    Detailed Description

    The polygon is specified in terms of an ordered list of coordinates. Any invalid coordinates in the list will be ignored.

    If the list contains less than 3 valid coordinates the polygon will not be displayed.

    Simplistic example to illustrate, this element could be defined in Map body:

                 MapPolygon {
                     id: polygon
                     color: "blue"
                     Coordinate {
                         id: topLeftCoordinate
                         latitude: -28.35
                         longitude: 153.4
                     }
                     Coordinate {
                         id: rightCoordinate
                         latitude: -28.34
                         longitude: 153.45
                     }
                     Coordinate {
                         id: bottomLeftCoordinate
                         latitude: -28.33
                         longitude: 153.4
                     }
                 }

    The MapPolygon element is part of the QtMobility.location 1.2 module.

    Property Documentation

    border.width : int

    border.color : color

    These properties hold the width and color used to draw the border of the circle.

    The width is in pixels and is independent of the zoom level of the map.

    The default values correspond to a black border with a width of 1 pixel.

    For no line, use a width of 0 or a transparent color.


    color : color

    This property holds the color used to fill the circle.

    The default value corresponds to a transparent color.


    defaultpath : list<Coordinate>

    This property holds the ordered list of coordinates which define the polygon.


    selected : bool

    This property holds a boolean corresponding to whether or not the polygon is selected.


    visible : bool

    This property holds a boolean corresponding to whether or not the polygon is visible.


    z : int

    This property holds the z-value of the polygon.

    Map objects are drawn in z-value order, and objects with the same z-value will be drawn in insertion order.


    Method Documentation

    MapPolygon::addCoordinate ( Coordinate )

    Adds coordinate to the path. The resulting path is derived from values at the time of assignment, meaning that later changes in values are not reflected in the path.

                 onButton1Clicked: {
                     polygon.addCoordinate(map.center)
                 }

    See also removeCoordinate.


    MapPolygon::removeCoordinate ( Coordinate )

    Remove coordinate from the path. Removed Coordinate is not deleted. If there are multiple instances of the same coordinate, the one added last is removed.

                 onButton2Clicked: {
                     polygon.removeCoordinate(map.center)
                 }

    If more finetuned control is needed, one can also iterate and/or use the inherent index property of the path list.

                 onButton1Clicked: {
                     for (var index = 0; index < polyline.path.length; index++)  {
                         console.log("Index, latitude:" + index + " , " + polyline.path[index].latitude);
                     }
                     polyline.removeCoordinate(polyline.path[2])
                 }
