Markers in Openlayers.

[Paul Deschamps]

Hi All,

Want your two cents on the prospect on adding  the "OpenLayers.Layer.Markers" class  into trunk/lib//lib/OpenLayers/OpenLayers.js

Adding a markers layer is quite easy as long as that class is loaded (obviously ;)

Here's a very basic implementation of adding a OL marker in a Fusion app.

function addMarker(iLon,iLat){

    // get the map and map widget
    var mapWidget = Fusion.getMapById('mapArea');
    var maps = mapWidget.getAllMaps();
    var map = maps[0];

    // create a markers layer called "Markers"
    var markers = new OpenLayers.Layer.Markers( "Markers" );

    // add the marker layer to the OL Map.
    mapWidget.oMapOL.addLayer(markers);

    // OL Image related stuff.
    var size = new OpenLayers.Size(10,17);
    var offset = new OpenLayers.Pixel(-(size.w/2), -size.h);
    var icon = new OpenLayers.Icon('http://boston.openguides.org/markers/AQUA.png',size,offset);

    // add the marker.
    markers.addMarker(new OpenLayers.Marker(new OpenLayers.LonLat(iLon,iLat),icon));
}

Do we want to add the OpenLayers.Layer.Markers class in 1.1?

Cheers

Paul D.

I think we'll be able to add a marker layer easily with the Mike's work
about support for OpenLayers Layer. But maybe this work is only for
"normal layer" like MapGuide, MapServer, WMS etc.. ? I think Markers are
very useful so.... i hope to see them in the 1.1.
