay between animated GIF slides … eg. 800

? That would complete some pictures out there, we’re hoping?!

Does this feel like a step sideways to you, “the regular reader”? We’d agree, and are a little surprised a revisit (to this project) shows this need, but there you are. Sometimes, revisits help clarify!

  • image transparency … in terms of the image being an Animated GIF slide … via …
  • SVG … or …
  • canvas

… deserves our consideration, we’ve decided, today … because …

We’ll just try our best here, but we have discovered a nuance that hadn’t tweaked with us before, considering “transparency” and using “canvas” elements. The …

  • [canvasElementContext].clearRect(0, 0, [canvasWidth], [canvasHeight]); // idea causes the canvas to become transparent ... different to the other concept like ...
  • [canvasElementContext].fillStyle='white';

It’s affected two “avenues of effect” (or is this a book?!) with our Animated GIF Creator logic …

  1. if a SVG+xml element data URI utf8 format representation mentions the word “transparent” we are now going to make the relevant helper canvas element background be transparent …

    imgc.src = rurl;
    }

    … and …
  2. the “+” means by which we involve our Scribble and Annotation helper (of animated GIF slide content) now has a new button (with its onclick event function) to ask about its main canvas element background colour …

    var huhcol=prompt('Enter canvas background colour or Cancel to ignore.', 'transparent');

    //alert(987);
    //alert('topielem.width=' + topielem.width);

The PHP GD library we use to help create animated GIFs (along with a whole lot of other help, it goes without saying) is not into vector graphics which is what …

  • Inkscape … as a vector graphics editor … and …
  • SVG … ie. Scalable Vector Graphics

… are really into … ooooohhh, aaaaahhhh … but luckily for us, the great ImageMagick offers functionality to convert a SVG image file into a PNG image file, via …

Non Windows Windows
convert infile.svg outfile.png magick.exe infile.svg outfile.png

  2. create animated GIF of “current snapshot looks” of a series of URLs of interest (with even more currency than Google Earth shows your place!)

It might be you design an animated GIF chapter of slides and always want to follow it up with a “further reading” webpage you could present as a QR Code or Webpage Screenshot.

Animated GIF Slide Extraction Reveal Tutorial

Animated GIF Slide Extraction Reveal Tutorial

Animated GIF Slide Extraction Reveal Tutorial

Around here, we’re not ashamed to simplify 90% of web design issues into two categories …

  1. an “overlay” issue … or …
  2. a “reveal” issue

… and today’s improvements, pitted against the progress up until yesterday’s Animated GIF Slide Extraction Absolute URL Tutorial, pitted these two “colossuses” (at least in our mind) against each other as concept ideas towards today’s work’s solution. Which wins? We opted for a “reveal” solution, where the initial position is “reveal”.

We could have “overlayed” but we went for the KISS (“keep it simple simpleton”) principle, where, what you see at the top of a webpage takes prominence for the user. The thing is, though, in this alternate input section, we are not fussed that it stays around, hence the details/summary “reveal” way a user can make it disappear at any given point in time.

Here’s the thing, though, a details/summary “reveal” pairing has that “summary” innerHTML content part that can remain, no matter what, as a status informer mechanism we’re hoping helps out the “formerly obtuse” web application ways of our Animated GIF Extraction web application, in a changed fourth draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), which you can try below.

  • browsed for local animated GIF file of interest … is today’s …
  • absolute URL pointing to a domain not the same as the address bar domain of use

As you might guess this last option for the user may not work for a domain with very high security, but being as hotlinking images makes the Internet woooorrrrllllddd go around perhaps the user can try this underlying curl based logic out, to see with a changed third draft extract_ag_slide_huh_of.html Animated GIF Slide Extraction web application (or Animated GIF Slide Extraction via User Interaction web application version), try below.

TimeZone Places Nearest Places Tweak Tutorial

TimeZone Places Nearest Places Tweak Tutorial

TimeZone Places Nearest Places Tweak Tutorial

When we presented GeoJson World Countries Drag and Drop Makeover Nuance Tutorial we tweaked our inhouse TimeZone Places PHP web application. But it needs a “re-tweak”.

