Class IWPoiUtils

A class to help you to suport all kinds of points of interest (POIs) on the map. Adding a set of POIs and creating tooltips and bubbles on mouseover and click events is easy like this:

IWPoiUtils.initFormatters(); // initialize the default POI behaviour
IWPoiUtils.initLayers(map, 'demo'); // add the POIs of the layer "demo" to your map object

var formatters = [
	new IWPublicTransportFormatter(),
	new IWRailwayFormatter(),
	new IWParkingFormatter(),
	new IWTrafficFormatter(),
	new IWDefaultPoiFormatter()
];
IWPoiUtils.initFormatters(formatters);

IWPoiUtils

IWPoiUtils()

Singleton constructor

initFormatters

void initFormatters(formatters)

Initializes the POI formatters. This optionally takes an array of formatters, or uses a set of default formatters if not specified. Example: Use an additional custom formatter (with highest priority) like this:

var formatters = [
	new IWPublicTransportFormatter(),
	new IWRailwayFormatter(),
	new IWParkingFormatter(),
	new IWTrafficFormatter(),
	new IWDefaultPoiFormatter()
];
IWPoiUtils.initFormatters(formatters);

For default behaviour just call IWPoiUtils.initFormatters();

Parameters:
object[] formatters - an array of formatters

Returns:
void 

initLayers

void initLayers(map, key, layerGroup, range)

Adds all POI types of a POI catalogue to the map.

Parameters:
IWMap map - a map
String key - the POI catalogue name
IWLayerGroup layerGroup - a group to add the new layers to (optional, adds the new layers at top level by default)
IWRange range - a range of zoom levels to display the POIs on (optional, defaults to level 10 to 18)

Returns:
void 

makeLayer

makeLayer(map, layerTitle, layerName, shapeName, idfLayerName, range, options)

Creates a layer with default behaviour and register listeners

Parameters:
map
layerTitle
layerName
shapeName
idfLayerName
range
options

poiinitialize

void poiinitialize(event)

The poiinitialize event is fired when a POI catalogue is initialized. You can use this to initialize a POI selection control etc.

Register an event listener with IWEventManager.addListener(IWPoiUtils, 'onpoiinitialize', yourHandlerMethod(event)); to receive this event.

Parameters:
event

Returns:
void
