Jaz: A Geographic Area Selection Applet


* Documentation for this product is in development. Please contact NSIDC User Services.*


This is the development area for the NSIDC JazPanel. The JazPanel is a Java-based geographic area selection applet.

This version is mostly Java code with just a few javascript hooks to change configuration parameters and get at the information about the selected area. As such this version should be fairly browser independent.

The radio buttons and checkboxes at the bottom of the page switch some configuration parameters in the applet. They are there for demonstration purposes. (Most interfaces would just pick an appropriate configuration and not leave it up to the user to define).


Use Lat/Lon    Use Row/Col

Draw Lat/Lon    Draw Row/Col    Draw Spherical Rectangle


What works and what doesn't:

WHAT (SHOULD) WORK
Pretty much everything. The map seems to stagger a bit at time and needs to be kicked (i.e. select a different map, resize the window, etc.) before it starts working properly.
WHAT DOESN'T WORK
It's not actually hooked in to anything, so you can't run a search. JAZ is just a piece of an interface.
