Geographic annotation for Plone

Project description

Introduction
============

.. role:: class(raw)
:format: html
.. role:: meth(raw)
:format: html
.. role:: mod(raw)
:format: html


:mod:`collective.geo.geographer` provides geo-annotation for `Plone`_.

This package is based on Sean Gillies's idea (`zgeo.geographer`_) and integrates
its functionalities in collective.geo project.

Requirements
============

* `Plone`_ >= 4

Installation
============

This addon can be installed like any other addon, please follow the official
documentation_.


How it works
============

Any object that implements
:class:`IAttributeAnnotatable <zope.annotation.interfaces.IAttributeAnnotatable>`
and
:class:`IGeoreferenceable <collective.geo.geographer.interfaces.IGeoreferenceable>`
can be adapted and geo-referenced.

All Zope content objects provide the former,
and the latter can be easily configured via ZCML.

Let's test with an example placemark, which provides both of the marker
interfaces mentioned above::

>>> from zope.interface import implements
>>> from zope.annotation.interfaces import IAttributeAnnotatable
>>> from collective.geo.geographer.interfaces import IGeoreferenceable

>>> class Placemark(object):
... implements(IGeoreferenceable, IAttributeAnnotatable)

>>> placemark = Placemark()

Adapt it to
:class:`IGeoreferenced <collective.geo.geographer.interfaces.IGeoreferenced>`::

>>> from collective.geo.geographer.interfaces import IGeoreferenced
>>> geo = IGeoreferenced(placemark)

Its properties should all be ``None``::

>>> geo.type is None
True
>>> geo.coordinates is None
True
>>> geo.crs is None
True

Check whether the geo-referenceable object has coordinates or not::

>>> geo.hasCoordinates()
False

Now set the location geometry to type *Point* and coordinates
*105.08 degrees West, 40.59 degrees North* using
:meth:`setGeoInterface <IWritableGeoreference.setGeoInterface>`::

>>> geo.setGeoInterface('Point', (-105.08, 40.59))

A georeferenced object has ``type`` and ``coordinates`` attributes which should
give us back what we put in::

>>> geo.type
'Point'
>>> tuple(['%.2f' % x for x in geo.coordinates])
('-105.08', '40.59')
>>> geo.crs is None
True

Now the :meth:`hasCoordinates <IGeoView.hasCoordinates>`
method returns True::

>>> geo.hasCoordinates()
True

An event should have been sent::

>>> from zope.component.eventtesting import getEvents
>>> from collective.geo.geographer.event import IObjectGeoreferencedEvent
>>> events = getEvents(IObjectGeoreferencedEvent)
>>> events[-1].object is placemark
True

To remove the coordinate from a georeferenced object, we can
use the :meth:`removeGeoInterface <IWritableGeoreference.removeGeoInterface>`
method::

>>> geo.removeGeoInterface()
>>> geo.type is None
True
>>> geo.coordinates is None
True
>>> geo.crs is None
True


Plone integration
-----------------

Add geo-referenced content::

>>> from plone.app.testing import setRoles
>>> from plone.app.testing import TEST_USER_ID
>>> portal = layer['portal']
>>> setRoles(portal, TEST_USER_ID, ['Manager'])

>>> oid = portal.invokeFactory('Document', 'doc')
>>> doc = portal[oid]

If the content type doesn't implement
:class:`IGeoreferenceable <collective.geo.geographer.interfaces.IGeoreferenceable>`
interfaces, we need to provide it::

>>> from zope.interface import alsoProvides
>>> alsoProvides(doc, IGeoreferenceable)

Now we can set the coordinates::

>>> from collective.geo.geographer.interfaces import IWriteGeoreferenced
>>> geo = IWriteGeoreferenced(doc)
>>> geo.setGeoInterface('Point', (-100, 40))

and reindex the document::

>>> doc.reindexObject(idxs=['zgeo_geometry'])

We can create a subscriber for
:class:`IObjectGeoreferencedEvent <collective.geo.geographer.event.IObjectGeoreferencedEvent>`
to do that automatically.

Check the catalog results::

>>> from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName
>>> catalog = getToolByName(portal, 'portal_catalog')
>>> brain = [b for b in catalog({'getId': 'doc'})][0]
>>> brain.zgeo_geometry['type']
'Point'
>>> brain.zgeo_geometry['coordinates']
(-100, 40)

A simple view (:class:`geoview <collective.geo.geographer.interfaces.IGeoView>`)
notifies us if a context is geo-referenceable::

>>> view = doc.restrictedTraverse('@@geoview')
>>> view.isGeoreferenceable()
True

and allows us to find its coordinates::

>>> view.getCoordinates()
('Point', (-100, 40))

When we remove the coordinates, the corresponding index will return ``None``::

>>> geo.removeGeoInterface()
>>> doc.reindexObject(idxs=['zgeo_geometry'])
>>> brain = [b for b in catalog({'getId': 'doc'})][0]
>>> brain.zgeo_geometry
Missing.Value
