Draw Line Mode

Line Mode allows you to create lines on the map by clicking to add vertices.

You can enable Draw Line Mode like this:

map.gm.enableDraw("line");
map.gm.disableDraw();
map.gm.toggleDraw("line");
map.gm.drawEnabled("line");

// Or like this:
map.gm.enableMode("draw", "line");
map.gm.disableMode("draw", "line");
map.gm.toggleMode("draw", "line");
map.gm.isModeEnabled("draw", "line");

The following events are available on a map instance:

EventParamsDescriptionOutput

Behavior

Line drawing operates by:

  1. Clicking on the map to place the first vertex
  2. Moving the mouse to see a preview of the line segment
  3. Clicking again to add additional vertices
  4. Double-clicking or clicking on the first vertex to complete the line
