Line Drawing Example

This example demonstrates how to interactively draw polylines on the map using the DMap3D SDK.

Preview​

The user left-clicks to add polyline vertices in sequence, and right-clicks to finish drawing, with support for ground-clamping mode.

Key Code Explanation​

1. Create Line Drawing Tool​

const tool = new DMap3D.drawing.polyline({
  viewer,
  style: {
    width: 3,           // Line width (pixels)
    color: '#FF0000',   // Line color
    alpha: 1.0,         // Opacity
  },
  clampToGround: true,  // Clamp to ground
})

2. Load from Data​

// Longitude-latitude array format
tool.loadFromData([
  [116.39, 39.90, 0],
  [116.40, 39.91, 0],
  [116.41, 39.90, 0],
])

// Cartesian3 format
tool.loadFromData([
  Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(116.39, 39.90),
  Cesium.Cartesian3.fromDegrees(116.40, 39.91),
])

3. Dynamically Update Style​

tool.setStyle({
  width: 5,
  color: '#00FF00',
  alpha: 0.8,
})

Extended Features​

  1. Dashed Line Style - Support dashed and arrow line types
  2. Distance Labels - Label lengths on line segments
  3. Vertex Editing - Drag to modify polyline vertices
  4. Path Animation - Play animation along the line path
