Testing consistency between dbamber/UkGeoTool (https://github.com/dbamber/UkGeoTool) and the source by Chris Veness (http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong-gridref.html). With easting 510350 / northing 179950 as an input, the first function outputs { latitude: 51.50721000898611, longitude: -0.40978487356944765 } , while the second { lat: …

	return this * 180 / Math.PI;
	}

giacecco / The non-vectorised function

Last active December 25, 2015 18:59

Problem: I would like to write a vectorised version of 'findClosestOutputArea' below, so that I could do something like: incidents$outputAreaGridId <- findClosestOutputAreaVectorised(incidents$davetazLongitude, incidents$davetazLatitude)$gridId 'spDistsN1' comes from package sp http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/sp/sp.pdf and calculates the …

	findClosestOutputArea <- function (incident) {
	distances <- spDistsN1(data.matrix(outputAreas[, c('longitudeCentre', 'latitudeCentre')]), matrix(c(incident$davetazLongitude, incident$davetazLatitude), nrow = 1, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE), longlat = TRUE)
	outputAreas[match(min(distances), distances), ]
	}

Strange behaviour of node-canvas that I can't understand. I expect this code to write 10 .png files each of which contains a "Page [n]" text. Instead, I get one .png only called page11.png (??? the last should be 10) with "Page 8" in it! There must be something about timing that I am missing.

	Ode to Autumn
	by John Keats

	Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,
	Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
	Conspiring with him how to load and bless
	With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
	To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
	And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
	To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
