GMapEZ<\/a> has supported drawing lines using the Google Maps API for a while now, but I’ve always put off implimenting this since I thought it would be quite a bit of work and involve lots of changes in my XML format. I finally decided to impliment it today and I found a very easy way to assign points to lines.
\nFirst an example map so you can see what you can achieve:
\n

<\/center>
\nThe line thickness, color and opacity is configurable on a per-line basis and you can assign any point in your existing data file to a line on the map, to achieve this I extended the XML data using a <linemember><\/i> element, here is an example point:<\/p>\n
\n
\n<point>\n<lat>51.393522<\/lat>\n<long>0.527054<\/long>\n<type>visit<\/type>\n<title>Chatham Historic Dockyard<\/title>\n<country>England<\/country>\n<href>http:\/\/www.chdt.org.uk\/<\/href>\n<linktext>Home Page<\/linktext>\n<linemember>1<\/linemember><\/b>\n<\/point>\n<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
The points on the line get connected in order that they appear in your data file.
\nTo configure the line created above you can add a [line1<\/b>]<\/i> section to your configuration file, simply match up the linemember numbers with the lineX section in your config, a sample:<\/p>\n
\n
\n[line1]\ncolor = #00ff00\nwidth = 2\nopacity = 0.6\n<\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n
This will draw the line in the image above, I think it’s very simple and it should be 100% backward compatible with your exiting data should you choose not to use this feature.
\nAs always you can get the code at http:\/\/www.devco.net\/code\/gmapsphp-current.tgz<\/a> the documentation at http:\/\/www.devco.net\/pubwiki\/GMapsPHP<\/a> has also been updated to reflect these changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
