Undocumented editable Polygon/Polyline support

[Tom Payne]

Hi,

Google Maps API v2 supported editable polygons and polylines.

Google Maps API v3 does not support this, however, the feature seems
to exist but is undocumented.

If you create a polygon or polyline and call .set('editable', true)
you get an editable feature and can listen for MVCArray array events
on the feature's path.

Is this feature likely to make it into the "official" Google Maps API
v3? Could it be removed soon?

The reason is that I need *exactly* this feature for an application,
and I'd rather avoid writing my own editable polyline/polygon code if
I can rely on Google Maps API v3 implementation.

Many thanks,
Tom

Its on its way in. Looks like the API was finally updated in V 3.7 ( http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/wiki/JavascriptMapsAPIv3Changelog ) but they haven't yet updated the documentation

See http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=2432&can=1&q=drawing&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Introduced%20Fixed%20Summary%20Stars%20ApiType%20Internal

I've figured out how to make the custom area polygons editable on my
interactive real estate map.... and it works great! The key is to add
listeners for the insert_at, remove_at, and set_at events of the path
of the polygon. That's where you would save the new vertices of the
polygon.

Thanks for the 'head's up' Larry.
Lots to learn.

Thanks all. We announced this new feature ("Drawing Tools") at Google Developer Day in Sydney.

See the blog post for some details:

http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.com/2011/11/make-your-map-interactive-with-shape.html

And see the docs here:

Cheers