In that Nearest Places form part of the TimeZone places webpage, we noticed that even when shaping to enter a TimeZone Placename in the first textbox we made no attempt to fill in …

  • latitude
  • longitude

… when we have the information to do so, and even if we’re misunderstanding a placename designation, that should not stop us from trying, because those two numerical fields above can be corrected, and the form resubmitted, in these scenarios.

Apart from making a PHP derived Javascript variable be made available to the code, we “wrap”

<?php

$otherform="<br><br><iframe id=nearestif name=nearestif style=display:none; src=about:none></iframe><div id=nearest></div><form target=nearestif action=./tz_places.php method=GET style=background-color:#f0f0f0;>Place: <input onblur=\" if (this.value.length > 0) { document.getElementById('nearestif').src=perhapsfillin('./tz_places.php?latitude=&longitude=&place=' + encodeURIComponent(this.value)); } \" type=text id=nplace name=place value=></input> Latitude: <input type=number id=latitude name=latitude value=0.0000 max=90.0000 min=-90.0000 step=0.0001></input> Longitude: <input type=number id=longitude name=longitude value=0.0000 max=180.0000 min=-180.0000 step=0.0001></input><br><input style=background-color:orange; type=submit id=inearest value='Nearest TimeZone Places'></input></form>";

?>

… the “a” link content call via …

<?php echo ”

function perhapsfillin(inidea) {
// './tz_places.php?latitude=&longitude=&place=' + encodeURIComponent(this.value))
var outidea=inidea;
if (inidea.indexOf('place=') != -1) {
var inplaceis=decodeURIComponent(inidea.split('place=')[1].split('&')[0].split('#')[0]);
// +07'>Asia/Tomsk</option><option value='Europe/London' data-geo='51.5074,-0.1278,BST,GB,+0'>Europe/London</
if (yourtzlist.toLowerCase().indexOf('/' + inplaceis.toLowerCase().replace(/\ /g,'_') + '<') != -1) {
document.getElementById('latitude').value='' + eval('' + yourtzlist.toLowerCase().split('/' + inplaceis.toLowerCase().replace(/\ /g,'_') + '<')[0].split(' data-geo=')[eval(-1 + yourtzlist.toLowerCase().split('/' + inplaceis.toLowerCase().replace(/\ /g,'_') + '<')[0].split(' data-geo=').length)].substring(1).split(',')[0]).toPrecision(6);
document.getElementById('longitude').value='' + eval('' + yourtzlist.toLowerCase().split('/' + inplaceis.toLowerCase().replace(/\ /g,'_') + '<')[0].split(' data-geo=')[eval(-1 + yourtzlist.toLowerCase().split('/' + inplaceis.toLowerCase().replace(/\ /g,'_') + '<')[0].split(' data-geo=').length)].substring(1).split(',')[1]).toPrecision(6);
outidea=outidea.replace('latitude=' + inidea.split('latitude=')[1].split('&')[0].split('#')[0], 'latitude=' + document.getElementById('latitude').value);
outidea=outidea.replace('longitude=' + inidea.split('longitude=')[1].split('&')[0].split('#')[0], 'longitude=' + document.getElementById('longitude').value);
}

return outidea;

GeoJson World Countries Drag and Drop Makeover Nuance Tutorial

Nuance alert! We’re not sure if you noticed, but if you tried out the Drag and Drop functionality in the World Countries web application of yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Drag and Drop Makeover Tutorial you may have noticed …

  • for a country with lots of TimeZone places, like Brazil, you could get a decent Google Chart Geo Chart map up … but if you were to click the “Map?” link down the bottom of that iframe …
  • it would fail to show a Google Chart Map Chart for that country’s TimeZone places

This fix, believe it or not, is interesting, perhaps only in an “internal use only” sense, we grant you. But our solution got us delving even more into hashtagging data, so that the solution we came up with was a hybrid whereby …

