Google Slides API REST Resources "Cropped Image" without contentURL? - json

while trying to export whole presentations of Google Slides with the Google Slides API i'm facing a problem with the export of "cropped images".
If your're using the "crop image" functionality in the Google Slides Editor, to get e.g. a "ROUND_RECTANGLE" appearance for the image, also the type of the page element switches in the exporting REST Resource from "image" to "shape".
So there won't be no more a field in the exported JSON for the contentURL like in the image type and thus it seems not to be possible to load the origin or the "cropped" image file.
Maybe someone knows an alternate workaround or solving for this problem?
I would be pleased if somebody could help me. But i'm also interested in informations why it maybe won't work actually.
Have a nice day!

Remove "Google map" dashed border

i am not fluent in js and Html, i am trying to fix the map on our website that shows dashed border :
And the actual map look like this (on google map) :
There is a political issue and google shows the map without border(dashed) to users inside Morocco and show the other map to the rest of the world users, we need to fix this as 90% of the target users on our website are from Morocco.
I have tried to fix it using this method :
https://daker.me/2017/08/fix-morocco-borders-on-google-maps-2017-version.html
But either the map vanish or no changes, the original map code :
http://pasted.co/46e7141b
I also tried to change the Google Map API domain from google .com to .co.ma
Please if there is any solution i would like to fix this as soon as i can, thank you in advance.
This sounds like something that you may not be able to change, but some of the styling of the map certainly can be altered. Google has a great tool here you can check out to investigate with:

Further details can be found here:

Use region=MA query parameter in your API calls, see localization docs,
and demo.

Embed html in AutoCAD

Does anyone know of a way to embed html into Autocad? I want to be able to click on an object and a window within Autocad pop-up with some pictures and text in a table. I'm hoping there's a way that looks similar to a Google earth kml when the description shows?
Yes that is possible. Autocad can be driven by Javascript meanwhile. And by that you can create own palettes which are in fact a chrome browser window which seamless integrates in the Acad application. You can nearly reach the full acad API from Javascript. And its also possible to extend the JS API by own routines as well. So you will be able to use the native links inside the drawing as well as any own Xdata or Dictionarys as well.

Why are my line colors not showing in my KML file on Google Maps?

I have a KML file from an architect who says he colorized the lines (white, blue, red) and I see the codes in the file itself so I know they are there. The proper colors do display in Google Earth, but NOT in google maps http://lonesomevalley.com/site-map-mapbox/ that I added as a KML layer into MapBox. They also don't display when I bring into the Geojson.io tool so something must be wrong. I see that color is supported by google maps so wondering why it isn't working. Please help! Thanks in advance! My code can be downloaded here: http://evolv.com/lonesome.kml
If I understand the question right, it was the same problem like I had for quit a while. Then someone gave me this quit simple solution.
The colorcodes in kml are in BGR format, while most other formats are the usual RGB format.
The conversion is quit simple: RGB 'ff12dd' will be in BGR 'dd12ff' (R and B just change) but in kml there must always be 'FF' in front, so it will be 'FFdd12ff'
I can't tell you if it's the same issue on your mapbox-implementation(mapbox isn't google maps)
The colors also will not be applied in a google.maps.KmlLayer
The issue seems to be that you've placed the <Style/>'s in <Folder/>'s
When you validate the KML ( http://www.kmlvalidator.com/home ) you'll see that the styles may not be found(and more errors) .
Possible solution( at least related to google-maps): Place the Styles outside of the Folders, as direct childs of <Document/>
Okay after much trial and error working within the KML file, I finally consulted an expert who gave me a simple answer that worked! He said the easiest way to go about changing line colors and weight is through MapBox Editor itself. All you have to do is click on the Data tab, then the 3 horizontal lines button ("hamburger menu drawer icon") to bring up the features. Then you can delete any feature you want from there or click on the feature to change its stroke color and weight. So EASY!!! Just be sure to hit save when done. And there is no Undo if you trash something by mistake so make sure to Save every once in a while and just back out of the project without saving in order to get back something you deleted by mistake.
So all in all I believe that KML files don't bring in the colors of lines correctly to MapBox and therefore need to be corrected through the editor itself.

