Zoom_R

Return data about the current map view and levels of magnification

Syntax

Zoom_R <ScenarioPath> {DataOption} [<WinNumber>]

Description

The Zoom_R command returns information about the magnification of a Map's view, including how many zoom operations have been performed to get the current Map view and the current view's latitude and longitude values.

You can optionally enter <WinNumber> which is the number of the 2D window for which information will be returned. If not entered then the first 2D window will used.

{DataOption} can be:

{DataOption} <Parameters> and Description
Layers Returns number of layers you're zoomed in, where 0 is the original view (not magnified)
Coordinates Returns the current window coordinates as four real numbers: minimum latitude, maximum latitude, minimum longitude, and maximum longitude.
CoordAdjust Returns the current window coordinates as four real numbers: minimum latitude, maximum latitude, minimum longitude, and maximum longitude, adjusted for the current map projection.

Note: Coordinates are most accurate with flat projections (e.g. equidistant cylindrical, etc).

All <Latitude> and <Longitude> values are returned in degrees.

Example

To find out how many times you've zoomed in to get the current Map view in Map window #1:

Zoom_R * Layers 1

To get the latitude and longitude values for the current view in Map View #2:

Zoom_R * Coordinates
