Nice idea! Is there any plan of making method for drawing polyline?
Hi!
If we understood you correctly, this is basically adding support for drawing tools, right?
We’ve created [an issue on this]
(https://github.com/FlowingCode/GoogleMapsAddon/issues/5), feel free to add more details in there, but we’ll keep you posted on this if we decide to implement it.
Regards.
Hi,
I don’t think it’s some drawing tool - but forgive me, I have never worked directly with google maps. What I know is that “making” polylines over map is one of basic functionalities ( like placing marker or polygon ) when working with map. You can see an example on this addon also made for Vaadin but it supports Vaadin 7 and 8 https://vaadin.com/directory/component/googlemaps-add-on
Oh, sorry, I assumed that you already took a look to [our demo]
(https://addonsv14.flowingcode.com/googlemaps) and to [the source code]
(https://github.com/FlowingCode/GoogleMapsAddon/blob/de2f47684e68e8eb49d3eea50281935d5f240c6c/src/test/java/com/flowingcode/vaadin/addons/googlemaps/DemoView.java#L51), since those are already supported (you can create markers, polygons and lines from server-side).
Regards.
Yes, I did have a look, but if I use addPolygon method with 4 points, like in your demo, will it automatically make polygon even if my last point is not the same as the first?
Which method to use if I want to draw only line, not polygon, on a map?
I am not sure if I am describing this well…
You have to call this method: setClosed(false); … that will make it as an “open” polygon so it will render a line instead of a polygon.
Regards.
Great,
That’s what I was missed,
thanks, I will try it.
