Build a Google Earth Interface on Oracle Database XE
Get an overview of spatial data, explore ways to add spatial attributes to existing data, and learn how to use Google Earth to "fly" over aerial imagery including that data.
Does anyone have an awk script that converts/translates an ascii .csv file to a Google Earth .kml file?
The .csv would typically look like:
X_Longitude_Coordinate,Y_Latitude_Coordinate,Elevation,Point_Number
Thank you,

Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable - Generates GoogleEarth Documents
SYNOPSIS
use Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable;
my $document=Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable->new(%data); #is a special Folder...
my $folder =$document->Folder(%data); #isa Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Folder
my $point =$document->Point(%data); #isa Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Point
my $netlink =$document->NetworkLink(%data); #isa Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::NetworkLink
my $lookat =$document->LookAt(%data); #isa Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::LookAt
my $style =$document->Style(%data); #isa Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Style
print $document->render;
KML CGI Example
use Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable;
my $document=Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable->new(name=>"KML Document");
print $document->header,
$document->render;
KMZ CGI Example
use Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable;
my $document=Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable->new(name=>"KMZ Document");
print $document->header_kmz,
$document->archive;

USAGE
This is all of the code you need to generate a complete Google Earth document.
use Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable;
my $document=Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable->new;
$document->Point(name=>"White House", lat=>38.897337, lon=>-77.036503);
print $document->render;
CONSTRUCTOR
new
my $document=Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable->new(name=>"My Name");
METHODS
type
Returns the object type.
my $type=$folder->type;
document
Returns the document object.
All objects know to which document they belong even the document itself!
render
Returns an XML document with an XML declaration and a root name of "Document"
print $document->render;
archive
Returns a KMZ formatted Zipped archive of the XML document
print $document->archive;
xmlns
Add or update a namespace
$document->xmlns->{"namespace"}=$url;
Delete a namespace
delete($document->xmlns->{"xmlns:gx"});
Replace all namespaces
$document->{"xmlns"}={namespace=>$url};
Reset to default namespaces
delete($document->{"xmlns"});
nextId
This method is in the document since all Styles and StyleMaps are in the document not folders.
my $id=$document->nextId($type); #$type in "Style" or "StyleMap"
header, header_kml
Returns a header appropriate for a web application
Content-type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.xls
$document->header #embedded in browser
$document->header(filename=>"filename.xls") #download prompt
$document->header(content_type=>"application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml") #default content type
header_kmz
Returns a header appropriate for a web application
Content-type: application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=filename.xls
$document->header_kmz #embedded in browser
$document->header_kmz(filename=>"filename.xls") #download prompt
$document->header_kmz(content_type=>"application/vnd.google-earth.kmz") #default content type
TODO
Support for default Polygon and Line styles that are nicer than GoogleEarth's
Support for DateTime object in the constructor that is promoted to the LookAt object.
Create a GPS::Point plugin (Promote tag as name and datetime to LookAt)
BUGS
Please log on RT and send to the geo-perl email list.
LIMITATIONS
Not So Pretty XML
The XML produced by XML::LibXML is not "pretty". If you need pretty XML you must pass the output through xmllint or a simular product.
For example:
perl -MGeo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable -e "print Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable->new->render" | xmllint --format -
Write Only
This package can only write KML and KMZ files. However, if you need to read KML files, please see the Geo::KML package's "from" method.
SUPPORT
DavisNetworks.com supports all Perl applications including this package.
