93 | <p>Okay, so now you know how to <a class="reference external" href="mappanel-tutorial.html"><em>add a map to a web page</em></a> |
---|
94 | and load some data into it. Your users can drag and zoom to their hearts’ |
---|
95 | content. You even followed the <a class="reference external" href="layertree-tutorial.html"><em>Layer Tree Tutorial</em></a> so they could switch |
---|
96 | between different datasets. (You did follow that tutorial, right?) But now you |
---|
97 | want to do more than just view some pretty pictures. You want to let your users |
---|
98 | analyze data, or get more info about particular features on your map, or just |
---|
99 | draw things. Basically, you want to give them some <strong>tools</strong>.</p> |

108 | <p>In <a class="reference external" href="http://openlayers.org/">OpenLayers</a>, these tools for interacting with a |

109 | map are called <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Controls</span></tt>. For the purposes of this tutorial, we’ll just |
---|
110 | stick to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Measure</span></tt> control, a handy little tool that lets you draw a line |

111 | on the map and tells you its length in real-world units.</p> |

119 | <p>While OpenLayers <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Control</span></tt>s provide a number of excellent ways of |
---|
120 | interacting with maps, they have only limited support for actually manipulating |
---|
121 | the controls; ie, choosing which tool to use and providing user feedback about |
---|
122 | which tool is active. ExtJS provides a richer array of options for managing |
---|
123 | tools. Here is the idiomatic way to create an <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Ext.Button</span></tt> which activates and |
---|
124 | deactivates an OpenLayers <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Control</span></tt>, and stays depressed while the control |

148 | <p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Button</span></tt> can be added to an ExtJS toolbar or to a panel, in whatever |

---|
157 | <p>In general, when you have multiple tools associated with a map, you want to |
---|
158 | avoid having more than one tool active at the same time. It would be somewhat |
---|
159 | confusing if the user starts deleting data while he or she is trying to find the |
---|
160 | distance from one end of town to the other! Fortunately, ExtJS makes it very |
---|
161 | simple to ensure that only one toggle button from a group is toggled at a time, |
---|
162 | through the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">toggleGroup</span></tt> property of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Button</span></tt> object. This is a string |
---|
163 | identifying a group of buttons, only one of which can be pressed at a time. |
---|
164 | Let’s extend our example from before, this time adding the option to measure |
---|
165 | area instead of length:</p> |
