GMSC Discussions

Hi,

I'm using GMSC2020.

Our customer needs a solution that gives possibility to edit geometry on map. The problem is, that it should work on web browser (so GMSC java application  can't be used here). I've found, that GMSC2020 gives possibility to show layers on map by Public maps function. But I can only view layers and cannot find a way how to edit geometry. Is it possible to do that? If not, is there any other possibility to edit geometry using web browser?

I've checked the link and it looks very promising. 

But I need to create more advanced tools for creating geometry. Are there any other functions apart from activatePointDraw() ?

[sturcato]

the only available method is to capture a point, it is not intended to be used as geometry capturing tool.

So I can draw new point/line/polygon but cannot edit existing geometry - is that what You mean?

If so, ale there any other functions except for those three below?

activatePointDraw()
activateLineDraw()
activatePolygonDraw()

You can check the mapviewer.js file for functions list. All of the functions are pretty simple and just wrap OpenLayers functions. All mentioned functions will create a geometry that should be possible to save in the session (but I haven't tried with others than points).

I should also outline, that only the point geometries were tested with GMSC. There's no guarantee that other geometry types will work, but you can try them.