  • stayed with PHP $_GET[] (ie. address bar ? and & argumented) data (versus using PHP $_POST[] methodologies) … but …
  • where it came to the &data=[most of the data] part, other than its first character, we hashtagged the rest

… so that the logic flows as per usual, but we intervene at places and flesh it out via location.hash (client side only) means. We won’t bore you too much with all the places of intervention except the receiving map.php’s “easiest to get” intervention

GeoJson World Countries Drag and Drop Makeover Tutorial

In a similar vein to the recent GeoJson World Coastlines Drag and Drop Makeover Tutorial, today, we have got a mild makeover happening with the Drag and Drop functionality related to GeoJson World Countries web application usage.

In addition to the Wikipedia information, at the very least, presented following a successful drag and drop operation, from today, we also start presenting a new HTML iframe element containing …

Nearest TimeZone places along with Google Charts for each unique country involved

… used by that changed TimeZone Places tz_places.php helped out by the changed external Javascript countries.js external Javascript all called by our unchanged GeoJson World Countries web application.

The work from that last makeover helped, and today the changes involve …

In tz_places.php start doing what you did for regions.php now for countries.php
<?php

echo "<!doctype html><html><body onload=\"if (('' + top.document.URL).replace('/countries.','/regions.').indexOf('/regions.') != -1) { if (document.getElementById('snearest')) { document.getElementById('snearest').style.left='0px'; } }\" style='background-color:yellow;" . $backstyle . "'><h1>Nearest Timezones ... RJM Programming ... April, 2018 ... <a target=_blank title='Thanks to ...' href='//php.net/manual/en/datetimezone.getlocation.php'>//php.net/manual/en/datetimezone.getlocation.php</a></h1><br><br><br>" . $pd . $ret . "</body></html>";

?>
And in countries.js intervene in the dragover event

target.addEventListener("dragover", (ev) => {
console.log("dragOver");
if (window.parent) {
if (parent.document.URL.indexOf('/countries.') != -1) {
var ftables=parent.document.getElementsByTagName('table');
if (eval('' + ftables.length) > 0) {
if (ftables[0].innerHTML.indexOf('lastrow') == -1) {
ftables[0].innerHTML+='<tr id=lastrow><td><iframe id=lastif style=display:none;width:100%;height:900px; src="/PHP/tz_places.php"></iframe></td></tr>';
}
}
}
}

ev.preventDefault();
});
Intervene again, where applicable

if (parent.document.URL.indexOf('/regions.') != -1) {
window.open('/PHP/tz_places.php?place=&latitude=' + encodeURIComponent('' + parent.derivethislat(pos4)) + '&longitude=' + encodeURIComponent('' + parent.derivethislong(pos3)) + '&ntztontz=y','_blank','top=180,left=' + eval(-350 + screen.width) + ',width=350,height=600');
} else {
if (parent.document.getElementById('lastif')) {
parent.document.getElementById('lastif').style.display='block';
parent.document.getElementById('lastif').src='/PHP/tz_places.php?place=&latitude=' + encodeURIComponent('' + parent.derivethislat(pos4)) + '&longitude=' + encodeURIComponent('' + parent.derivethislong(pos3)) + '&ntztontz=y';
}

window.open('//wikipedia.org/wiki/' + encodeURIComponent(tdid.replace(/\ /g,'_')),'_blank','top=180,left=' + eval(-350 + screen.width) + ',width=350,height=600');
}

At first …

  • we wanted the first popup window content be aligned to the top and left … and then …
  • we thought it would be good to also, in “Drag and Drop land”, relevant countries nearby to the user’s drop point TimeZone Places be showing below that (and it panned out the best way to show this, for us, was via an iframe pointing at another incarnation of the tz_places.php webpage, because it could have GET arguments iso, iso2, iso3 etcetera to point at ISO 2 letter country codes, which we made more readily available (via a new data-cc global data attribute applied to the select option subelements presented) for the changed external Javascript countries.js we decided should get into the mix via a new Javascript function …

    function tzagain(inhtml) {

… that superfluous looking ?rand=blah measure being pretty useful really regarding getting around the cache keeping old external Javascript in its mind after changes.

