## 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.

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

// 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.

// 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);

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

// Initialise 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 contains the layers that should be editable.

Events

Once you have successfully added the Leaflet.draw plugin to your map you will want to respond to the different actions users can initiate. The following events will be triggered on the map:

draw:created

	}

	// Do whatever else you need to. (save to db, add to map etc)
	map.addLayer(layer);
});

## Advanced options

You can configure the plugin by using the different options listed here.

Control.Draw

These options make up the root object that is used when initialising the Leaflet.draw control.

Option	Type	Default	Description
position	String	'topleft'	The initial position of the control (one of the map corners). See control positions.
draw	DrawOptions	{}	The options used to configure the draw toolbar.
edit	EditOptions	false	The options used to configure the edit toolbar.

### DrawOptions

These options will allow you to configure the draw toolbar and its handlers.

Option	Type	Default	Description
polyline	PolylineOptions	{ }	Polyline draw handler options. Set to false to disable handler.
polygon	PolygonOptions	{ }	Polygon draw handler options. Set to false to disable handler.

Draw handler options

The following options will allow you to configure the individual draw handlers.

#### PolylineOptions

Polyline and Polygon drawing handlers take the same options.

Option	Type	Default	Description
allowIntersection	Bool	true	Determines if line segments can cross.
drawError	Object	See code	Configuration options for the error that displays if an intersection is detected.
guidelineDistance	Number	20	Distance in pixels between each guide dash.
shapeOptions	Leaflet Polyline options	See code	The options used when drawing the polyline/polygon on the map.
metric	Bool	true	Determines which measurement system (metric or imperial) is used.
zIndexOffset	Number	2000	This should be a high number to ensure that you can draw over all other layers on the map.
repeatMode	Bool	false	Determines if the draw tool remains enabled after drawing a shape.

#### PolygonOptions

Polygon options include all of the Polyline options plus the option to show the approximate area.

Option	Type	Default	Description
showArea	Bool	false	Show the area of the drawn polygon in m², ha or km². The area is only approximate and become less accurate the larger the polygon is.

#### RectangleOptions

Option	Type	Default	Description
shapeOptions	Leaflet Path options	See code	The options used when drawing the rectangle on the map.
repeatMode	Bool	false	Determines if the draw tool remains enabled after drawing a shape.

#### MarkerOptions

Option	Type	Default	Description
icon	Leaflet Icon	L.Icon.Default()	The icon displayed when drawing a marker.
zIndexOffset	Number	2000	This should be a high number to ensure that you can draw over all other layers on the map.
repeatMode	Bool	false	Determines if the draw tool remains enabled after drawing a shape.

### EditOptions

These options will allow you to configure the draw toolbar and its handlers.

Option	Type	Default	Description
featureGroup	Leaflet FeatureGroup	null	This is the FeatureGroup that stores all editable shapes. THIS IS REQUIRED FOR THE EDIT TOOLBAR TO WORK
edit	EditHandlerOptions	{ }	Edit handler options. Set to false to disable handler.
remove	DeleteHandlerOptions	{ }	Delete handler options. Set to false to disable handler.

#### EditHandlerOptions

Option	Type	Default	Description
selectedPathOptions	Leaflet Path options	See code	The path options for how the layers will look while in edit mode. If this is set to null the editable path options will not be set.

Note: To maintain the original layer color of the layer use maintainColor: true within selectedPathOptions.

E.g. The edit options below will maintain the layer color and set the edit opacity to 0.3.

{
	selectedPathOptions: {
		maintainColor: true,
		opacity: 0.3
	}
}

#### DeleteHandlerOptions

Option	Type	Default	Description

#### 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 for the default strings.

E.g.

// 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.

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.

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.

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 initialisation by using the setDrawingOptions method on the Leaflet.draw control.

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

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.

See edit handlers example which uses only the edit handlers.

## Thanks

Thanks so much to @brunob, @tnightingale, and @shramov. I got a lot of ideas from their Leaflet plugins.

All the 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 is the man! Thanks for dedicating so much of your time to create the gosh darn best JavaScript mapping library around.
