Mapbox directions - check distance from routes - distance

I'm using mapbox direction for draw route between two points. I need to check distance from this route to some other marker on map.
code for directions. Thanks.
var directions = L.mapbox.directions({
profile: 'mapbox.driving'
});
directions.setOrigin(L.latLng(lat1, long1));
directions.setDestination(L.latLng(lat2 , long2));
directions.query();
var directionsLayer = L.mapbox.directions.layer(directions).addTo(map);
var directionsRoutesControl = L.mapbox.directions.routesControl('routes', directions)
.addTo(map)

Check the response from the directions query the Route object. The response is an array of n routes. And in the response is distance: Number indicating the distance traveled in meters
You can also use the Mapbox Command Line Interface to see the responses from the directions query. This particular query gives a response of "distance": 642
mapbox-cli> mapbox directions "[-79.4460, 43.6656]" "[-79.4434, 43.6602]"

Leaflet convert meters to pixels

I am creating an app using leaflet
I have the leaflet map up and running and have a Geoserver service that return points that are shown on the map.
I have one additional field that is distance between my Points on the Map and it is in meters ?
My question is how could I convert it to pixels? Is there any Leaflet function or anything ?
You can use this function with the L.GeometryUtil library.
L.GeometryUtil CDN
function disToPixeldistance(distance){
var l2 = L.GeometryUtil.destination(map.getCenter(),90,distance);
var p1 = map.latLngToContainerPoint(map.getCenter())
var p2 = map.latLngToContainerPoint(l2)
return p1.distanceTo(p2)
}
But think of that the pixel distance is changing every time you zoom

How to get the edge of a polygon drawn on map within Leaflet

I am working with Leaflet and Leaflet-Draw in Angular to draw some polygons on the Google Map. How can I implement a listener when the user clicks exactly on the edge of the drawn polygons and get the lat and lng of that edge. I know a similar situation can be implemented with Google Map API like the code below, but I can not find any source to help me implement the same thing in Leaflet.
google.maps.event.addListener(polygon, 'click', function (event) { console.log(event.edge) }
Google Map Documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/polygon#PolyMouseEvent
For those who come across this question: I found a solution myself!
I didn't find anything directly from Leaflet draw library that I could use, so I defined the problem for myself as a trigonometry problem and solve it that way.
I defined a function in which on polygon click, it converts the event.latlng and loops over polygon.getLatLngs()[0] taking a pair of A and B points. A is the first coordinates, B is the next and if it reaches to the end of array, B will be the first point. Then using Collinear Function of 3 points with x, y, I checked if the clicked x, y has a same slope as point A and B.(has to be rounded it up), if so, I would save that A and B point pair with their latLng information and further used it in my project.
Although this method works, I would appreciate if anybody would know a better solution or library built-in function that can be used instead. Thanks!
When the user clicks on the polygon you can loop through all corners and check if he clicked in the near of the corner.
poly.on('click', function(e){
var latlng = e.latlng;
var corners = poly.getLatLngs();
if(!L.LineUtil.isFlat(corners)){ //Convert to a flat array
corners = corners[0];
}
//Convert the point to pixels
var point = mymap.latLngToContainerPoint(latlng);
//Loop through each corner
corners.forEach(function(ll){
//Convert the point to pixels
var point1 = mymap.latLngToContainerPoint(ll);
var distance = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(point1.x - point.x, 2) + Math.pow(point.y - point1.y, 2));
//Check if distance between pixels is smaller then 10
if(distance < 10){
console.log('corner clicked');
}
});
});
This is plain JS you have to convert it self to angular.
A alternativ is to place on each corner a DivMarker or a CircleMarker and fire a event if the marker is clicked.

