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 is a follow-up for https://github.com/openlayers/ol3/pull/711
for the GML parser. Also use goog.array.map instead of map as was
pointed out by @twpayne on the WKT review and update the example data
to use all US states as pointed out by @tschaub on the Google hangout.
With this change, hit detection for lines and points gets very
accurate, because the vector renderer instance keeps track of
line widths and point symbol sizes. After doing a bbox query in
the RTree, returned lines and points are evaluated against the
thresholds of their line width or symbol size. The KML example
with its different symbolizers now has getFeatureInfo too to
show this in action.
This adds a parser (read/write) for GML v2 and v3. GML v3 is limited to the
simple features profile of GML 3.1.1, just like OpenLayers 2 was. This will
be the basis for the WFS parser, but it only makes sense to continue this work
once feature modification (insert, update, delete) is in place in ol3. So the
WFS parser will be another pull request.
As suggested by @tschaub in #674, geom.pointInPoly is not needed
if we have geom.LinearRing#containsCoordinate. This pull request
also adds tests and documentation on the limitations of the
containsCoordinate method.
I think for now it is ok to keep geometry/topology functions as
simple as possible in ol3. If we decide to not rely on third
party libraries like jsts for topology operations, we can always
refine what we have and e.g. port topology operations over from
ol2.
Missing CSS was confirmed with issue #680, this commit is to fix it and change
ol-mouse-position class to ol-mouseposition. I choose for the moment the top
right corner to display the coordinates from mouse position control because of
potential conflict with the scaleline control.
This method is an entry point for getting feature information.
Renderers can use a hit canvas or defer to a layer (source) to
get matching features for a pixel.
For now this is only implemented for vector layers, and it uses
a bbox query because we cannot refine the result because of
missing geometry intersection functions yet.
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.
