Class: Geometry

ol.geom.Geometry

Abstract base class; normally only used for creating subclasses and not instantiated in apps. Base class for vector geometries.

To get notified of changes to the geometry, register a listener for the generic change event on your geometry instance.

new ol.geom.Geometry()

src/ol/geom/geometry.js, line 61
Fires:
  • change experimental - Triggered when the revision counter is increased.
  • propertychange (ol.ObjectEvent) - Triggered when a property is changed.

Methods

changed() inherited experimental

src/ol/observable.js, line 50

Increases the revision counter and dispatches a 'change' event.

dispatchEvent(event) inherited experimental

src/ol/observable.js, line 72

Dispatches an event and calls all listeners listening for events of this type. The event parameter can either be a string or an Object with a type property.

Name Type Description
event goog.events.EventLike

Event object.

get(key){*} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 147

Gets a value.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

Returns:
Value.

getClosestPoint(point, opt_closestPoint){ol.Coordinate}

src/ol/geom/geometry.js, line 125

Return the closest point of the geometry to the passed point as coordinate.

Name Type Description
point ol.Coordinate

Point.

closestPoint ol.Coordinate

Closest point.

Returns:
Closest point.

getExtent(opt_extent){ol.Extent}

src/ol/geom/geometry.js, line 163

Get the extent of the geometry.

Name Type Description
extent ol.Extent

Extent.

Returns:
extent Extent.

getKeys(){Array.<string>} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 161

Get a list of object property names.

Returns:
List of property names.

getProperties(){Object.<string, *>} inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 171

Get an object of all property names and values.

Returns:
Object.

getRevision(){number} inherited experimental

src/ol/observable.js, line 81

Get the version number for this object. Each time the object is modified, its version number will be incremented.

Returns:
Revision.

on(type, listener, opt_this){goog.events.Key} inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 94

Listen for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object to use as this in listener.

Returns:
Unique key for the listener.

once(type, listener, opt_this){goog.events.Key} inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 107

Listen once for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object to use as this in listener.

Returns:
Unique key for the listener.

set(key, value, opt_silent) inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 201

Sets a value.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

value *

Value.

silent boolean

Update without triggering an event.

setProperties(values, opt_silent) inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 221

Sets a collection of key-value pairs. Note that this changes any existing properties and adds new ones (it does not remove any existing properties).

Name Type Description
values Object.<string, *>

Values.

silent boolean

Update without triggering an event.

simplify(tolerance){ol.geom.Geometry} experimental

src/ol/geom/geometry.js, line 184

Create a simplified version of this geometry. For linestrings, this uses the the Douglas Peucker algorithm. For polygons, a quantization-based simplification is used to preserve topology.

Name Type Description
tolerance number

The tolerance distance for simplification.

Returns:
A new, simplified version of the original geometry.

transform(source, destination){ol.geom.Geometry}

src/ol/geom/geometry.js, line 253

Transform each coordinate of the geometry from one coordinate reference system to another. The geometry is modified in place. For example, a line will be transformed to a line and a circle to a circle. If you do not want the geometry modified in place, first clone() it and then use this function on the clone.

Name Type Description
source ol.proj.ProjectionLike

The current projection. Can be a string identifier or a ol.proj.Projection object.

destination ol.proj.ProjectionLike

The desired projection. Can be a string identifier or a ol.proj.Projection object.

Returns:
This geometry. Note that original geometry is modified in place.

un(type, listener, opt_this) inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 120

Unlisten for a certain type of event.

Name Type Description
type string | Array.<string>

The event type or array of event types.

listener function

The listener function.

this Object

The object which was used as this by the listener.

unByKey(key) inherited

src/ol/observable.js, line 133

Removes an event listener using the key returned by on() or once(). Note that using the ol.Observable.unByKey static function is to be preferred.

Name Type Description
key goog.events.Key

The key returned by on() or once().

unset(key, opt_silent) inherited

src/ol/object.js, line 235

Unsets a property.

Name Type Description
key string

Key name.

silent boolean

Unset without triggering an event.
