Re: Strange KML behaviors

You're probably right. This isn't the first time the map server
doesn't do what GE can do. I made the same edits you did, but my
results in the Map Server didn't change. This gives me a new
problem of how to make the KML be Map Server-compatible... I guess
there's no sense in getting the SVN version if it won't fix the
problem on maps.google.com...

Well, when I changed the 2nd half of st0 to st1 and loaded in
Google Earth I get yellow and orange dots. So perhaps there is a
difference with what the Map server can do?

Well, this may not
bee the only problem. I changed the second occurrence
from "st0" to "st1" (as well as the point references to
this) and re-uploaded the file, and it still shows all
blue dots! So, I think something else might be going
on... You can go look at the new version of the file
(link below) and see if you see anything else
improper...

I'll be out of the office until Friday...

So the problem is that the first gmt2kml creates a
style called st0 for the yellow and then the second
gmt2kml call creates a style with the same name that
is orange...

We will have to ensure uniqueness of style names,
perhaps using more complicated tags like
st0-yellow-1p, st0-orange-1p, or similar.

Here is
the URL for yelloworange.kml file that
produces the blue markers... http://weather.gov/ohrfc/HAS/images/yelloworange.kml

I think you need to assign color via -C for
this kind of combination. Otherwise the
style information in the first layer would
contradict that of the next layer. However,
you might want to turn your email into a new
issue an upload the yelloworange.kml file so
we could have a look.

Greetings!

Given this script snippet:

gmt gmt2kml yellow.dat
-Gfyellow -Fs >
/awips/hydroapps/www/images/yellow.kml

gmt gmt2kml orange.dat
-Gforange -Fs
>
/awips/hydroapps/www/images/orange.kml

gmt gmt2kml yellow.dat
-Gfyellow -Fs -K
>
/awips/hydroapps/www/images/yelloworange.kml

gmt gmt2kml orange.dat
-Gforange -Fs -O
>>
/awips/hydroapps/www/images/yelloworange.kml

which creates 3 KML files which are
uploaded to the web server
(yellow.kml, orange.kml, and
yelloworange.kml). You can view
them here:

https://maps.google.com/maps?source=embed&ie=UTF8&t=p&ll=38.993572,-83.649902&spn=10.241768,15.380859&z=6&q=http:%2F%2Fweather.gov%2Fohrfc%2FHAS%2Fimages%2Fyellow.kml&vpsrc=0&oi=map_misc&ct=api_logo

and replace "yellow" in the
magnifying-glass box with "orange"
or "yelloworange". The only thing
different in my commands to create
the yelloworange.kml file is the
fact that I use -K and -O to combine
two commands into one file. What's
puzzling is that the
yelloworange.kml file reveals all
the points from both yellow and
orange (this is good!), but the
markers aren't yellow for some and
orange for the others, but rather,
they are all BLUE!! How does THAT
happen??
