You can read about the OverlayView in the docs ( http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/v3/overlays.html#CustomOverlays) and about MVC techniques in a article that I recently wrote ( http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/mvcfun.html) Hope this helps - Luke <http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/mvcfun.html> On Tue, Apr 20, 2010 at 1:55 PM, Bradley <[email protected]> wrote: > It should be noted that the intention here is to be able to generate > many circle overlays of different colours each with different sizes > and text, which is why I'd like to avoid an image. > > On Apr 20, 4:37 pm, Bradley <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've been exploring V3 for a bit and I noticed the Circle overlay, > > plus the ability to create custom overlays by extending > > google.maps.OverlayView. > > > > I'm trying to combine these so I can have a circle overlay with some > > custom, dynamically generated text inside.
