Draw Rectangle Mode

Rectangle Mode allows you to create rectangles on the map by clicking and dragging to define opposite corners.

You can enable Draw Rectangle Mode like this:

map.gm.enableDraw('rectangle');
map.gm.disableDraw();
map.gm.toggleDraw('rectangle');
map.gm.drawEnabled('rectangle');

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

The following events are available on a map instance:
