How do coordinates work? How do you use the map?

Imperial Conflict - The FAQ
Coordinates are the same as on normal maps. You have your X-axis, which is the horizontal axis. The Y-axis is the vertical axis. Coordinates are usually made like this: (XX,YY). Planet coordinates add another number, the planet number (Z). So your coordinate will look like this: (XX,YY:ZZ). To use the map, click on one of the sectors. You will get an overview of all systems in that sector.

Why can't I see Map Coordinates on the bottom of the map?

KGIS - Knox County, TN GIS
Map coordinates are seen in the status bar on the bottom of the map window. Whenever you move your cursor the map coordinate will change. If you are using Internet Explorer Version 7 (IE7) you will have to add KGIS as a trusted site. Solution for IE 7 users: See similar questions...

What format should I use for the topo coordinates?

SummitPost - Frequently Asked Questions -- FAQs
SummitPost requires coordinates in decimal degree notation (dd.dddd), not DMS (dd? mm' ss.sss'') or UTM. Be sure to recalculate the coordinates into dd.dddd format. A decimal point (.) is required. Commas are deleted and result in incorrect coordinates. Members in the western hemisphere must use negative longitudes. Here are two examples: Recalculate the DMS-data (dd? mm' ss.

Is it faster to use absolute coordinates or to use relative coordinates?

OpenGL FAQ / 22 Performance
By using absolute (or “world”) coordinates, your application doesn't have to change the ModelView matrix as often. By using relative (or “object”) coordinates, you can cut down on data storage of redundant primitives or geometry. A good analogy is an architectural software package that models a hotel. The hotel model has hundreds of thousands of rooms, most of which are identical. See similar questions...

Q. How do I change the map coordinates in a DXF file within Surfer?

Golden Software: Surfer 5 and 6 FAQ
You can use the page coordinates of two calibration points with known map coordinates on your map to create a new DXF with the changed coordinates. Use the File | Import menu to load the DXF file and display it without axes. Zoom In on the first known point and write down the XY page coordinates from the status bar at the bottom of the Plot window. Zoom Out, scroll to the next point and write down the page coordinates. Choose the File | Export menu, and specify a new file name with the . See similar questions...

How can I see the state plane coordinates from the map on the status bar in Internet Explorer 7?

FAQ's - Geographic Information Systems
Status Bar Scripting--Scripts will no longer be able to set the status bar text by default in the Internet and Restricted Zones.

How do I interpret the chromosomal coordinates of a gene?

Frequently Asked Questions
The start and stop coordinates refer to the entire chromosome, where position 1 is the first nucleotide of the left arm of the chromosome. The Watson strand is defined as running 5' to 3' from the left to right telomere, and the Crick strand is complementary to it. The first letter of each name is 'Y', denoting 'yeast'. The second letter denotes chromosome number (I=A, II=B, etc.). The third letter denotes the chromosomal arm where each locus resides: L for left and R for right. See similar questions...

Why doesn't map's operator< use the map's comparison function?

SGI STL: Frequently Asked Questions
A map has a notion of comparison, since one of its template parameters is a comparison function. However, operator< for maps uses the elements' operator< rather than that comparison function. This appears odd, but it is deliberate and we believe that it is correct. the most trivial level, this isn't a bug in our implementation because it's what's mandated by the C++ standard. (The behavior of operator< is described in Table 65, in section 23.1. See similar questions...

What is a map datum? /Which map datum do I use?

GPS FAQ Answers
A datum is a mathematical model of the Earth. Map makers may use a different model to chart their maps, so position coordinates will differ from one datum to another. Lines of latitude and longitude on a map or chart are referenced to a specific map datum. Every chart has a map datum reference. The datum for the map you are using can be found in the legend of the map. See similar questions...

Why does programming in XYZ coordinates not work properly?

E&CE 486 Laboratory FAQs
The robot can either be programmed in a relative mode by teaching positions or by entering the XYZ coordinates directly. When initially powered-up, the robot must be calibrated if it is to be programmed in XYZ coordinates rather than by teaching positions. The Z axis is on the vertical center of the robot. The X & Y axes lieon the plane of the platform to which the robot is bolted. See similar questions...
