# Leaflet.ImageOverlay.Rotated

Display rotated and skewed images in your LeafletJS maps.

This LeafletJS plugin adds a new class, `L.ImageOverlay.Rotated`, subclass of
[`L.ImageOverlay`](http://leafletjs.com/reference.html#imageoverlay). The main
difference is that the position of `L.ImageOverlay` is defined by a `L.LatLngBounds`
(the `L.LatLng`s of the top-left and bottom-right corners of the image),
whereas `L.ImageOverlay.Rotated` is defined by **three** points (the `L.LatLng`s
of the top-left, top-right and bottom-left corners of the image).

The image will be rotated *and* skewed (as the three corner points might not form
a 90-degree angle).

## Demo

### Usage

To instantiate a `L.ImageOverlay.Rotated`, specify the image URL, the three corner
points, and any `L.ImageOverlay` options in the `L.imageOverlay.rotated` factory
method, for example:

```js
var topleft = L.latLng(40.52256691873593, -3.7743186950683594),
topright = L.latLng(40.5210255066156, -3.7734764814376835),
bottomleft = L.latLng(40.52180437272552, -3.7768453359603886);

var overlay = L.imageOverlay.rotated("./palacio.jpg", topleft, topright, bottomleft, {
opacity: 0.4,
interactive: true,
attribution: "© Instituto Geográfico Nacional de España"
}).addTo(map);
```

`topleft`, `topright` and `bottomleft` are instances of `L.LatLng`, corresponding
to the locations of the corners of the image. These three `L.LatLng`s might not
neccesarily be at the top or at the left of each other.

Alternatively, the first parameter to the constructor can be an instance of
[HTMLImage](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLImageElement).

Additionally, the `reposition` method allows to reset the `LatLng`s for the corner
points, effectively moving the image:

```js
overlay.reposition(updatedTopLeft, updatedTopRight, updatedBottomLeft);
```

### Using the code in other projects

The classic way: copy the `Leaflet.ImageOverlay.Rotate.js` file and include it
in your webpage.

`npm install leaflet-imageoverlay-rotated` can be used to include this project
as a dependency. The `package.json` file will allow webpack/browserify to work
its magic.

There is also some support for Bower (in the form of a `bower.json` file), but
Bower is being deprecated, so NPM is preferred.

This plugin has been tested only with Leaflet 1.0.0-beta and 1.0.0-rc1. Don't
expect it to work with 0.7.x.
