Method Overview

Method Details

canRedo(){Boolean}

Indicates if the redo() method can be called on the action instance.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if the redo() method can be called.

canUndo(){Boolean}

Indicates if the undo() method can be called on the action instance.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if the undo() method can be called.

emit(type, event){Boolean}

Emits an event on the instance. This method should only be used when creating subclasses of this class.

Parameters:

type String The name of the event.

event Object optional The event payload.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	true if a listener was notified

getCoordsAndPointFromScreenPoint()

Maps the given screen point to a map point.

Returns:

Array of x,y and z component (if hasZ is enabled) and the mappoint of the point associated with the given screen point or null if screen point could not be mapped.

getCoordsFromScreenPoint()

Maps the given screen point to a map point.

Returns:

Array of x,y and z component (if hasZ is enabled) of the point associated with the given screen point or null if screen point could not be mapped.

hasEventListener(type){Boolean}

Indicates whether there is an event listener on the instance that matches the provided event name.

Parameter:

type String The name of the event.

Returns:

Type	Description
Boolean	Returns true if the class supports the input event.

on(type, listener){Object}

Registers an event handler on the instance. Call this method to hook an event with a listener.

Example:

view.on("click", function(event){
  // event is the event handle returned after the event fires.
  console.log(event.mapPoint);
});

redo()

Incrementally redo actions recorded in the stack. Call canRedo() prior to calling this method to check if this method can be called on the action instance. Calling this method will fire the vertex-add or vertex-remove events depending on the last action.

Example:

if (action.canRedo()) {
  action.redo();
}

screenToMap()

Maps the given screen point to a map point.

Returns:

MapPoint associated with the given screen point or null if screen point could not be mapped.

undo()

Incrementally undo actions recorded in the stack. Call canUndo() prior to calling this method to check if this method can be called on the action instance. Calling this method will fire the vertex-add or vertex-remove events depending on the last action.

Example:

if (action.canUndo()) {
  action.undo();
}
