You do mind but if the customer insists you have no choice.
My customers use metres, feet and statute feet, they work in degrees, deg/min/sec and grads. They work in X,Y,Z or N,E,Z (don't get me started on South Africa)
Then you have day/month/year and month/day/year, then you have Canadians that work in both.
It's easy for a web 2.0 site with no actual customers.
- joubert 16y agoWhat is N,Y,Z and how does it relate to SA?
- nitrogen 16y agoA Google search for "n e z coordinates" revealed that N stands for north or northings, E stands for east or eastings. Basically, it looks like they just swap X and Y.
- joubert 16y agoI'm South African and I've never seen that used. Perhaps it is by people in a particular industry?
- fghjkoi8uygt 16y agoSouth Africa has a novel coordinate system, at least for people who expect North to be at the top and east on the X axis.
- fghjkoi8uygt 16y agoYes just a simple swap, except every dialog, grid control, status bar and tooltip has to keep track of which way round they are.
