#Leaflet.draw Adds support for drawing polys to Leaflet.
Check out the demo
This plugin was inspired by @brunob's draw plugin. I decided to create a new repo rather than forking as I wanted to take the coding style and functionality in a different direction.
#Using the plugin
If you are happy with the control being displayed below the zoom controls just set drawControl = true
when declaring your Leaflet map.
E.g.:
var cloudmadeUrl = 'http://{s}.tile.cloudmade.com/BC9A493B41014CAABB98F0471D759707/997/256/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
cloudmade = new L.TileLayer(cloudmadeUrl, {maxZoom: 18}),
map = new L.Map('map', {layers: [cloudmade], center: new L.LatLng(-37.7772, 175.2756), zoom: 15, drawControl: true });
If you would like to reposition the control, turn off a type or customize the styles then add the control manually:
var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
position: 'topright',
polyline: false
});
map.addControl(drawControl);
See example/map-polydraw.html for a working example.
#Customize shape styles
L.Control.Draw can take an options object. You can customize the look and behaviour like so:
var options = {
polyline: {
shapeOptions: {
color: '#f357a1',
weight: 10
}
},
polygon: {
allowIntersection: false, // Restricts shapes to simple polygons
drawError: {
color: '#e1e100, // Color the shape will turn when intersects
message: '<strong>Oh snap!<strong> you can\'t draw that!' // Message that will show when intersect
},
shapeOptions: {
color: '#bada55'
}
},
circle: false, // Turns off this drawing tool
rectangle: {
shapeOptions: {
clickable: false
}
},
}
The shape styles are the leaflet Path and Polyline options.
#Custom marker
To use a different image as the marker, simple override the icon option of option.marker:
// Declare a new Leaflet Icon
var MyCustomMarker = L.Icon.extend({
options: {
shadowUrl: null,
iconAnchor: new L.Point(12, 12),
iconSize: new L.Point(24, 24),
iconUrl: 'link/to/image.png'
}
});
// Pass this new icon in using options.marker
var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
marker: {
icon: new MyCustomMarker()
}
});
#Official support Leaflet plan to include drawing in 0.4 so this is just a band-aid until it comes. See https://github.com/CloudMade/Leaflet/issues/174
