title: Tracing around a polygon
-shortdesc: Example of setting up a draw interaction to easily snap to an existing feature.
+shortdesc: Using the draw interaction to trace around features.
docs: >
- This example showcases how the draw interaction API can be set up to make snapping along
- an existing geometry easier while preserving topology, which is sometimes called "tracing".
- When the user clicks on two different points on the Idaho state border,
- the part of the border comprised between these two points is added to
- the currently drawn feature.
- This leverages the `appendCoordinates` method of the `ol/interaction/Draw` interaction.

+ The draw interaction has a trace option to enable tracing
+ around existing features. This example uses the traceSource option
+ to trace features from one source and add them to another source. The first click
+ on an edge of the Idaho feature will start tracing. The second click on the edge
+ will stop tracing.
