When creating a polygon using Mapbox GL Draw I do not want the polygon to then be editable, clickable etc. After ending the draw event, I'd like to to just appear as finished like below when it's deselected.
Maybe this is embedded in the simple_select config option?
The Mapbox Draw plugin provides an interface for writing and hooking in custom modes, where a mode is defined as way to group sets of user interactions into one behavior. Mapbox Draw Static Mode is a custom mode that displays data stored in Draw but does not let users interact with it, which sounds like what you are looking for.
modes.simple_select.onDrag function disable the onDrag event.
I give you a small example to can contextualize it.
Inside your #map-init method you should have:
const modes = MapboxDraw.modes;
let draw = new MapboxDraw({
// your mapBoxDraw options
});
map.on("draw.create", updateArea);
modes.draw_polygon.clickAnywhere = function (state, e) {
//your polygon click restrictions
}
modes.simple_select.onDrag = function (state, e) {
//when polygon is deselected onDrag will be false and user not be able to drag it
};
function updateArea(e) {
// your stuff when you're drawing
}

I am trying to use the leaflet-draw tool for two different things:
as a "regular" tool to create new geometries
if I draw a line, I perform some calculations with turf.js, giving me points nearby.
I've set up two individual draw controls for each purpose. For the second, I have all but the draw:polyline disabled. The problem: I save my elements with the
map.on('draw:created', function(){...});
"command". But this way I (or the eventhandler, respectively :)) cant differentiate, if the line was drawn with the first or the second button. So basically i can use the draw tool either for one thing or the other. Is there a way where I can use the same tool for different applications on the same map?
Thanks for any hints or work arounds.
An alternative would be to use Leaflet-Geoman instead of Leaflet-Draw.
There you can create copies of Draw instances and add them a new shape name:
// copy a rectangle and customize its name, block, title and actions
map.pm.Toolbar.copyDrawControl('Polygon', {
name: 'PolygonCopy',
block: 'custom',
title: 'Display text on hover button',
actions: ['cancel', 'removeLastVertex', 'finish'],
});
And then you can check the shape name in the create event:
// listen to when a new layer is created
map.on('pm:create', function(e) {
console.log(e)
if(e.shape === 'Polygon'){
alert('Original Polygon')
}else if(e.shape === 'PolygonCopy'){
alert('Copy Polygon')
}
});

In one of my projects, I have to integrate video on a leaflet Map. I didn't use the extend layer method because the video can have arbitrary dimension and should behave as other elements's map. I'm using a videoOverlay element to do so.
But now I have a problem, how to provide a proper way for the users to controls the video? I try to add the attribute controls inside the html video tag but the controls don't appears.
So I think that my only solution now is to make an external Leaflet controls right ?
Is it possible to have the controls on the video, as classical html video tag ?
First, the getElement() method of L.VideoOverlay to get the relevant instance of HTMLVideoElement.
Then, since HTMLVideoElement is a subclass of HTMLMediaElement, it has a controls property you can modify.
Put together it should look like:
var overlay = L.videoOverlay( /* stuff */ ).addTo(map);
var el = overlay.getElement();
el.controls = true;
or even:
var overlay = L.videoOverlay( /* stuff */ ).addTo(map);
overlay.getElement().controls = true;
Please note that the HTMLVideoElement instance only exists after the L.VideoOverlay has been added to a L.Map.
I'm reading an imageOverlay URL from an ArcGIS webserver that uses the leaflet getBound() coordinates as part of the URL (we have large maps that are filtered for the current window 'extent'). Apologies for not including the actual path (I'm working with sensitive client data). Eg:
http://myarcgiswebserver.com/MapServer/export/dpi=96&format=png32&bbox=27.119750976562504%2C-31.194007509998823%2C32.39044189453126%2C-29.692824739380754&size=1719%2C434
[bbox] = current imageBounds
When dragging my map the imageOverlay url is updated correctly but my leaflet window is no longer aligned to the imageBound values that were set when first adding the imageOverlay which results in a skewed output (this is my assumption):
The only workaround is to remove the existing imageOverlay and add a new one (which ruins the user experience as the map disappears then reappears each time the window is dragged or zoomed).
Am i approaching this problem incorrectly or would the introduction of a function to update the current imageBounds resolve this? Perhaps not a new function but the expansion of setUrl with additional parameters...?
Many thanks for any feedback...
As #ghybs pointed out, your use case might be better served by using the WMS
interface of your ArcGIS server.
Anyway, you say
The only workaround is to remove the existing imageOverlay and add a new one (which ruins the user experience as the map disappears then reappears each time the window is dragged or zoomed).
Well, that glitch is due to you probably doing something like:
Remove old overlay
Add new overlay
Wait until the image is received from the network
Wait one frame so the new overlay is shown
and instead you should be doing something like:
Add new overlay
Wait until the image is received from the network
Remove old overlay
Wait one frame so the new overlay is shown
The problem is just the async wait and the possible race conditions there, but should be easy to hack together, e.g.:
var activeOverlay = null;
var overlayInRequest = null;
map.on('moveend zoomend', {
// If we are already requesting a new overlay, ignore it.
// This might need some additional debouncing logic to prevent
// lots of concurrent requests
if (overlayInRequest) {
overlayInRequest.off('load', showOverlay);
}
overlayInRequest = L.imageOverlay( computeUrl( map.getBounds() ), myOverlayOptions );
overlayInRequest.on('load', showOverlay);
});
function showOverlay(ev) {
activeOverlay.remove();
activeOverlay = overlayInRequest;
activeOverlay.addTo(map);
overlayInRequest = undefined;
}
If you use an ImageOverlay but change its url dynamically, with a new image that reflects a new bounding box, then indeed that is the reason for the behaviour you describe: you display an image that has been generated using a new bbox, but positioned in the initial bbox, since the image overlay remains at the same geographical position on the map.
Instead, it sounds to me that you should use a TileLayer.WMS.
It would automatically manage the bounding box update for you. You may need to find the correct options to fit your service provider required URL syntax, though.

