JMapViewer centering

Question

I am trying to put a JMapViewer into a program I am doing and I want it to be centered in a specific area (Leicester, UK). Although I am not sure how the .setDisplayPosition function works and how I can use the co ordinates i have for it to do this task? Thanks.

Answer 1

Use JMapViewer#setDisplayPositionByLatLon() to zoom to a particular point.

Addendum: I don't have the method setDisplayPositionByLatLon().

Ah, the method was removed in r30244 in favor of setDisplayPosition().

Coordinate paris = new Coordinate(48.8567, 2.3508);
map.setDisplayPosition(paris, 8);

From the log:

$ svn log -r30244 src/org/openstreetmap/gui/jmapviewer/JMapViewer.java

To match getPosition() and simplify code rename setDisplayPositionByLatLon()
into setDisplayPosition(Coordinate to, ...).
