I have a list of coordinates I want my code to pan through. I can place view.animate and do it once to pan from my current center to the first coordinate but not to keep cycling through the list. Any ideas? I got the idea from this https://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/animation.html.
var coordinates = [london, moscow, istanbul, rome, bern]; (they have their coordinates)
var view = new ol.View({
center: istanbul,
zoom: 4
})
var map = new ol.Map({
target: 'map',
layers: [
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.OSM()
})],
loadTilesWhileAnimating: true,
view: view
});
coordinates.forEach(function(element) {
setTimeout(view.animate({
center: element,
duration: 2000,
}), 10000);
});
You have a basic error in that setTimeout will be called repeatedly in quick succession, with each one calling view.animate after a 10000 ms delay - the map will become overloaded with animate requests.
Here is a working example using setInterval which ensures that panToNextlocation is called only once per 3000ms

I am new to openlayers, and have tried to teach myself what I can through the tutorials.
My map works fine until I add an extent to the view. As soon as I do that, the map disappears. (zoom controls remain).
I have searched the documentation for help with this but no luck.
Here is my code:
<div id="map" class="map"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
const extentNESW = [ 4422340.708467, -10578604.167351, 3169996.437043, -9735019.922400 ]
const extentWSEN = [-9735019.922400, 3169996.437043, -10578604.167351, 4422340.708467 ]
const centerLonLat = [ -10160621.295892, 3903791.908581 ]
var map = new ol.Map({
target: 'map',
layers: [
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.OSM()
})
],
view: new ol.View({
center: (centerLonLat),
zoom: 10,
extent: extentWSEN,
})
});
</script>
If i remove the line with extent, the map works again. What gives?
It seems that your extent array has wrong order of coordinates. The order has to be:
[minX, minY, maxX, maxY]
More specifically, in your case, you have swapped minX and maxX. Replace your array with the following:
const extentWSEN = [-10578604.167351, 3169996.437043, -9735019.922400, 4422340.708467 ];
I followed the example from the openlayers book to add a static image on top of an osf layer. It works, but my image (256x256) is displayed as a rectangle. I tried around with the coordinates for the projection and checked out other posts here on, but I can't get my head around it why the image is not displayed as a square:
// Create map
var map = new ol.Map({
target: 'map', // The DOM element that will contains the map
renderer: 'canvas', // Force the renderer to be used
layers: [
// Add a new Tile layer getting tiles from OpenStreetMap source
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.OSM()
})
],
// Create a view centered on the specified location and zoom level
view: new ol.View({
center: ol.proj.transform([16.3725, 48.208889], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'),
zoom: 4
})
});
// Create an image layer
var imageLayer = new ol.layer.Image({
opacity: 0.75,
source: new ol.source.ImageStatic({
attributions: [
new ol.Attribution({
html: ''
})
],
url: 'https://placebear.com/256/256',
imageSize: [256, 256],
projection: map.getView().getProjection(),
imageExtent: ol.extent.applyTransform(
[0, 0, 16.3725, 48.208889], ol.proj.getTransform("EPSG:4326", "EPSG:3857"))
})
});
map.addLayer(imageLayer);
ol.source.ImageStatic was made to put a georeferenced image (e.g. a scan of a historic map) on a map. Is this what you have in mind? If you just want to display an image and anchor it to a location on the map, you'd better use ol.Overlay or an ol.layer.Vector with a feature with an ol.style.Icon.
That said, your image will only be displayed as square if the imageExtent set on your ol.source.ImageStatic results in a square on the projected map view.
I'm new in using OpenLayers. I'm trying to do some exercises with version 3.0 and 3.13.
I have to link two views: the second map respond to changes in the first map, but zoomed out three times; when the first map is panned or zoomed, the second map should center on the same location and stay zoomed out in three levels.
I'm using the following code that works quite well on version 3.0, but not on v3.13: the console prints Uncaught TypeError: view2.bindTo is not a function.
In another example I use map2.bindTo('view', map); on v3.13, without any issue. What is the difference?
EDIT
I'm wrong, I obtain the same issue.
There is no bindTo anymore (see the comment by Jonatas Walker for details).
var layer = new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.OSM()
});
var london = ol.proj.transform([-0.12755, 51.507222], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857');
var view = new ol.View({
center: london,
zoom: 6,
});
var view2 = new ol.View({
center: london,
zoom: 3,
});
var map = new ol.Map({
target: 'map1',
layers: [layer],
view: view,
//renderer: 'dom'
});
var map2 = new ol.Map({
target: 'map2',
layers: [layer],
controls: new ol.Collection(),
interactions: new ol.Collection(),
view: view2
});
view2.bindTo('center', view);
view.on('change:resolution', function(){
var zoom = this.getZoom();
if (zoom >= 3 && zoom <= 18)
view2.setZoom(this.getZoom()-3);
else view2.setZoom(this.getZoom());
});
Since PR #3472 there's no bindTo method and you can achieve this center binding with something like:
view.on('change:center', function(evt){
view2.setCenter(view.getCenter());
});
I don't want that the users see the blank field when dragging the map. I want restrict it. I didn't find any great resolution.
my map code:
var map = new ol.Map({
layers: [new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.MapQuest({ layer: 'osm' }) }), vectorLayer],
target: document.getElementById('map'),
controls: ol.control.defaults().extend([
new ol.control.ScaleLine(),
new ol.control.ZoomSlider()
]),
view: new ol.View({
center: [-6217890.205764902, -1910870.6048274133],
zoom: 3,
maxZoom: 20
})
});
Problem:
There are a couple of things that you could do:
Set a background color or image on your map container like in the examples to make the white gaps look nicer.
.map {
...
background: url(map-background.jpg) repeat;
}
Set the minZoom property on the view to prevent the map from being zoomed out too far. But on large screens users might still see gaps.
view: new ol.View({
...
minZoom: 4
})
Or restrict the view extent to the tile boundaries (ol.proj.get('EPSG:3857').getExtent()). This is not yet included in OpenLayers, but you'll find a work-around in this question.
I've got a problem with the latest openlayers3 beta. I'm trying to use custom tile server using xyz layer. The thing is the tiles are re not rendered for some reason. Using firebug I can see that the tile requests are send and the images are fetched succesfuly, though they do not show up...
Everything works in chrome however.
var baseLayer = new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.XYZ({
url: 'http://xx.xx.xx.xx:33333/osm/{z}/{x}/{y}.png'
})
});
var map = new ol.Map({
controls: ol.control.defaults().extend([
]),
target: 'map',
layers: [baseLayer],
view: new ol.View2D({
center: ol.proj.transform([21.999529, 50.041682], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'),
zoom: 13
})
});
Can you try putting a minus before your tile url's y value?
var baseLayer = new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.XYZ({
url: 'http://xx.xx.xx.xx:33333/osm/{z}/{x}/{-y}.png'
})
});
EDIT: Wow... Super old question... My bad, but maybe someone can use this answer anyway....
