--- layout: example.html title: Draw and Modify Geodesic Circles shortdesc: Example of using Draw and Modify interactions for geodesic circles. docs: > Example of using the `ol/interaction/Draw` interaction with a custom geometry function together with the `ol/interaction/Modify` interaction to draw and modify geodesic circles (a `ol/geom/Polygon#circular` polygon representing a circle on the surface of the Earth's sphere). The polygon is placed in a `ol/geom/GeometryCollection` together with a `ol/geom/Point` which allows the Modify interaction to adjust the circle center as well as the radius. Custom style functions ensure the correct final geometry is displayed throughout. `ol/geom/Circle` projected (planar) geometries can also be drawn and modified. The difference between geodesic and projected circles can be seen when their centers are moved between northern and southern latitudes in the Web Mercator projection. The `ol/interaction/Snap` interaction can be used to create concentric circles. tags: "draw, edit, modify, vector, circle, sphere, geodesic" ---
