This program is due on Friday evening, 11/19/10, at midnight. You have several options that you can work on. Just pick one and work on it, and submit a solution for it. You can work in pairs.

Option 1

• Write a Processing program using Eitan M.'s example, and the ones available on the Class Web page illustrating how to access Web pages (php pages) to put together a Processing applet that displays two different KML files. The selection of the KML files is done via the URL request, inside the Processing program. The way I recommend implementing this is to append a request at the end of the URL of your php page of the form "?Id=3,4". In this particular example, it would indicate that the php program has to return the contents (filtered or not) of the KML files with Ids 3 and 4.

• Call your Processing program: hw8a.pde
• Call your php program: pickKml.php
• Call your page containing the Processing applet: displayKml.php

Option 2

• Write a Processing applet that contains the same elements (box, buttons, widgets) as the form you created in a previous assignment, where you specify which KML file should be selected depending on various parameters. In this case you need to display only one KML file.
• Call your Processing program: hw8b.pde
• Call your php program: pickKml.php
• Call your page containing the Processing applet: displayKml.php

Option 3

• Write a Processing program that displays a Map of Smith of your choosing, and align one of the KML traces on it. You do not have to select the KML from the database; hard coding it in your code is acceptable. This option requires figuring out the exact longitude and latitude of several key points on campus, so that displaying a trace from a KML fits "right".

• Call your Processing program: hw8c.pde
• Call your page containing the Processing applet: displayMap.php
