Class: ScaleLine

ol.control.ScaleLine

A control displaying rough x-axis distances, calculated for the center of the viewport. No scale line will be shown when the x-axis distance cannot be calculated in the view projection (e.g. at or beyond the poles in EPSG:4326). By default the scale line will show in the bottom left portion of the map, but this can be changed by using the css selector .ol-scale-line.

bindTo(key, target, opt_targetKey){ol.ObjectAccessor} inherited experimental

src/ol/object.js, line 326

The bindTo method allows you to set up a two-way binding between a source and target object. The method returns an object with a transform method that you can use to provide from and to functions to transform values on the way from the source to the target and on the way back.

For example, if you had two map views (sourceView and targetView) and you wanted the target view to have double the resolution of the source view, you could transform the resolution on the way to and from the target with the following:

sourceView.bindTo('resolution', targetView)
  .transform(
    function(sourceResolution) {
      // from sourceView.resolution to targetView.resolution
      return 2 * sourceResolution;
    },
    function(targetResolution) {
      // from targetView.resolution to sourceView.resolution
      return targetResolution / 2;
    }
  );

Returns:
Unique key for the listener.

once(type, listener, opt_this){goog.events.Key} inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 88

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.

Returns:
Unique key for the listener.

set(key, value) inherited experimental

src/ol/object.js, line 437

Sets a value.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

value *

Value.

setMap(map) inherited

src/ol/control/control.js, line 107

Remove the control from its current map and attach it to the new map. Subclasses may set up event handlers to get notified about changes to the map here.

Name Type Description
map ol.Map

Map.

setProperties(values) inherited experimental

src/ol/object.js, line 456

Sets a collection of key-value pairs.

Name Type Description
values Object.<string, *>

Values.

setTarget(target) inherited experimental

src/ol/control/control.js, line 138

This function is used to set a target element for the control. It has no effect if it is called after the control has been added to the map (i.e. after setMap is called on the control). If no target is set in the options passed to the control constructor and if setTarget is not called then the control is added to the map's overlay container.

Name Type Description
target Element | string

Target.

setUnits(units)

src/ol/control/scalelinecontrol.js, line 187
Name Type Description
units ol.control.ScaleLineUnits

The units to use in the scale line.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object which was used as this by the listener.

src/ol/object.js, line 487

Removes all bindings.

unByKey(key) inherited
