I trying to make an application where I want to display multiple floorplans with resolution up to 10000 x 10000 Pixel.
If I directly host the map on an imagecontrol I will need some time to load and consumes approx. 500MB.
On these maps I want to place up to 10000 Icons or Buttons (Doors, several electronic devices, etc.).
These items should show their states dynamically by changing color and text.
What is the best way to realize this?
I know that it could be done with Silverlight Deepzoom, but that seems to be obsolet. Could this be done with a maps api like bing maps api?
Best regards!

I wouldn't ask if I had not searched a way for the whole day - so my problem is, that i have multiple raster files (>300) that show different flooding of cells in each iteration step (so not strictly a time series, but close). I want to display the results on a hillshade (that remains the same) of every raster and export it to a png. My goal is to animate them using one layout in ArcGIS Pro, where only the active raster layer should change on every export and then animate the exported png files to one GIF or video file!
How is this possible in ArcGIS Pro 2.8?? Or QGIS?
ArcGIS Pro Animation tools are not working for this scenario (because I dont have feature classes and/or time series data) and QGIS seems to only work with change of extents in Atlas (or time series with time data as well). In ArcMap there used to be a tool called Group Animation, which does exactly what i want to do ...
Any ideas? Maybe a python script? Any hints on that?
Very appreciated!

I have tried out the ArcGIS Pro Animation tools which apparently need time series data or feature classes (which I dont have). QGIS Atlas also seems to only work with varying the extent of the image on every iteration...
I am creating simple application for altering an image projected by projector.
I would like that projected image to be different than the desktop.
Consider simple example. My application would take a print-screen and add some bitmap to it. Than it will displayed on the projector. While original image on notebook monitor is the same, the projected image will contain this added bitmap.
I am using GDI for altering image the image in C++/CLI, and Windows Forms.
You just create two windows, and position one such that it's on the secondary display, and one such that it's on the primary display. There's nothing "magical" about the second monitor you have to mess with.
I'll add to what Billy said, and provide information that you should use Screens collection for that. It will give you exact coordinates of each screen that is available on the system.

I've been asked to create a stand-alone site/app that's not connected to the web (all on a local server).
One part of it is to have a map of a natural reserve with a bunch of links that will show footpaths, different animals habitat areas, visitor centres and such.
So there's a map (static picture) and when you click on it some overlay goes on top of it.
At least that's the way I see it now.
I've looked here: http://www.carto.net/williams/yosemite/ but it just looks mucho ugly.
Getting Maps Premium is not an option as it's not that cheap. And the reason they don't want to use Maps/Earth free API is because internet connection is still very slow there (sattelite internet only and when optic cable will be hooked up nobody knows).
Looking for some recommendations as to how to proceed there. Drawing paths/areas on the picture of the maps seems extremely insufficient and time consuming.
I'd need some way to use coordinates to automatically draw areas and lines over the map (and then somehow export that as a graphis file (or SVG) that'll be layered on top of original map simply using ajax.
Will ARCGIS pro edition be the way to go or should I start learning SVG. Do you know some good SVG books/tutorials (as related to mapping)? Maybe there's some other way around altogether...
They do have detailed maps of the area in ARCGIS (whatever format they are in I don't know yet).
Just looking for some ideas, any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Do you know GeoServer? More or less all-in-one, compatible with different types of datasets, widely customisable.
Starting from "raw" SVG and write the whole thing yourself will probably be prohibitively time consuming.
If you have very little data (say less than 50 geometries) that is fixed, you could also use OpenLayers without any backend server.
For the data you could use a OpenLayers.Layer.Image if your (overlay-) map consists of a small raster image. For vector data, you can use OpenLayers.Layer.Text or a OpenLayers.Layer.Vecor together with protocols OpenLayers.Layer.KML or .JSON.
You can click through the current release examples.
I admit that this is not an easy task for a beginner, but it's fun hacking the maps together.
I'm developing a test application in which I need to:
a) Draw some paths from downloaded data. I have a REST/JSON server whith these data and my little app can consume it without any problem. The paths are downloaded once and that's all.
b) Draw pushpins, circles, whatever at some locations BUT their locations can change in real-time. The Silverlight app must ask the REST server for updates in these points in order to update the shapes in the map. The REST provides the "last know position" by default, so this location is what I want to display dynamically.
My question is: which is the simplest way to achieve b)? I'm quite a rookie at Silverlight, so I don´t know if it has some 'automatic-obvious' way to do this automatic update. Do I need some 'timer' to consume the service, a local list of locations and bindings between shapes and these locations?
Thank you in advance!
I would say you're on the right track.
I would create an ObservableCollection of a data model that represents the locations, and bind that to the Bing MapControl. Then create a DataTemplate (probably based on PushPin) that will visually represent how you want the data point to look on the map. The paths can be created with MapPolyLines
Since you're communicating with a REST server, I think your best option for updating the points to have a Timer object like you mentioned, and perform a call to update the ObservableCollection every time that fires.
Hope this helps!
I want to create wayfinder/pathfinder mobile application. it will route visitors in our buildings. we have 20 buildings and each at least have 4 floor.
We want to develop our own wayfinder ex:http://www.wayfinderkiosk.com/
It should use Lat/Long coordinates to locate the people. and help to find its route.
So where should i start. Does any one have any idea for that. and it is going to be mobile.
I can develop app/site based on these platforms ( Mobile Web/Iphone/Adroid /Symbian/Windows )
But i need a start point. and i need your help.
Thanks
You want to use lat/long inside of a building? Assuming these visitors are going to be using their own unmodified devices, you may have trouble with GPS. Unless you somehow get reliable GPS signal despite being under a four-story building, that's probably not going to work.
An RFID-tagged badge and sensors placed throughout the building seems more likely to work. Put a unique QR-code on each badge that directs the phone's browser to a tracking page for that specific badge.
edit: and now that I re-read your question and see that multiple buildings are involved, the GPS bit could certainly work for routing them from one building to another.
