Following Mootools class helps developer to draw a circle overlay on Google Map using Google Maps API v3. I'm using jQuery in my projects and entry-level knowledge in Object-oriented javascript.
In Google Maps API v2, this is very easy but API v3 currently haven't built-in methods for drawing circles on map. Plus, in API documentation, there are some description for this can be done with different way.
I want to use following CircleOverlay method in my project with jQuery or classic Javascript.
Can anyone help for convert following Mootools lines to jQuery-enabled or classic javascript approach?
var CircleOverlay = new Class({
Implements: [Options],
options: {
numPoints: 100,
drawOptions: {
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 0.8,
strokeWeight: 2,
fillColor: "#FF0000",
fillOpacity: 0.35
}
},
initialize: function(map, center, radius, options) {
this.setOptions(options);
google.maps.OverlayView.call(this);
var q = 180 / 63781370 / Math.sin(90 - center.lat()) / Math.PI;
this._map = map;
this._point = center;
this._radius = radius * q * 10; // convert meters to latlang degrees
// Fit bounds of a circle that is drawn into the map
var d2r = Math.PI / 180;
this.circleLatLngs = new Array();
var circleLat = this._radius;
var circleLng = circleLat / Math.cos(center.lat() * d2r);
this.latlngbounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
// 2PI = 360 degrees, +1 so that the end points meet
for (var i = 0; i < this.options.numPoints + 1; i++) {
var theta = Math.PI * (i / (this.options.numPoints / 2));
var vertexLat = center.lat() + (circleLat * Math.sin(theta));
var vertexLng = parseFloat(center.lng()) + parseFloat((circleLng * Math.cos(theta)));
var vertextLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(vertexLat, vertexLng);
this.circleLatLngs.push(vertextLatLng);
this.latlngbounds.extend(vertextLatLng);
}
map.fitBounds(this.latlngbounds);
this.setMap(map);
},
onAdd: function() {
var polyOptions = this.options.drawOptions;
polyOptions.paths = this.circleLatLngs;
this.polygon = new google.maps.Polygon(polyOptions);
this.polygon.setMap(this.map);
},
onRemove: function() {
this.polygon.setMap(null);
},
draw: function() {
this.onRemove();
this.onAdd();
}
});
CircleOverlay.implement(new google.maps.OverlayView());