Curiously, the grandparent regions.php starting off all this needed no changing! We hope you like these tweaks!

GeoJson World Coastlines Drag and Drop Tutorial

The primary aim of today’s work, onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Drag and Drop on iPad Tutorial iPad integration is to …

  • add similar drag and drop logic into our World Coastlines GeoJson web application … and along the way, also for the World Countries web application …
  • hold off involving the (pretty kludgy looking) vertical scrollbar of our drag and drop pin’s underlying HTML iframe …

    <iframe scrolling=no frameborder=0 name=iftr id=iftr style=display:none; srcdoc="<body style=background-color:transparent;><p id=mg title='Wikipedia country page below via drag and drop to world map' draggable='true'>📍</p><br><br><div id=myh1></div><script type='text/javascript' src='./countries.js?rand=321156747657' defer></script></body>" data-src=></iframe>

    … until the first drag operation starting, calls on …

    parent.document.getElementById('iftr').scrolling='yes';

    … proving a Javascript DOM control of the “scrolling” attribute works (as we weren’t sure, having never done this before)

It’s worth beavering away at a guinea pig web application until (just about complete) satisfaction (for now) before having a parallel set of code changes happening simultaneously, we’ve always found.

So, what happened in “external Javascript land”? No need for a “regions.js” here, as parent.document.URL can be scrutinised in that “external Javascript land” to discover which web application is the parent, and act accordingly. So changed were our changed external Javascript countries.js in …

  • our GeoJson World Countries web application Drag and Drop logic worked on an iPhone … but …
  • our GeoJson World Countries web application Drag and Drop logic did not work on an iPad

They’re both iOS! And usually the smaller iPhone has the problem and the larger iPad is okay when there is an odd scenario happening. So, what gives? Well, the odd thing is, it was just rearrangements of code and iframe srcdoc usage


<iframe frameborder=0 name=iftr id=iftr style=display:none; srcdoc="<body style=background-color:transparent;><p id=mg title='Wikipedia country page below via drag and drop to world map' draggable='true'>📍</p><br><br><div id=myh1></div><script type='text/javascript' src='./countries.js?rand=321156747657' defer></script></body>" data-src=></iframe>

… that ended up helping us fix the issues. Figure this, on iPad our emoji pin could not be made visible down the bottom left of iPad screen but could be made to work in the title elements section?! Of course, we might have been having a bad day, but in our defence, even debugging in Safari via …

GeoJson World Drag and Drop Google Tutorial

We often turn to what we like to call …

  • “long hover” (ie. on non-mobile, wait for a long while after the onmouseover event initiation to see whether the user is still hovering) … and today, a bit like that, is the new, for us …
  • “long drag” (the user waits a long time between the drag initialization and the drop event)

… and because we found “dawdling” on a drag and drop fairly unnatural, we think this “long drag” idea “has legs”, in that it works well as a deliberate act made by a user, knowing at the end they benefit from their actions. For us, with our GeoJSON Map web application, yesterday, with GeoJson World Drag and Drop Pin Tutorial, the drag and drop led to …

GeoJson World Coastline Function Noun Naming Tutorial

GeoJson World Coastline Function Noun Naming Tutorial

We’re working on an extension to yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline Rivers Quiz Tutorial‘s Rivers Quiz functionality within our GeoJson World Coastlines web application, and have …

  • settled on an approach … but …
  • not yet finished on deployment issues

… but it is this approach we wanted to talk about today.

