Note of Archival

This project will now be archived finally; it will remain under its GNU GPL license, and will be published publicly under its current status; as a final note, the reasoning behind the archival and halt of progress to this project is that I find no meaningful progression to achieve its initial goal. The project works as intended, yet, it does not fill its intended goal; the motivation was to use this project to determine the area a longitude and latitude falls under, given that longitudal and latiudal conversion to 2D coordinates is difficult under mercator projections other methods of solving this matter seem more reasonable, as such I have chosen to pursue simpler alternative solutions, lib_bmp and lib_json will continue under the same given progress as it they have wider scope and can be used under different projects.

Description

The project does not work yet.

This program is aimed to determine on which area a specific coordinate lies. Speed is an important factor in this project, I realize I could have used a mathematical approach, but this solution seems simpler, and definitely faster.

Requirements

lib_bmp

Input

Instructions:

Rules file:

Rules can not be named map-coordinates-tl, map-coordinates-br, data, or map.
Every new rule must be inputted in a seperate line.
You must specify the map-coordinates-tl and map-coordinates-br, or it will default to (0.0, 0.0) and (1.0, 1.0) respectively; the map-coordinate-tl is the coordinate of the pixel on the top left corner, while the map-coordinates-br is the coordinate of the pixel on the bottom right corner.
Colors inputted must be in a (r, g, b) format the red, green, and blue (r, g, b) values should be specified from (0 - 255).
The data and map file path must be specified within quotation marks '"'.
All spaces, commented lines and empty lines are ignored. (Commented lines are lines that begin with a '#')

Data file:

The inputted data must be in a .csv file.
It must be delimitered by either a , or a ; as long as only one is used.
The latitiude and latitiude columns must be named lat and long respectively; and the used delimiter will be determined from the first row.

Image file:

The map (image file) must be a 24 (8;8;8) bit file in Windows BMP file format (.bmp)
It must be added into the instructions of the rule files file. to be expanded on later...

A rule is set in this format:
