Leaflet.fullcanvas
=====================
Provides implementation of points using canvas.
With canvas you can show more number of points than SVG.
The plugin uses the quad tree algorithm to minimize/optimize the number of points to be drawn.
*Requires Leaflet 0.7.0 or newer.*
## Using the plugin
* For canvas with points: [Demo](http://cyrilcherian.github.io/Leaflet-Fullcanvas/demo/Canvas-With-Points.html)
* For canvas with Loo..ots of points(160236 points): [Demo](http://cyrilcherian.github.io/Leaflet-Fullcanvas/demo/Canvas-With-Lots-Points.html)
* For canvas with lines connecting points: [Demo](http://cyrilcherian.github.io/Leaflet-Fullcanvas/demo/Canvas-With-Lines.html)
* For canvas with points and popups: [Demo](http://cyrilcherian.github.io/Leaflet-Fullcanvas/demo/Canvas-With-Points-Poups.html)
## Usage
# How to set data.
Create your map example:
```javascript
var map = L.map('map').setView([0, 35], 3);
L.tileLayer('http://{s}.tile.cloudmade.com/7c2ed2e9170441289176d725eb0ca615/999/256/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
maxZoom: 18
}).addTo(map);
```
Create instance of the plugin canvas layer and add it to the map example:
```javascript
points = [];
//make points slat denotes the latitude and slon denotes the longitude
points.push({"slat": -33.3042, "slon": 26.5328});
//make another point slat denotes the latitude and slon denotes the longitude
points.push({"slat": -25, "slon": 29});
//make a canvas layer
var layer = new MyLayer();
//set the data points to the layer
layer.setData(points);
//add canvas layer to the map
layer.addLayerTo(map);
```
# How to add data.
To add data live into the map:
To the canvas layer created, you can add points
```javascript
//add points to the layer...here slat denotes the latitude and slon denotes the longitude
layer.addData({"slat": -33.3042, "slon": 26.5328});
```
# How to color/create your own points.
You can color/create your own points by overriding the drawSource function example:
```javascript
var MyLayer = L.FullCanvas.extend({
//over riding the getsource function
drawSource: function(point) {
//get the context
var ctx = layer.getCanvas().getContext("2d");
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "lighter";
//drawing the shape of the point
ctx.beginPath();
//adding gradient
var grd = ctx.createRadialGradient(point.x, point.y, 0, point.x, point.y, 10);
grd.addColorStop(0.200, 'rgba(255, 242, 0, 1)');
grd.addColorStop(0.370, 'rgba(255, 157, 0, 1)');
grd.addColorStop(0.5, 'rgba(255,255, 255, 1)');
ctx.fillStyle = grd;
ctx.arc(point.x, point.y , 2, 0, 2 * Math.PI, true);
ctx.fill();
}
});
```
# How to show popup.
You can color/create your own points by overriding the drawSource function example:
```javascript
var MyLayer = L.FullCanvas.extend({
//over riding the clickedPoints function
clickedPoints: function(points){
var text = "You clicked on the point Latitude["+ points[0].data.slat + "] Longitude["+ points[0].data.slon + "]";
//show your popup
alert(text);
}
});
```
# how to draw lines between points.
Create instance of the plugin canvas layer and add points to the layer example:
```javascript
points = [];
//make points slat denotes the source latitude and slon denotes the source longitude
//make points tlat denotes the target latitude and tlon denotes the target longitude
points.push({"slat": -33.3042, "slon": 26.5328,"tlat": -10, "tlon": 15});
//make points slat denotes the source latitude and slon denotes the source longitude
//make points tlat denotes the target latitude and tlon denotes the target longitude
points.push({"slat": -25, "slon": 29, "tlat": -50, "tlon": 10});
//make a canvas layer
var layer = new MyLayer();
//set the data points to the layer
layer.setData(points);
//add canvas layer to the map
layer.addLayerTo(map);
```
# how to draw lot of points in canvas.
We have to understand that when we have a lot of points to draw.
We should not do
```javascript
var MyLayer = L.FullCanvas.extend({
//over riding the getsource function
drawSource: function(point) {
//get the context
var ctx = layer.getCanvas().getContext("2d");
ctx.globalCompositeOperation = "lighter";
//drawing the shape of the point
ctx.beginPath();
//adding gradient
var grd = ctx.createRadialGradient(point.x, point.y, 0, point.x, point.y, 10);
grd.addColorStop(0.200, 'rgba(255, 242, 0, 1)');
grd.addColorStop(0.370, 'rgba(255, 157, 0, 1)');
grd.addColorStop(0.5, 'rgba(255,255, 255, 1)');
ctx.fillStyle = grd;
ctx.arc(point.x, point.y , 2, 0, 2 * Math.PI, true);
ctx.fill();
}
});
```
Because if we have a 100000+ points the context drawing is expensive for each point.
So best approach is to insert an image point instead of drawing the points.
```javascript
var imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.src = "../data/shapes.png";//load any image
//place the points in the canvas
var MyLayer = L.FullCanvas.extend({
drawSource: function(point) {
var ctx = this.getCanvas().getContext("2d");
ctx.drawImage(imageObj, point.x - 1, point.y - 1, 2, 2);
}
});
```