How to calculate location’s long/lat based on its bbox coordinates

please could anyone help?
I need to use a map.toFly() method to interpolate between 2 locations.
According to the Mapbox documentation, I need to pass in an object describing the destination I want to fly to. The object has to have a center property holding an array with centre Long/lat coordinates of the destination I need to be taken to.
https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/flyto/
My problem with implementing the method is that I only have bounding box coordinates of the 2 locations between which I need to interpolate . I can’t do something like this:
map.flyTo(bbox)
Does anyone know how to obtain
centre Long/lat coordinates of each location based on their bbox coordinates?
Assuming you have 2 LngLatBounds objects you can call the getCenter() method.
var point1 = bounds1.getCenter();
var point2 = bounds2.getCenter();
where both bounds1 and bounds2 are objects of the type LngLatBounds.
Check:
https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/#lnglatbounds#getcenter
Edit: for the values you gave in your comment it would be for the first bounds:
var sw1 = new mapboxgl.LngLat(110.2672863, -7.1144639);
var ne1 = new mapboxgl.LngLat(110.5088836, -6.9319917);
var bounds1 = new mapboxgl.LngLatBounds(sw1, ne1);
Note: Mapbox GL uses longitude, latitude coordinate order (as opposed to latitude, longitude).

Leaflet latLngToContainerPoint and containerPointToLatLng not reciprocal?

Anybody know why the following is not reciprocal? latLng and new
var point = dispmap.latLngToContainerPoint(latlng);
var newPoint = L.point([point.x, point.y]);
var newLatLng = dispmap.containerPointToLatLng(newPoint);
When I execute this code I send in latlng=(26.75529,-80.93581)
newLatLng, which by inspection of the code above I would expect to reciprocate gives back...
newLatLng = (26.75542,-80.93628)
I'm wanting to array some markers with identical lat-lons around the shared spot on a map, and bumping each by some screen coordinates looks like the best method based on some blog/issue reading I've done.
I'm, "close" to what I want to achieve, but as I try to validate what these leaflet calls are doing for me I hit the fundamental question above.
They can't be ...
Latitude and longitude are float values while x and y are integer values.
This means that there are an (theoretically) infinite number of latlng's and a rather small number of points on your view (width * height).
Furthermore, I'm not sure how you define identical latlng's; the best you can't to is to speak of proximity.
If I read between the lines, identical may mean that the markers overlap. Then the best way is to have a look how Leaflet.MarkerCluster are tackling with the problem.
I was able to achieve my desired result by altering zoom level to avoid pixel-point quantization effects on my translations. The screenshot below illustrates an orange and two green circle markers that represent an identical lat-lon, but I want the green arrayed around the orange in a circular fashion...in this example there are only 2 green.
I perform simple circular array math with an angular step size of PI/4 in this example. The KEY to getting the visual effect correct is the "dispmap.setZoom(dispmap._layersMaxZoom)" call BEFORE I do the math, and then I invoke "dispmap.setZoom(mats.zoom)" after the math, which will give the user the desired zoom level as specified by variable mats.zoom.
var arrayRad=20;
var dtheta=Math.PI/4;
var theta=0;
dispmap.setZoom(dispmap._layersMaxZoom)
L.geoJson(JSON.parse(mats.intendeds), {
pointToLayer: function (feature, latlng) {
var point = dispmap.latLngToContainerPoint(latlng);
dx = arrayRad*Math.cos(theta);
dy = arrayRad*Math.sin(theta);
theta += dtheta;
var newPoint = L.point([point.x + dx, point.y+ dy]);
var newLatLng = dispmap.containerPointToLatLng(newPoint);
return L.circleMarker(newLatLng, intendedDeliveryLocationMarkerOptions);
}, onEachFeature: onEachIntendedLocFeature }).addTo(dispmap);
dispmap.setZoom(mats.zoom);
Sample screen shot at max zoom level: 2 arrayed markers

Can I transform the embedded interactivity coordinate system result from lat lon to epsg 3857 (web mercator)?

When using the embedded interactivity embedded interactivity function on the iOS SDK I can click a map tile and get the data coords in LAT LON but I would like to have the result in EPSG 3857 WGS 84...is this possible? If so what is the transform command?
Looks like I am going to answer my own question. I could not find a transform function. So I passed the LAT LONG coordinate pair to the webservice and did the transformation on the server.
You can do this with Leaflet/Mapbox.
Here's an example
var latlng = L.latLng(45, -120);
var sphericalMercator = L.Projection.SphericalMercator.project(latlng);
sperhicalMercator.x => -2.0943951023931953
sphericalMercator.y => 0.8813735870195429
You'll still need to multiply these coordinates by 6378137 (earth's radius in meters) (why Leaflet doesn't do this, I don't know...), and you get the spherical mercator equivalent to the original lat/long (45, -120):
(-13358338.8952, 5621521.48619)