Our approach borrows from Object Oriented Programming (OOP) the idea that …

  • just as with OOP thinking class names are like nouns and the methods within that class are like verbs … we, with our approach
  • help readability of our non-OOP functional code by including those nouns and verbs, as well as ideas like use of plurals to indicate array involvement, with our Javascript function naming

… we can best illustrate to you via showing you new functions and variables and modified code to show you this approach in code …

GeoJson World Coastline Rivers Quiz Tutorial

It’s time to turn our attention away from GeoJson World Countries, as talked about with yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Plotted Ports Tutorial, and back to GeoJson World Coastline ideas. Why? We want to add a …


Rivers Quiz

… via the (generously provided) HTTP://geojson.xyz rivers lake centerlines GeoJSON data we download and then uploaded to become rivers.geojson data file. Now we were wondering out of …

  • use the URL to this GeoJSON file as the “src” attribute of an HTML iframe …

    <iframe id=ifrivers onload=getthejson(this); style=display:none; src=./rivers.geojson></iframe>

    … element (and then access the content via the onload event …

    var rivers='', arivers=[], iguess=-1, isofar=' ', jscore=0, jgoes=0, elema=null, contexta=null, rectisleft=0, rectistop=0;

    function getthejson(iois) {
    var aconto = (iois.contentWindow || iois.contentDocument);
    if (aconto != null) {
    if (aconto.document) { aconto = aconto.document; }
    if (aconto.body != null) {
    rivers='' + aconto.body.innerHTML;
    setTimeout(populaterivers, 500);
    }
    }
    }

    … function) would suffice, or if we would end up using …
  • Ajax call

… to access this data, and were a bit surprised the former method was all fine. Of course there are snazzy inbuilt Javascript hierarchical calls you can make to process the data, but we find, with GeoJSON data, in the client realm (where we’re keen to stay with today’s work (though PHP serverside can, of course, be purloined to do all this work, should you have that available)), of Javascript, we just need very basic string functions …

  • split (versus PHP explode)
  • index (versus PHP strpos)
  • substring (versus PHP substr)
  • replace (versus PHP str_replace)
  • push (versus PHP array_push)

… to get by processing …


var rivers='', arivers=[], iguess=-1, isofar=' ', jscore=0, jgoes=0, elema=null, contexta=null, rectisleft=0, rectistop=0;

… the (ever so) consistent GeoJSON data!

The progress with GeoJson World Countries helped too. We knew to add another HTML canvas layer as per

  • document.body (now with the new onmousemove=airportplot(event); event logic) lowest level …

GeoJson World Countries Plotted Ports Tutorial

There are a few interesting aspects to today’s extension of functionality onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Plotted Airports Tutorial‘s GeoJson World Countries web application …

  • where to modularise … we think “data collection” commonality is a good reason, and so we make these changes to intair.php
  • making an (“animated emoji”) button dual purpose on top of originally being a single purpose button …

    <sub title='Show Nearby Airports' onclick='doair=how(true,this); twothousand*=2; this.title=this.title.substring(0,4) + String.fromCharCode(105) + String.fromCharCode(110) + String.fromCharCode(103) + this.title.replace(this.title.split(String.fromCharCode(32))[0] + String.fromCharCode(32), String.fromCharCode(32));' data-type=9992 style=cursor:pointer; id=portsub>&#9992;</sub>

    … working with the intairsuffix global variable that could add a new GET argument where both the “port” label in &port=[value] and that [value] can affect behaviour from the intair.php PHP helper tool above …

    var intairsuffix='', zhra=null, zhrb=null, kklat=0, kklong=0, doair=false, vsll=[-999.0], answered=true;

    function how(atr, isub) {
    var curgd=isub.getAttribute('data-type');
    if (('' + curgd) == '9992') { // airport
    if (intairsuffix != '') {
    intairsuffix='&port=air';
    isub.title='Showing Nearby Airports and Ports';
    document.getElementById('title').value='Nearby Timezone Places and Airports and Ports';
    }
    } else if (('' + curgd) == '128674') { // port
    if (intairsuffix == '') {
    if (doair) {
    intairsuffix='&port=air';
    isub.title='Showing Nearby Airports and Ports';
    document.getElementById('title').value='Nearby Timezone Places and Airports and Ports';
    } else {
    intairsuffix='&port=y';
    isub.title='Showing Nearby Ports';
    document.getElementById('title').value='Nearby Timezone Places and Ports';
    }
    }
    }
    return true;
    }

