I'm trying to write a code which let my users define some points on the map and once they created a point, the program should draw a circle with defined diameter(in kilometers or ... ) around the point.
I can draw a point but I don't know how I could handle what I said.
Here is an example about what I want:
Use the following function to create circular points around a point.
//pass the
//@pointX,
//@pointY,
//@radius of circle (in your case diameter/2)
//@pointsToFind this is how detail you want the circle to be (360 if you want one point for each rad)
function createCirclePointCoords(circleCenterX,circleCenterY,circleRadius,pointsToFind){
var angleToAdd = 360/pointsToFind;
var coords = [];
var angle = 0;
for (var i=0;i<pointsToFind;i++){
angle = angle+angleToAdd;
console.log(angle);
var coordX = circleCenterX + circleRadius * Math.cos(angle*Math.PI/180);
var coordY = circleCenterY + circleRadius * Math.sin(angle*Math.PI/180);
coords.push([coordX,coordY]);
}
return coords;
}
And then create a polygon out of the coordinates returned from the function
var circleCoords = createCirclePointCoords(0,0,1000,360);
var geom = new ol.geom.Polygon([
circleCoords
])
