Google Maps Module V 1.3

New stuff in version 1.3

These are the new features:

• factory method
• add polylines to map
• add polygons to map

Examples

Displaying a simple Google Map

The prefered way of creating an instance is through the static "factory" method. This allows you to directly use method-chaining.

public function action_index()
{
	// Simply display a blank Google Map, with the options set in your config.
	$this->template->bind('map', Gmap::factory());
} // function

Displaying two (or more) polylines on a Google Map

Displaying a polyline is as easy as can be - You may add your own color, stroke weight and stroke opacity, if you wish. If not, this options will be set by the default settings of the config-file.

public function action_index()
{
	// Set the options for the polyline.
	$options = array(
		'strokeColor' => '#f00',
		'strokeOpacity' => .5,
		'strokeWeight' => 10,
	);
	
	$coords = array(
		array(50.123, 6.123),
		array(51.234, 6.234),
		array(52.345, 6.345),
	);
	
	$coords2 = array(
		array(51.123, 7.123),
		array(52.234, 7.234),
		array(53.345, 7.345),
	);
	
	$gmap = Gmap::factory()
		->add_polyline('polyline one', $coords, $options)
		->add_polyline('polyline two', $coords2);
	$this->template->bind('map', $gmap);
} // function

Displaying two (or more) polygons on a Google Map

This is mainly the same way how you display a polyline - You just have two new options:

• fillColor
• fillOpacity

public function action_index()
{
	$options = array(
		'strokeColor' => '#f00',
		'strokeOpacity' => .5,
		'strokeWeight' => 10,
		'fillColor' => '#f00',
		'fillOpacity' => .5,
	);
	
	$coords = array(
		array(50.123, 6.123),
		array(51.234, 6.234),
		array(52.345, 6.345),
	);
	
	$coords2 = array(
		array(51.123, 7.123),
		array(52.234, 7.234),
		array(53.345, 7.345),
	);
	
	$gmap = Gmap::factory()
		->add_polygon('polyline one', $coords, $options)
		->add_polygon('polyline two', $coords2);
	$this->template->bind('map', $gmap);
} // function
