Perhaps someone can rig
Oceanic tool to work with entropedia instead? It uses XML.
In the first paragraph "It is an Adobe Flash based, stand-alone application for Windows". That's three (four) show-stoppers in just the first paragraph.
But on the subject, how hard could it be to whip up some software for this that hardly affect CPU load on the server?
From my understanding, the requirements are:
- Tiles. A larger image is split up in smaller tiles.
- Mipmapped.
- User clicks map, map zooms in.
- User holds some mouse button and drags mouse, map pan's.
- User turns mouse-wheel (or click +/- on a zoom widget), map zoom's.
- Dynamic overlay of markers/icons. (*)
- Perhaps a vector layer (AntiGrain).
(*) If this is done client-side, no problem. If server-side, it could unfortunately induce quite a bit of overhead to (re)compress composed images before sending them over the wire. Not having had the need to do image composition in HTML, is this something that can be done client-side? With addition of a tiny amount of JavaScript?
Thoughts? Feasible?
