Control to modify features. When activated, a click renders the vertices of a feature - these vertices can then be dragged. By default, the delete key will delete the vertex under the mouse. New features are added by dragging “virtual vertices” between vertices. Create a new control with the OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature constructor.

| beforeSelectFeature | Called before a feature is selected. |
| selectFeature | Called when the select feature control selects a feature. |
| unselectFeature | Called when the select feature control unselects a feature. |
| dragStart | Called by the drag feature control with before a feature is dragged. |
| dragVertex | Called by the drag feature control with each drag move of a vertex. |

| Constants | |
| RESHAPE | {Integer} Constant used to make the control work in reshape mode |

{OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} Feature currently available for modification.
{Array(OpenLayers.Feature.Vector)} Verticies currently available for dragging.
{Array(OpenLayers.Feature.Vector)} Virtual vertices in the middle of each edge.
{Integer} Bitfields specifying the modification mode. Defaults to OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature.RESHAPE. To set the mode to a combination of options, use the | operator. or example, to allow the control to both resize and rotate features, use the following syntax
control.mode = OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature.RESIZE |
OpenLayers.Control.ModifyFeature.ROTATE;{OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} A handle for rotating/resizing a feature.
{OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} A handle for dragging a feature.
{Function} Deprecated. Register for “beforefeaturemodified” instead. The “beforefeaturemodified” event is triggered on the layer before any modification begins.
Optional function to be called when a feature is selected to be modified. The function should expect to be called with a feature. This could be used for example to allow to lock the feature on server-side.
{Function} Deprecated. Register for “afterfeaturemodified” instead. The “afterfeaturemodified” event is triggered on the layer after a feature has been modified.
Optional function to be called when a feature is finished being modified. The function should expect to be called with a feature.
Create a new modify feature control.
| layer | {OpenLayers.Layer.Vector} Layer that contains features that will be modified. |
| options | {Object} Optional object whose properties will be set on the control. |
beforeSelectFeature: function( feature )
Called before a feature is selected.
| feature | {OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} The feature about to be selected. |
selectFeature: function( feature )
Called when the select feature control selects a feature.
| feature | {OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} the selected feature. |
unselectFeature: function( feature )
Called when the select feature control unselects a feature.
| feature | {OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} The unselected feature. |
dragStart: function( feature, pixel )
Called by the drag feature control with before a feature is dragged. This method is used to differentiate between points and vertices of higher order geometries. This respects the geometryTypes property and forces a select of points when the drag control is already active (and stops events from propagating to the select control).
| feature | {OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} The point or vertex about to be dragged. |
| pixel | {OpenLayers.Pixel} Pixel location of the mouse event. |
dragVertex: function( vertex, pixel )
Called by the drag feature control with each drag move of a vertex.
| vertex | {OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} The vertex being dragged. |
| pixel | {OpenLayers.Pixel} Pixel location of the mouse event. |
dragComplete: function( vertex )
Called by the drag feature control when the feature dragging is complete.
| vertex | {OpenLayers.Feature.Vector} The vertex being dragged. |
handleKeypress: function( evt )
Called by the feature handler on keypress. This is used to delete vertices. If the <deleteCode> property is set, vertices will be deleted when a feature is selected for modification and the mouse is over a vertex.
{Integer} Key code corresponding to the keypress event.
setMap: function( map )
Set the map property for the control and all handlers.
| map | {OpenLayers.Map} The control’s map. |
Take care of things that are not handled in superclass.
destroy: function()
Activate the control.
activate: function()
