getViewArea() Function

Introduced in version 1.5.0
Returns the limits of the visible area of the map window, given in either pixels or cell coordinates depending on the first parameter. The result is in a ";" delimited String as default or can be configured by setting the delimiter or using Json.

Usage

getViewArea()
getViewArea(pixels)
getViewArea(pixels, delim)

Parameters

  • pixels - if set to true (1) means the returned coordinates are measured in pixels. If set to false (0) the returned coordinates are measured in map cells. Defaults to true.
  • delim - if set to "json" means the returned coordinates are defined in JSON style. Otherwise a String property list is returning using delim as a delimiter. If set to false (0) the returned coordinates are measured in map cells. Defaults to ;.

Examples

Get the viewport dimensions of the current client:
Default pixels: [r: getViewArea()]
Cells: [r: getViewArea(0)]
Pixels: [r: getViewArea(1)]
Cells as JSON: [r: getViewArea(0, "json")]
Pixels as JSON: [r: getViewArea(1, "json")]
Cells as "," separated String properties: [r: getViewArea(0, ",")]
Pixels as ";" separated String properties: [r: getViewArea(1, ";")]

Results to:

Default pixels: offsetX=0; offsetY=0; width=886; height=616 
Cells: offsetX=0; offsetY=0; width=17; height=12 
Pixels: offsetX=0; offsetY=0; width=886; height=616 
Cells as JSON: {"offsetX":0,"offsetY":0,"width":886,"height":616} 
Pixels as JSON: {"offsetX":0,"offsetY":0,"width":886,"height":616} 
Cells as "," separated String properties: offsetX=0, offsetY=0, width=886, height=616 
Pixels as ";" separated String properties: offsetX=0; offsetY=0; width=886; height=616
