Dear OpenLayers developers, For one of the projects we are currently working on, we need to add some functionnalities to OpenLayers. Before we start, I would like to expose to you those different elements. We think that they could be part of the future of OpenLayers and integrated as is (or with little rewrite) in a forthcoming release.
The aim of this mail is to start a discussion on this. We hope that with such an approach, we'll be able to develop the needed functionnalities with the agreement of the developpers community. We want to discuss with you all about use cases, design preferences, and especially if it is has a chance to be integrated in the trunk or if it is more like application level elements. Here are listed the functionnalities, note that they mainly concern editing tools : - snapping: the user can draw or modify a vector feature geometry with snapping enabled. We first need vertice snapping only, but we can also think about segment snapping. Found this definition : http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/agidexe/term?846 - drag/add/remove vertice - create island/donut polygons (polygon hole cutter) If, in your opinion, those functionnalities are to be accepted in the trunk, I'll give more details on how we imagine to implement them. Side note : some of the previously listed tools were already added by Bertil and I in the first vector branch (late 2006). Tim, you just created a wiki page to list ideas for the future of OpenLayers. Do the current considerations have to be added there ?
