# Leaflet-Ruler Plugin

A simple leaflet plugin to measure **true bearing** and **distance** between clicked points. Extends L.Control.

### [Demo](http://gokertanrisever.github.io/leaflet-ruler)

[![Demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gokertanrisever/leaflet-ruler/master/examples/leaflet-ruler-demo.png)](http://gokertanrisever.github.io/leaflet-ruler)

## Requirements

- Leaflet 1.0.0+

## Usage

- Create a [leaflet map](http://leafletjs.com/examples/quick-start/)
- Include leaflet-ruler.js and leaflet-ruler.css files.

```html

```

- Add Ruler control to map

```js
L.control.ruler().addTo(map);
```

- Escape button finishes measurement path and starts a new measurement. Second push to escape turns off the plugin.
- Double-click also finishes measurement path and starts a new measurement.
- It's possible to add other units. No need to specify any option value to use defaults.

```js
var options = {
position: 'topleft',
lengthUnit: {
factor: 0.539956803, // from km to nm
display: 'Nautical Miles',
decimal: 2,
},
};
L.control.ruler(options).addTo(map);
```

## Default Options

```js
options: {
position: 'topright', // Leaflet control position option
circleMarker: { // Leaflet circle marker options for points used in this plugin
color: 'red',
radius: 2
},
lineStyle: { // Leaflet polyline options for lines used in this plugin
color: 'red',
dashArray: '1,6'
},
lengthUnit: { // You can use custom length units. Default unit is kilometers.
display: 'km', // This is the display value will be shown on the screen. Example: 'meters'
decimal: 2, // Distance result will be fixed to this value.
factor: null, // This value will be used to convert from kilometers. Example: 1000 (from kilometers to meters)
label: 'Distance:'
},
angleUnit: {
display: '°', // This is the display value will be shown on the screen. Example: 'Gradian'
decimal: 2, // Bearing result will be fixed to this value.
factor: null, // This option is required to customize angle unit. Specify solid angle value for angle unit. Example: 400 (for gradian).
label: 'Bearing:'
}
}
```
