# Modules.Map.Polyline
Represents a bounded area on the map.
# Overview
The Polyline
object gives you low-level control over polylines that can be added to a
Modules.Map.View. A polyline must have its points
property set to appear on a map.
Use the Modules.Map.createPolyline method to create a polyline.
# Example
var polyline = Map.createPolyline({
points: [{
latitude: -33.891614,
longitude: 151.276417
},
[-33.87365, 151.20689]
],
strokeWidth: 3,
strokeColor: '#f00',
zIndex: 1
});
mapView.addPolyline(polyline);
# Properties
# jointType CREATION ONLY
Defines the shape of corner points.
Defines the shape of corner points. Can be one of the following shapes: POLYLINE_JOINT_DEFAULT, POLYLINE_JOINT_ROUND or POLYLINE_JOINT_BEVEL
Default: Modules.Map.POLYLINE_JOINT_DEFAULT
# pattern
Pattern used to draw the polylines.
As per default polylines are drawn with a solid line. You can specify to draw them with a dashed line using POLYLINE_PATTERN_DASHED or with a dotted line using POLYLINE_PATTERN_DOTTED.
You can also specify the dimensions to use when you create a dashed or dotted polyline.
For a dashed polyline, you can do something like this:
polyline.setPattern({
type: TiMap.POLYLINE_PATTERN_DASHED,
gapLength: 25,
dashLength: 50
});
or for a dotted polyline, you can do:
polyline.setPattern({
type: TiMap.POLYLINE_PATTERN_DOTTED,
gapLength: 25
});
# points CREATION ONLY
Array of map points making up the polyline. Can also be an array of longitude (index 0), latitude (index 1) touples. On Android platform you can use an encoded polyline as string.
# strokeColor
Color to use for the the polyline, as a color name or hex triplet.
For information about color values, see the "Colors" section of Titanium.UI.
Default: black
# strokeWidth
Line width in pixels to use when drawing the polyline.
Default: 10
# touchEnabled
Determines whether view should receive touch events.
Default: true
# zIndex CREATION ONLY
The order (depth) in which to display the polylines.
For iOS, the polylines are drawn in the order in which they are added.
