feature ID (row.names)

[edzer]

When querying a feature, it would be nice if in addition to the long/lat and attribute value, the feature ID, obtained by row.names(obj), would appear. This makes it easier to identify administrative districts, or sample IDs.

When clicking in polygons, we don't get the long/lat of the clicked point, but that of the center point of the polygon. I'd suggest to replace long/lat with feature ID (row.name) in case of polygons (and perhaps lines).

Starting from the most recent 'develop' version (1.0.10), feature IDs (i.e., rownames) related with objects of class SpatialPointsDataFrame, SpatialPolygonsDataFrame, and SpatialLinesDataFrame are now being displayed in the pop-up windows. Please note that long/lat coordinates are not explicitly visualized when it comes to the latter, e.g.

mapview(atlStorms2005)

As for polygons, we should soon decide upon the additional value of centroid coordinates. It does not require too much effort to switch on/off such features in the associated pop-up tables.

Great, thanks a lot!

Given that we now have mouseCoordinates and only show lon/lat coordinates for points I am closing this issue