New Google Maps embedding option

Since the latest Google Maps update in 2013, is there a way or a resource that can be used for simple embedding Google Maps?
I have tried using the old maps system but it does not produce desired results.
Also, I have tried using Google Maps Engine, no luck there as well, because you are only served with a link to share, not embed code.
After extensive research on the topic I found no simple way of embedding new Google Maps. Problem will possibly go away once Google decides to update Google Maps. However, I have not seen Google Maps development roadmap and so I can't really vouch for them.
Apart from using simple solution, there are two others (not so simple of course) that might provide a decent substitution.
Solution 1
Using Google Maps API where you can find Developer guides, API reference and code samples. There is no easy way about this, simply follow the instructions and review examples that Google has supplied. Hopefully there might be something in it that will help you.
Simple guide to Google Maps API
Solution 2
Using Google Maps Engine will offer you a way to create your own map. Once you have created a map, added pins, points, routes, etc. at the end you can select option to share. However, option to share just allows you to share a link, not embed. I just wanted to point out this "feature", if you will, of the system.
To embed a map you have to click on a folder in the upper left corner. Shown on the image below and select Embed on my site option.
In the bottom right corner of the map you'll see a cogwheel. Click it.
Click on "Share and embed map";
Choose the size you need from the drop-down menu or choose the custom option;
Click in the box to the right that starts with <iframe src="https://www.google The code should be highlighted. copy and paste it into your web page or blog.
Simples!

Custom Placemark symbols used in KML not showing up in Google Maps

This is driving me crazy. I've been developing some simple embedded Google Maps such as the following:
http://publicworks.snoco.org/rdclosures/snocordclosuregmaps.html
This map in particular has several kml overlays but one of them is no longer displaying the custom placemark icons I had developed and specified. The problem KML layer is this:
http://publicworks.snoco.org/RdClosures/SnocoRdClosures4Gmaps.kml
Some time in the last few months, the custom symbols stopped displaying and have been replaced by the default placemark symbol. If you open the KML file in Google Earth, it displays properly. The KML file does validate using KmlValidator.
Through my searches on here, I saw a suggestion about using definitions at the top of the KML file and then using within each Placemark. I made that change to my KML but it did not appear to make any difference (the custom icons are still not displaying).
I realize that KML files get cached on Google's end so if you look at my javascript code, I'm using the dummy parameter trick with my KML URL path to force a refresh of the layer. The other thing I will note is that the content of this KML is not static and it frequently changes.
Any ideas? Because I'm stumped!
THANKS!

Agreed with fragileninja that something is happening with your images between your server and Google's. The usual suspects are timing out and 404s (or other server errors).
Since the KML layer is actually being rasterized to tiles on Google's servers, the request has a relatively short timeout so the tiles aren't delayed from being sent to the browser. If the icon images aren't returned in that time, usually Maps will render using the default icon (as it's doing here). However, I also have no trouble getting the icons to work when I host them on my own server, and I don't see atrocious loading times when I access your icons directly, so it is strange.
It's possible that your servers are taking a longer than usual time to respond to Google's servers specifically, or even that they're returning some HTTP error to them instead of an image.
Can you check your server logs to see if you can see the requests and if they're returning as expected?
Finally, if there's no problem there, I would suggest filing a bug on the Maps API issue tracker. Make sure to pick the appropriate template from the dropdown list (you might also consider making a simpler test case, like just using your KML file with the KmlLayer example from the docs) . If you do end up filing a bug, please link it here and I'll make sure it's looked at.
It's something to do with how your server is serving up the images. If I host the icons on mine, it works fine, and your other KML files are using icons from maps.google.com, which also works fine.
Since it works in GE, I'm guessing maybe your server is sending the wrong MIME type or something along those lines. I checked with curl and everything looks fine though, so I'm afraid I can't offer any more details than that. Hopefully this helps get you in the right direction. Good luck!