simple question:
How can i set the draggability from all markers in a featureGroup on false?
Thanks, greets!
Simply loop through all markers within the Feature Group using the eachLayer() method, make sure the passed layer is a marker, and disable the dragging functionality using the marker interaction handler.
myFeatureGroup.eachLayer(function (layer) {
if (layer instanceof L.Marker) {
layer.dragging.disable();
}
});
You can also re-enable the dragging functionality using marker.dragging.enable().

My code does a .pantolatlong then a .showinfobox
The info box does not appear, unless I remove the pantolatlong. I guess it is stopping it. I tried adding it to the endpan event but that did not work.
What is the simplest way to pan to a pushpin and display the infobox for it?
I was using setcenter, but I discovered that sometimes setcenter pans, and this breaks it.
After some insane googling, I came up with the solution, and I'll share it here so that others can hopefully not have the grief I went through.
I created and power my bing map using pure javascript, no sdk or iframe solutions. In my code, I generate the javascript to add all of the pins I want to the map, and inject it using an asp.net label.
If you call the setCenter() method on your Bing Map, it is supposed to instantly set the map, surprise surprise, to the coordinates you specify. And it does... most of the time. Occasionally though, it decides to pan between points. If you do a SetCenter, followed by a ShowInfoBox, it will work great, unless it decides to pan.
The solution? Being great programmers we are, we dive into the sdk, and it reveals there are events we can hook into to deal with these. There is an onendpan event, which is triggered after a pan is completed. There is also an onchangeview event, which triggers when the map jumps.
So we hook into these events, and try to display the infobox for our pushpin shape... but nothing happens. Why not?
You have to give it a few milliseconds to catch its breath, for unknown reasons, when the event is called. Using a setTimeout with 10 milliseconds seems to be fine. Your box will appear great after this.
The next problem is, you only want it to appear when it pans via whatever you used to make it flick between your pushpins (in my case, a table with onclick methods). I create/destroy the event handlers on the fly, although there are other options such as using a global variable to track if the user is panning, or if the system is panning in response to a click.
Finally, you have the one bug that comes from this. If you click a place in your list, and it jumps/pans to that location, the infobox will display fine. If the user dismisses it though, then clicks again on the list item, the map does not move, and therefore no events are triggered.
My solution to this is to detect if the map moved or not, by recording its long/lat, and using another setTimeout method, detecting if they changed 100ms later. If they did not, display the infobox.
There are other things you need to keep track of, as there is no way I can see to pass parameters to the eventhandlers so I use global javascript variables for this - you have to know which pushpin shape you are displaying, and also keep track of the previous mapcoordinates before checking to see if they changed.
It took me a while to piece all this together, but it seems to work. Here is my code, some sections are removed:
// An array of our pins to allow panning to them
var myPushPins = [];
// Used by the eventhandler
var eventPinIndex;
var oldMapCenter;
// Zoom in and center on a pin, then show its information box
function ShowPushPin(pinIndex) {
eventPinIndex = pinIndex;
oldMapCenter = map.GetCenter();
map.AttachEvent("onendpan", EndPanHandler);
map.AttachEvent("onchangeview", ChangeViewHandler);
setTimeout("DetectNoMapChange();", 200);
map.SetZoomLevel(9);
map.SetCenter(myPushPins[pinIndex].GetPoints()[0]);
}
function EndPanHandler(e) {
map.DetachEvent("onendpan", EndPanHandler);
setTimeout("map.ShowInfoBox(myPushPins[eventPinIndex]);", 10);
}
function ChangeViewHandler(e) {
map.DetachEvent("onchangeview", ChangeViewHandler);
setTimeout("map.ShowInfoBox(myPushPins[eventPinIndex]);", 10);
}
function DetectNoMapChange(centerofmap) {
if (map.GetCenter().Latitude == oldMapCenter.Latitude && map.GetCenter().Longitude == oldMapCenter.Longitude) {
map.ShowInfoBox(myPushPins[eventPinIndex]);
}
}
Here is another way:
function addPushpin(lat,lon,pinNumber) {
var pinLocation = new Microsoft.Maps.Location(lat, lon);
var pin = new Microsoft.Maps.Pushpin(map.getCenter(), { text: pinNumber.toString() });
pinInfobox = new Microsoft.Maps.Infobox(pinLocation,
{ title: 'Details',
description: 'Latitude: ' + lat.toString() + ' Longitude: ' + lon.toString(),
offset: new Microsoft.Maps.Point(0, 15)
});
map.entities.push(pinInfobox);
map.entities.push(pin);
pin.setLocation(pinLocation);
map.setView({ center: pinLocation});
}
