EDSC-2419: Break up shapefiles that cross the antimeridian

Open mreese84 opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Description

When dropping a shapefile that crosses the antimeridian onto EDSC, the polygon that gets drawn and sent to CMR be broken up into two parts, with each part being placed on the appropriate side of the map. The shapefile (shown in orange) should also follow this same behavior.

Acceptance Criteria

  • When a shapefile is used that crosses the antimeridian, it is broken up and placed on the other side of the meridian.

@imrishabh18 This is unlikely a beginner friendly issue unfortunately, and none of us have been able to triage this issue so we're not able to provide much guidance.

@abbottry Okay, I see. Will look out for some beginner friendly issue in the future then. Or when my skills improve to contribute 😄