    function feedhow() {
    var isub=document.getElementById('portsub');
    var curgd=isub.getAttribute('data-type');
    if (('' + curgd) == '9992') { // airport
    isub.innerHTML='&#128674;';
    isub.setAttribute('data-type', '128674');
    } else if (('' + curgd) == '128674') { // port
    isub.innerHTML='&#9992;';
    isub.setAttribute('data-type', '9992');

Adding to the “zoom” progress of yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries Zoom Tutorial, today, we wanted to …

  • add interfacing functionality to the excellent Google Directions part of Google Maps, perhaps to help with Trip planning, or even just to associate a Placename with a latitude and longitude as clicked by the user, via the very simple URL arrangement …

    … helped out by new Javascript functions …

    … and …
  • add some hashtag navigation (fairly self explanatory emoji button ) ideas now that our GeoJson world map can be zoomed in on

… in our changed countries.php web application you can also try below.

GeoJson World Countries Zoom Tutorial

GeoJson World Countries Zoom Tutorial

Onto yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries TimeZone Times Tutorial GeoJson World Countries web application’s capabilities we want to add zooming, that doesn’t rely on web browser functionality (which continues to work). With that in mind we create a new emoji ( &#128270; ) 🔎 link, with this onclick event code …


var jzoom=1.0, izoom=location.search.split('zoom=')[1] ? eval(decodeURIComponent(location.search.split('zoom=')[1].split('&')[0])) : 1.0;

function zoomin() {
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/Android|BlackBerry|iPhone|iPad|iPod|Opera Mini|IEMobile/i)) {
jzoom*=2;
document.getElementById('myviewport').setAttribute('content', 'width=device-width, initial-scale=' + eval(jzoom * izoom) + ', minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes');
window.scrollTo(0,0);
} else {
document.body.style.zoom=('' + eval(izoom * 200.0) + '%');
izoom*=2;
}
}

… to multiply the webpage zoom factor in a programmatical way. To acheive this, we have a two way approach (as you might have surmised from above) …

  • for mobile, the logic is easier by introducing a new meta name=viewport …

    <meta id="myviewport" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=0.1, maximum-scale=8, user-scalable=yes" >

    … tag … while …
  • for non-mobile we needed to realize that event.pageX and event.pageY co-ordinates grow in proportion to the zoom factor, and that better latitude and longitude determining lines of code would go

    function canvasclick(e) {
    var rectis=document.body.getBoundingClientRect();
    var topllong=-180.0;
    var topllat=90.0;

GeoJson World Countries TimeZone Times Tutorial

Some readers might be aware of our “theory regarding adverbs” and “web applications” on the net …

  • the most catered for adverb relates to the “where of life” … and the second banana is …
  • the “when of life”

… and, further to yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Safari Error Tutorial‘s emphasis on the “where of life”, today we add in a bit of the “when of life”, something right down the line of the remit of TimeZone talents.

Seriously though, a lot of us dream of the rest of the world on a world map, and wonder what time it is in other parts of the world. Phone call to relatives? A reminder SMS call? Email a game collaboration? It could all be part of life’s rich tapestry!

The expresion of this, for us, today, improving the communications with our current GeoJsom World Countries web application, take the form of emoji clocks from the 12 hour clock example forms such as …

  • 1 o’clock is &#128336; 🕐
  • 2 o’clock is &#128337; 🕑
  • 12 o’clock is &#128347; 🕛
  • 2:30 is &#128349; 🕝
  • 11:30 is &#128358; 🕦
  • 12:30 is &#128359; 🕧

… to show in “prompt” and “confirm” popup windows, as well as Map Chart maps … via new Javascript functions …

GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Safari Error Tutorial

Mostly on smaller devices (such as an iPhone), but elsewhere as well, but less drastically, this morning, using our current Display GeoJson Countries web application we would get the Safari web browser error …

A problem repeatedly occurred with https://www.rjmprogramming.com.au/HTMLCSS/countries.php

… with web application work up to yesterday’s GeoJson World Countries SVG Overlay Colour Infill Tutorial.

