# Important
Leaflet.draw 0.2.0 requires [Leaflet 0.6](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet/archive/v0.6.zip) or higher.

#Leaflet.draw
Adds support for drawing and editing vectors and markers on [Leaflet maps](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet). Check out the [demo](http://leaflet.github.com/Leaflet.draw/)

#### Upgrading from Leaflet.draw 0.1

Leaflet.draw 0.2.0 changes a LOT of things from 0.1. Please see [BREAKING CHANGES](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.draw/blob/master/BREAKINGCHANGES.md) for how to upgrade.

## Using the plugin

The default state for the control is the draw toolbar just below the zoom control. This will allow map users to draw vectors and markers. **Please note the edit toolbar is not enabled by default.**

Too add the draw toolbar set the option `drawControl: true` in the map options.

````js
// create a map in the "map" div, set the view to a given place and zoom
var map = L.map('map', {drawControl: true}).setView([51.505, -0.09], 13);

// add an OpenStreetMap tile layer
L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
    attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
}).addTo(map);
````

### Adding the edit toolbar

To use the edit toolbar you must initialise the Leaflet.draw control and manually add it to the map.

````js
// create a map in the "map" div, set the view to a given place and zoom
var map = L.map('map').setView([51.505, -0.09], 13);

// add an OpenStreetMap tile layer
L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.osm.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
    attribution: '&copy; <a href="http://osm.org/copyright">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
}).addTo(map);

// Initialize the FeatureGroup to store editable layers
var drawnItems = new L.FeatureGroup();
map.addLayer(drawnItems);

// Initialize the draw control and pass it the FeatureGroup of editable layers
var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
	edit: {
		featureGroup: drawnItems
	}
});
map.addControl(drawControl);
````

The key here is the `featureGroup` option. This tells the plugin which `FeatureGroup` that contains the layers that should be editable.

### Events

#### Customizing language and text in Leaflet.draw

Leaflet.draw uses the `L.drawLocal` configuration object to set any text used in the plugin. Customizing this will allow support for changing the text or supporting another language.

See [Leaflet.draw.js](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.draw/blob/master/src/Leaflet.draw.js) for the default strings.

E.g.

````js
// Set the button title text for the polygon button
L.drawLocal.draw.toolbar.buttons.polygon = 'Draw a sexy polygon!';

// Set the tooltip start text for the rectangle
L.drawLocal.draw.handlers.rectangle.tooltip.start = 'Not telling...';
````

## Common tasks

The following examples outline some common tasks.

### Example Leaflet.draw config

The following example will show you how to:

1. Change the position of the control's toolbar.
2. Customize the styles of a vector layer.
3. Use a custom marker.
4. Disable the delete functionality.

````js
var cloudmadeUrl = 'http://{s}.tile.cloudmade.com/BC9A493B41014CAABB98F0471D759707/997/256/{z}/{x}/{y}.png',
	cloudmade = new L.TileLayer(cloudmadeUrl, {maxZoom: 18}),
	map = new L.Map('map', {layers: [cloudmade], center: new L.LatLng(-37.7772, 175.2756), zoom: 15 });

var editableLayers = new L.FeatureGroup();
map.addLayer(editableLayers);

var MyCustomMarker = L.Icon.extend({
	options: {
		shadowUrl: null,
		iconAnchor: new L.Point(12, 12),
		iconSize: new L.Point(24, 24),
		iconUrl: 'link/to/image.png'
	}
});

var options = {
	position: 'topright',
	draw: {
		polyline: {
			shapeOptions: {
				color: '#f357a1',
				weight: 10
			}
		},
		polygon: {
			allowIntersection: false, // Restricts shapes to simple polygons
			drawError: {
				color: '#e1e100', // Color the shape will turn when intersects
				message: '<strong>Oh snap!<strong> you can\'t draw that!' // Message that will show when intersect
			},
			shapeOptions: {
				color: '#bada55'
			}
		},
		circle: false, // Turns off this drawing tool
		rectangle: {
			shapeOptions: {
				clickable: false
			}
		},
		marker: {
			icon: new MyCustomMarker()
		}
	},
	edit: {
		featureGroup: editableLayers, //REQUIRED!!
		remove: false
	}
};

var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw(options);
map.addControl(drawControl);

map.on('draw:created', function (e) {
	var type = e.layerType,
		layer = e.layer;

	if (type === 'marker') {
		layer.bindPopup('A popup!');
	}

	drawnItems.addLayer(layer);
});
````

### Disabling a toolbar

If you do not want a particular toolbar in your app you can turn it off by setting the toolbar to false.

````js
var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
	draw: false,
	edit: {
		featureGroup: editableLayers
	}
});
````

### Disabling a toolbar item

If you want to turn off a particular toolbar item, set it to false. The following disables drawing polygons and markers. It also turns off the ability to edit layers.

````js
var drawControl = new L.Control.Draw({
	draw: {
		polygon: false,
		marker: false
	},
	edit: {
		featureGroup: editableLayers,
		edit: false
	}
});
````

### Changing a drawing handlers options

You can change a draw handlers options after initialization by using the `setDrawingOptions` method on the Leaflet.draw control.

E.g. to change the colour of the rectangle:

````js
drawControl.setDrawingOptions({
    rectangle: {
    	shapeOptions: {
        	color: '#0000FF'
        }
    }
});
````

### Creating a custom build

If you only require certain handlers (and not the UI), you may wish to create a custom build. You can generate the relevant jake command using the [build html file](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.draw/blob/master/build/build.html). 

See [edit handlers example](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.draw/blob/master/examples/edithandlers.html) which uses only the edit handlers.

## Thanks

Thanks so much to [@brunob](https://github.com/brunob), [@tnightingale](https://github.com/tnightingale), and [@shramov](https://github.com/shramov). I got a lot of ideas from their Leaflet plugins.

All the [contributors](https://github.com/Leaflet/Leaflet.draw/graphs/contributors) and issue reporters of this plugin rock. Thanks for tidying up my mess and keeping the plugin on track.

The icons used for some of the toolbar buttons are either from http://glyphicons.com/ or inspired by them. <3 Glyphicons!

Finally, [@mourner](https://github.com/mourner) is the man! Thanks for dedicating so much of your time to create the gosh darn best JavaScript mapping library around.
