Hi, I used MapServer with OpenLayers to display the road map of a country. Now, I want to select a particular and add a moving object to it.
Adding a moving object to the map is easy. ( I drew a point on the map and I'm just moving it by calling OpenLayers.Geometry.move() ) However I want these points to move only on roads. So, first I need to select a road and then add the moving object. This is the hard part for me. The examples section has an example (OpenLayers Select Feature Example http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/select-feature.html ) showing how to select a point, line or polygon (or any vector feature) which I draw there by either drawing a box or moving mouse over the feature etc. But how do we select a feature from the base layer? (Does the base layer even have features at all?) By this what I mean is how do we select the country boundaries in the above webpage. Thank you for your time. I'm a student just started using OpenLayers around 1 week back. So, please bear with my questions. ~PN -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/selecting-a-feature-in-a-base-layer-tp2328559p2328559.html Sent from the OpenLayers Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