On discovering our first solution theory of turning yesterday’s mapsvg.js external Javascript work into an async piece of work made no difference to this situation, we surmised that the huge amount of content held in the Javascript (ie. client side) global variable appendtoinnerHTML was causing memory issues. We couldn’t shift much to do with the overall amount of “data” needing to be handled, in order to implement country SVG colour infilling, but we could shift the data from being …

  • client side (external) Javascript held … to, instead, (have that data) be (determined on the) …
  • server side PHP filling in the contents of our (relevant) HTML div id=svgd ahead of the document.body onload event timing …

    … meaning the web application’s underlying HTML size increased at the expense of no need for external Javascript involvement any more

We’re not exactly sure why, but …

  • this improved web application stability …

    …everywhere … and an idea we’d ditched yesterday of …
  • idea to pre-colour “land” parts of the world GeoJson map green (ahead of the document.body onload event) also came good (after causing problems yesterday)

… meaning now, “overlay” wise, we could say

  • document.body lowest level …
  • overlayed by HTML canvas element plotted with world country linework …
  • overlayed by HTML img (transparent image) element and its associated image map area elements … and today we add into the mix …
  • HTML div hosting SVG elements overlaying initialized with “land” parts green infilled SVG at a mid range z-index (only as well as when called upon) individual GeoJson entities overlay

… and we (reckon we’ve) improved the colour coding user experience at the same time.

There are many advantages regarding today’s task to …

Integrate Google Chart Geo Chart

What deducible data item needs to be determined for these Geo Charts to work?

… in our image map area elements PHP creation code above. As you can see, extra “intelligence”, moving forward, is contained in area element global data attributes.

Which leaves us with why any of this helps functionality within our changed countries.php web application you can also try below?

  • Geo Chart can zoom into a country view …
  • Geo Chart can involve emoji (🏠 &127968;) or image (SVG) circle based symbology for the “User Clicked Place” and nearby TimeZone places respectively …
  • all these symbols can be clicked to open popup windows containing TimeZone Place Wikipedia webpages of relevance …
  • an emoji national flag (eg. Zambia “ZA” could be used to derive &#127487;&#127462; 🇿🇦 flag emoji) derived from those ISO-2 character codes can supplement the GeoJson (more ISO-3 character based) names presented in the underlying data, in the Geo Chart title …
  • contextualizing the accompanying Map Chart … and …
  • vice versa regarding hovering over symbology (which works on Map Chart, but not Geo Chart) …
  • within the Map Chart iframe a “Geo” link can glean a “zoomed out” world Geo Chart view of your TimeZone places

Know your GeoJson! Yes, pretty obviously, any two GeoJson datasets might display the same in that “map plotting” sense, but one might have different and/or more “intelligence” than the other. Often, an XML has more “intelligence” than equivalent HTML (barring the use of global data attributes, that is), as today’s Corollacorollary.

And so, moving on from yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline TimeZone Tutorial, today, we present a new GeoJson admin 0 countries we download, and upload as “countries.geojson” data set, again via the excellent HTTP://geojson.xyz/ repository, thanks.

From it, we do get a different JSON additional “intelligence”

GeoJson World Coastline TimeZone Tutorial

Luckily for programmers all over, the organization of TimeZones has had an International flavour in its development and maintenance. As such, given the “purely coastline” GeoJson data involved in our fledgling PHP web application of yesterday’s GeoJson World Coastline Primer Tutorial a useful arrangement for improvement involves …

  • document.body onclick event co-ordinates … able to be converted to …
  • longitude, latitude (easily, only because of our simplistic map projection, of course) … onfed to …
  • our inhouse “TimeZone Places” web application PHP helper
