About a month ago, Christopher Schmidt, Tim Schaub, and a few others
talked to me about the emerging geometry editing tools in OL. I am
currently using the point/line/polygon stuff from 2.4 in my own
application. It is quite nice, but falls short of what we developed
outside of OL a year ago. Here are the two main functionality gaps that
we are interested in:
* complex geometry support (multi-point, multi-line, multi-polygon,
and inner ring). I see that this is supported in the geometry
model itself, but not the editing tools. In my own work, I
implemented this through a set of toolbars.
* geometry editing. The move vertex stuff in
http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/tschaub/feature/examples/modify-feature.html
is nice, but to be complete, it needs to also be able to delete
vertices, insert vertices before/after another vertex, and
add/remove geometry parts. In my own work, I implemented this
through popups on vertices.
I could not get much of a feel from TRAC what work, if any, is being
planned in these areas. If someone else is currently working on this
stuff, I would be willing to collaborate. If not, well, I'll just start
messing around and see what I can come up with.
