How to make the union between two MKCoordinateRegi

问题:

I'm trying to do the union between two MKCoordinateRegion. Does anybody have an idea on how to do this?

回答1:

There is a MKMapRectUnion function which accepts two MKMapRects so you could first convert each MKCoordinateRegion to an MKMapRect and then call that function (and convert the result back to an MKCoordinateRegion using the MKCoordinateRegionForMapRect function).

The conversion method might look like this:

- (MKMapRect)mapRectForCoordinateRegion:(MKCoordinateRegion)coordinateRegion
{
    CLLocationCoordinate2D topLeftCoordinate = 
        CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(coordinateRegion.center.latitude 
                + (coordinateRegion.span.latitudeDelta/2.0), 
            coordinateRegion.center.longitude 
                - (coordinateRegion.span.longitudeDelta/2.0));

    MKMapPoint topLeftMapPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(topLeftCoordinate);

    CLLocationCoordinate2D bottomRightCoordinate = 
        CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(coordinateRegion.center.latitude 
                - (coordinateRegion.span.latitudeDelta/2.0), 
            coordinateRegion.center.longitude 
                + (coordinateRegion.span.longitudeDelta/2.0));

    MKMapPoint bottomRightMapPoint = MKMapPointForCoordinate(bottomRightCoordinate);

    MKMapRect mapRect = MKMapRectMake(topLeftMapPoint.x, 
                            topLeftMapPoint.y, 
                            fabs(bottomRightMapPoint.x-topLeftMapPoint.x), 
                            fabs(bottomRightMapPoint.y-topLeftMapPoint.y));

    return mapRect;
}

Then, to actually do the union:

MKCoordinateRegion region1 = ...
MKCoordinateRegion region2 = ...

MKMapRect mapRect1 = [self mapRectForCoordinateRegion:region1];
MKMapRect mapRect2 = [self mapRectForCoordinateRegion:region2];

MKMapRect mapRectUnion = MKMapRectUnion(mapRect1, mapRect2);

MKCoordinateRegion regionUnion = MKCoordinateRegionForMapRect(mapRectUnion);

If anyone is looking for a swift equivalent using extensions,

extension MKCoordinateRegion {
    func mapRectForCoordinateRegion() -> MKMapRect {
        let dLat = span.latitudeDelta / 2.0
        let dLon = span.longitudeDelta / 2.0

        let topLeft = MKMapPointForCoordinate(
            CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(center.latitude + dLat, center.longitude - dLon))
        let botRight = MKMapPointForCoordinate(
            CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(center.latitude - dLat, center.longitude + dLon))

        return MKMapRectMake(
            topLeft.x,
            topLeft.y,
            fabs(botRight.x - topLeft.x),
            fabs(botRight.y - topLeft.y))
    }

    func unionWith(region: MKCoordinateRegion) -> MKCoordinateRegion {
        let union = MKMapRectUnion(
            self.mapRectForCoordinateRegion(),
            region.mapRectForCoordinateRegion())

        return MKCoordinateRegionForMapRect(union)
    }
}

And can be used like

let region1 = ...
let region2 = ...

let regionUnion = region1.unionWith(region2)

i did a little test on both 4.3 and 5.0 and it seems that the conversion is not correct

UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"heart.png"] imageByScalingProportionallyToSize:CGSizeMake(100, 100)]];
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 100);
imageView.center = [mapView convertCoordinate:mapView.centerCoordinate toPointToView:canvasView];
[canvasView addSubview:imageView];

MKCoordinateRegion region = [mapView convertRect:imageView.frame toRegionFromView:canvasView];
MKMapRect maprect;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i ++)
{
    maprect = [mapView mapRectForCoordinateRegion:region];
    NSLog(@"%f, %f, %f, %f", region.center.latitude, region.center.longitude, region.span.latitudeDelta, region.span.longitudeDelta);
    NSLog(@"%f, %f, %f, %f", maprect.origin.x, maprect.origin.y, maprect.size.width, maprect.size.height);
    region = MKCoordinateRegionForMapRect([mapView mapRectForCoordinateRegion:region]);
}
