import Draw from 'ol/interaction/draw';

Interaction for drawing feature geometries.

new ol.interaction.Draw(options)

src/ol/interaction/draw.js, line 39
Name Type Description
options

Options.

Name Type Description
clickTolerance number | undefined

The maximum distance in pixels between "down" and "up" for a "up" event to be considered a "click" event and actually add a point/vertex to the geometry being drawn. Default is 6 pixels. That value was chosen for the draw interaction to behave correctly on mouse as well as on touch devices.

features ol.Collection.<ol.Feature> | undefined

Destination collection for the drawn features.

source ol.source.Vector | undefined

Destination source for the drawn features.

snapTolerance number | undefined

Pixel distance for snapping to the drawing finish. Default is 12.

type ol.geom.GeometryType | string

Drawing type ('Point', 'LineString', 'Polygon', 'MultiPoint', 'MultiLineString', 'MultiPolygon' or 'Circle'). Required.

stopClick boolean | undefined

Stop click, singleclick, and doubleclick events from firing during drawing. Default is false.

maxPoints number | undefined

The number of points that can be drawn before a polygon ring or line string is finished. The default is no restriction.

minPoints number | undefined

The number of points that must be drawn before a polygon ring or line string can be finished. Default is 3 for polygon rings and 2 for line strings.

finishCondition ol.EventsConditionType | undefined

A function that takes an ol.MapBrowserEvent and returns a boolean to indicate whether the drawing can be finished.

style ol.style.Style | Array.<ol.style.Style> | ol.StyleFunction | undefined

Style for sketch features.

geometryFunction ol.DrawGeometryFunctionType | undefined

Function that is called when a geometry's coordinates are updated.

geometryName string | undefined

Geometry name to use for features created by the draw interaction.

condition ol.EventsConditionType | undefined

A function that takes an ol.MapBrowserEvent and returns a boolean to indicate whether that event should be handled. By default ol.events.condition.noModifierKeys, i.e. a click, adds a vertex or deactivates freehand drawing.

freehand boolean | undefined

Operate in freehand mode for lines, polygons, and circles. This makes the interaction always operate in freehand mode and takes precedence over any freehandCondition option.

freehandCondition ol.EventsConditionType | undefined

Condition that activates freehand drawing for lines and polygons. This function takes an ol.MapBrowserEvent and returns a boolean to indicate whether that event should be handled. The default is ol.events.condition.shiftKeyOnly, meaning that the Shift key activates freehand drawing.

wrapX boolean | undefined

Wrap the world horizontally on the sketch overlay. Default is false.

Methods

ol.interaction.Draw.createBox(){ol.DrawGeometryFunctionType}

src/ol/interaction/draw.js, line 817

Create a geometryFunction that will create a box-shaped polygon (aligned with the coordinate system axes). Use this with the draw interaction and type: 'Circle' to return a box instead of a circle geometry.

Returns:
Function that draws a box-shaped polygon.

ol.interaction.Draw.createRegularPolygon(opt_sides, opt_angle){ol.DrawGeometryFunctionType}

src/ol/interaction/draw.js, line 787

Create a geometryFunction for type: 'Circle' that will create a regular polygon with a user specified number of sides and start angle instead of an ol.geom.Circle geometry.

Name Type Description
sides number

Number of sides of the regular polygon. Default is 32.

angle number

Angle of the first point in radians. 0 means East. Default is the angle defined by the heading from the center of the regular polygon to the current pointer position.

Returns:
Function that draws a polygon.

ol.interaction.Draw.handleEvent(event){boolean}

src/ol/interaction/draw.js, line 323

Handles the map browser event and may actually draw or finish the drawing.

This:
Name Type Description
event ol.MapBrowserEvent

Map browser event.

Returns:
false to stop event propagation.

changed() inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 58

Increases the revision counter and dispatches a 'change' event.

dispatchEvent(event) inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 75

Dispatches an event and calls all listeners listening for events of this type. The event parameter can either be a string or an Object with a type property.

Name Type Description
event Object | ol.events.Event | string

Event object.

extend(feature)

src/ol/interaction/draw.js, line 720

Extend an existing geometry by adding additional points. This only works on features with LineString geometries, where the interaction will extend lines by adding points to the end of the coordinates array.

Name Type Description
feature ol.Feature

Feature to be extended.

finishDrawing()

src/ol/interaction/draw.js, line 657

Stop drawing and add the sketch feature to the target layer. The ol.interaction.DrawEventType.DRAWEND event is dispatched before inserting the feature.

get(key){*} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 101

Gets a value.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

Returns:
Value.

getActive(){boolean} inherited

src/ol/interaction/interaction.js, line 56

Return whether the interaction is currently active.

Returns:
true if the interaction is active, false otherwise.

getKeys(){Array.<string>} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 115

Get a list of object property names.

Returns:
List of property names.

getMap(){ol.PluggableMap} inherited

src/ol/interaction/interaction.js, line 67

Get the map associated with this interaction.

Returns:
Map.

getProperties(){Object.<string, *>} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 125

Get an object of all property names and values.

Returns:
Object.

getRevision(){number} inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 84

Get the version number for this object. Each time the object is modified, its version number will be incremented.

Returns:
Revision.

on(type, listener, opt_this){ol.EventsKey|Array.<ol.EventsKey>} inherited

Listen for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

The listener function.

this Object

The object to use as this in listener.

Returns:
Unique key for the listener. If called with an array of event types as the first argument, the return will be an array of keys.

once(type, listener, opt_this){ol.EventsKey|Array.<ol.EventsKey>} inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 124

Listen once for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object to use as this in listener.
