Detailed Description

The MapPolygon type displays a polygon on a Map, specified in terms of an ordered list of coordinates. For best appearance and results, polygons should be simple (not self-intersecting).

The coordinates on the path cannot be directly changed after being added to the Polygon. Instead, copy the path into a var, modify the copy and reassign the copy back to the path.

var path = mapPolygon.path;
path[0].latitude = 5;
mapPolygon.path = path;

Coordinates can also be added and removed at any time using the addCoordinate and removeCoordinate methods.

For drawing rectangles with "straight" edges (same latitude across one edge, same latitude across the other), the MapRectangle type provides a simpler, two-point API.

By default, the polygon is displayed as a 1 pixel black border with no fill. To change its appearance, use the color, border.color and border.width properties.

Example Usage

The following snippet shows a MapPolygon being used to display a triangle, with three vertices near Brisbane, Australia. The triangle is filled in green, with a 1 pixel black border.

Map {
    MapPolygon {
        color: 'green'
        path: [
            { latitude: -27, longitude: 153.0 },
            { latitude: -27, longitude: 154.1 },
            { latitude: -28, longitude: 153.5 }
        ]
    }
}
