Class: DragBox

ol.interaction.DragBox

Allows the user to draw a vector box by clicking and dragging on the map, normally combined with an ol.events.condition that limits it to when the shift or other key is held down. This is used, for example, for zooming to a specific area of the map (see ol.interaction.DragZoom and ol.interaction.DragRotateAndZoom).

This interaction is only supported for mouse devices.

Methods

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;
    }
  );

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

src/ol/observable.js, line 75

Listen 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.

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

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.

setActive(active) inherited experimental

src/ol/interaction/interaction.js, line 89

Activate or deactivate the interaction.

Name Type Description

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object which was used as this by the listener.

unbind(key) inherited experimental

src/ol/object.js, line 470

Removes a binding. Unbinding will set the unbound property to the current value. The object will not be notified, as the value has not changed.

key string

Key name.

unbindAll() inherited experimental

src/ol/object.js, line 487

Removes all bindings.

unByKey(key) inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 114

Removes an event listener using the key returned by on() or once(). Note that using the ol.Observable.unByKey static function is to be preferred.

Name Type Description
key goog.events.Key

The key returned by on() or once().
