distance between wifi-nodes

[Soumya Banerjee]

I'm plotting the distance of wifi nodes using the following snippet of code:

Ptr<MobilityModel> mob = nodes.Get(id)->GetObject<MobilityModel>();

Vector pos = mob->GetPosition ();

std::ostringstream oss;

oss <<"for node "<<id<<"  POS: x=" << pos.x << ", y=" << pos.y << std::endl;

corrosponding output :

for node 1  POS: x=-85.2645, y=143.92

is this distance in metres (from the origin) ?

[Konstantinos]

These are the coordinates of the node (X,Y) - its position.

I need to plot the nodes in a map
i want to know what is the distance (in meters) for one unit distance in the coordinate system

Nice

shall we also come there and type on the keyboard for you?

You may as well ask to have your house cleaned and dinner cooked while we're at it.

COME ON !

What is the ***** difficulty in calculating a DISTANCE from the node's COORDINATES ?

Shall we do the math for you? It's basic trigonometry. They teach it to 12 years kids !

[Soumya Banerjee]

I'm asking for the confirmation if the unit of the distance is in meters

[Tommaso Pecorella]

Well, then be clearer in the question.

Yes, they're meters. We already found some bugs with units conversion confusions, and I'm fairly sure that more could be found. if you find one of those bugs, report it immediately, thanks.
