Text along polylines

[MrUpsidown]

Hi folks,

I am looking for a way to display a simple polyline (a line between 2
points) and to display some text along the line (in the same
direction). Basically like if I was displaying a street with the
street name following the street path. Only it will be straight A to B
lines.

I know how to draw polylines but I am unable to think of a way to
display the text as I want.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Upsidown

Hello,

Anybody on that one?
After searching for hours, I guess there is no easy way to do that. Could someone confirm?

Any idea on how to achieve this?

Best regards,
Upsidown

Sorry Upsidown,

I haven't seen any example of someone doing this. It's certainly possible using an OverlayView, with some SVG or VML and a bit of maths.

Thanks Chris for your answer.
Would it be interesting to develop a class for that?

Best regards,

Definitely, that'd be awesome. Check out the MapLabel utility library for a start:

http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/maplabel/examples/maplabel.html

Even if it's just implemented in Canvas, it'd be interesting.

Thank you for your input.
