I'm pretty confused. I have a point:
x= -12669114.702301
y= 5561132.6760608
That I got from drawing a square on a vector layer with the DrawFeature controller.
The numbers seem...erm...awfull large, but they seem to work, because if I later draw a square with all the same points, it's in the same position, so I figure they have to be right.
The problem is when I try to convert this point to latitude and longitude.
I'm using:
map.getLonLatFromPixel(pointToPixel(points[0]));
Where points[0] is a geometry Point, and the pointToPixel function takes any point and turns it into a pixel (since the getLonLatFromPixel needs a pixel). It does this by simply taking the point's x, and making it the pixels x, and so on.
The latitude and longitude I get is on the order of:
lat: -54402718463.864
lng: -18771380.353223
This is very clearly wrong. I'm left really confused. I try projecting this object, using:
.transform(new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"), map.getProjectionObject());
But I don't really get it and am pretty sure I did it incorrectly, anyways.
My code is here: http://pastie.org/909644
I'm sort of at a loss. The coordinates seem consistent, because I can reuse them to get the same result...but they seem way larger than any of the examples I'm seeing on the openLayers website...
