The canvas vector layer still has the (API candidate) `getFeatures` method that accepts an arbitrary expression (was filter). This, and the `getFeaturesObject` method under it are only used in the tests. The rendering code that was using filters is now calling `layer.getFeaturesObjectForExtent` with an explicit extent and optional geometry type.
To avoid surprises for application developers, this change
creates a new getFeatures method. So it is clear now beforehand
whether features or feature info markup is returned. The result
is now also grouped by layer, so application developers always
have a link between a layer and the feature info it returns.
To make getFeatureInfo return markup for vector layers, this
change also adds a featureInfoFunction property to the vector
layer, which gives developers full control over how features are
rendered to feature info markup.
This change reverts the RTree API back to the original one (i.e.
insert() instead of put(), search() instead of find()), and
creates a new searchReturningObject() method that returns an
object keyed by UIDs.
It also adds missing tests for type restricted search and
searchReturningObject().
XMLHttpRequest in the KML example
Since the content-type on github.io is application/octet-stream we need
to implement an Async string based parser interface in the KML parser.
Also use plain XmlHttpRequest in the example instead of jQuery Ajax since
the vector-features example also uses that.
This adds ol.parser.ogc.KML which can be used to read and write KML documents.
NetworkLinks are retrieved asynchronously.
Current caveats of the implementation are:
* LabelStyle not yet implemented. Missing support in renderers.
* When using shared structures the parser needs to be configured with
dimension 2.
* We need a better way to disable fill, currently we use opacity as a
workaround.
* We cannot really roundtrip documents, since some of the info is not
preserved in the ol structures. But we can write out most of the important
info.
This avoids features being rendered multiple times when they
cross tile borders. Currently this makes the style-rules.html
example extremely slow. Fix for that to come in my next commit.
The RTree can easily maintain an additional index dimension,
by passing a type with each added item. Now instead of
maintaining an RTree for each geometry type, we have a single
RTree with a type filter. With this change, using the RTree
finally speeds up rendering as expected.
Now vector layers can have a style. ol.Style instances have an
apply method to get the symbolizer literals for a feature. If the
layer does not have a style defined, there is also a static
applyDefaultStyle function on ol.Style to get the default
symbolizer literals for a feature. The vector layer also got a
groupFeaturesBySymbolizerLiteral method, which returns an array
with features grouped by symbolizer, as needed by the canvas
renderer.
