Change origin of canvas

I have to create a canvas that contains object with position in binding with latitude and longitude.

My canvas support element's drag and zooming but until now I have used always standard coordinate (from 0,0)

Now I have GPS coords and all objects overlap each other because GPS coord is for example between 45°11'00'N and 45°11'60N... so is basically 1px of distance if I can't solve this conve开发者_StackOverflow中文版rsion... also canvas starts from 0,0 and I have always 45 pixel of white space

I can retrive minimum left and top values and recalc the size but how can center all the objects in the canvas?

Was gonna do a blog post on this at some point and may still do. But - in short - I solved this issue just by writing my own panel that understands how to position children according to the mercator projection.

Some things to know before using it:

• you need to set MaxLatitude and MaxLongitude to whatever range is supported in your background image.
• I don't think it supports updates in both directions yet. I was planning to fix this prior to my blog post.

You use it like this:

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding YourItems}">
    <ListBox.Template>
        <ControlTemplate>
            <Border BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="1" Background="#CEE3FF">
                <Grid>
                    <Grid.Resources>
                        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.HighlightBrushKey}">Transparent</SolidColorBrush>
                        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static SystemColors.ControlBrushKey}">Transparent</SolidColorBrush>
                    </Grid.Resources>
                    <Image x:Name="mapImage" Source="YourMap.png"/>
                    <ItemsPresenter SnapsToDevicePixels="{TemplateBinding UIElement.SnapsToDevicePixels}" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=mapImage}" Height="{Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=mapImage}" />
                </Grid>
            </Border>
        </ControlTemplate>
    </ListBox.Template>
    <ListBox.ItemsPanel>
        <ItemsPanelTemplate>
            <!-- make sure you set these values in line with YourMap.png -->
            <controls:MercatorProjectionPanel MaxLatitude="81" MinLatitude="-74"/>
        </ItemsPanelTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemsPanel>
    <ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
        <Style TargetType="ListBoxItem">
            <Setter Property="controls:MercatorProjectionPanel.Longitude" Value="{Binding Location.Longitude}"/>
            <Setter Property="controls:MercatorProjectionPanel.Latitude" Value="{Binding Location.Latitude}"/>
        </Style>
    </ListBox.ItemContainerStyle>
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock>Here's your item</TextBlock>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

You need to also have the lat/long min and max values that you want the canvas to display(that can be computed from the zoom level, or you can hard-code them). Then you can determine the relative coords of an object like: RelX = (ObjectLong-MinLong)/(MaxLong-MinLong) and RelY = (ObjectLat-MinLat)/(MaxLat-MinLat) Then you position the children of the canvas based on their relative coordinates, in the MeasureOverride() method.
