Global Mapper v25.0

Is there any way GM can output the ground coordinates for the 4 corners of an image?

I am geo rectifying rectangle images in Global Mapper and it's very easy to add the control points to rectify the image, but once I've done that, I need to get the coordinates for all 4 corners of my image.

Anyway to do that? Thanks.

    Home > Image Rectification > Rectifier Options Menu

    • Add Control Points at Corner Points
      This option allows you to easily create a control point at each corner of the layer being rectified.
      If enough other control points have already been entered to do a rectification, the new corner control points will automatically be initialized with the best guess at the ground/projected location, otherwise they will be initialized with dummy values.

    Is there anyway to output the coordinates into a notepad or something. Currently, as I read the coordinates, I have to write each one down, and with long numbers such as these, and as many as I have to write down, that leaves alot of room for error. If there was a way I could simply cut and paste the numbers into my spreadsheet, that would be ideal. Please let me know, thanks so much.

    Also, I need the coordinates in decimal degrees. Is there anyway to get that in GM. When I double click on a control point and it loads those coordinates into the 4 boxes above, none of those boxes show the coordinates in degrees.

    Home > Scripting Reference > Script Commands > QUERY_LAYER_METADATA

    QUERY_LAYER_METADATA
    The QUERY_LAYER_METADATA command is used to read metadata values.
    This command uses the METADATA_LAYER and METADATA_ATTR parameters, plus one additional one:
    RESULT_VAR - specifies the name of the script variable where the metadata will be stored.

    Example: Stores the layer's DESCRIPTION metadata in a variable called %DESC%.
    DEFINE_VAR NAME="LAYER" VALUE="P:\Data\Areas.shp"
    IMPORT FILENAME="%LAYER%" TYPE="SHAPEFILE"
    QUERY_LAYER_METADATA METADATA_LAYER="%LAYER%"   METADATA_ATTR="DESCRIPTION" \
    RESULT_VAR="DESC"
    


    Home > Scripting Reference > Script Commands > EXPORT_METADATA

    EXPORT_METADATA
    The EXPORT_METADATA command exports the metadata for a specified load layer.
    The following parameters are supported by the command.
    • FILENAME - full path of file (must already be loaded) that you want to save the metadata for.
    • METADATA_FILENAME - full path of new text file to create on disk containing the metadata for the specified layer.




    example :

    Could We Flag EXPORT As When IMPORTING?


    i_neva_meta.gms
    GLOBAL_MAPPER_SCRIPT VERSION=1.00
    
    
    EXPORT_METADATA FILENAME="*" \
    HEADER="This is a very nice addition to any export\n\
    Thank you Mike! :)\n\n " \
    METADATA_FILENAME="i_neva_meta.txt"
    
    

    i_neva_meta.txt
    This is a very nice addition to any export
     Thank you Mike! :)

    what if you create bboxes and then points at the 4 corners

    then assign coordinate attributes to them

    extract them on a txt file via the binoculars function (basically copy and paste them on an empty notepad file)
