Example labels

[adube]

Add a new example demonstrating what's possible to do with labels in OL3. It includes 3 geojson dataset samples of points, lines and polygons. In addition, 3 forms allow the user to change text label styling on the-fly and see the result.

See the demo in action . See also an OpenLayers 2.12 equivalent demo.

Comments would be quite welcome.

Please can you rebase on the latest master to remove the merge commits. Thanks!

[adube]

Sure.

[twpayne]

Very nice example by the way!

[adube]

Thank you.

Would you please give me a pointer: how do I remove the merge commits ?

[twpayne]

git rebase origin/master

should do it - git is normally clever enough to strip out merge commits.

[adube]

Sorry it's taking long, I think I messed up something. My git-fu sucks :)

[twpayne]

It looks like you've added another merge commit.

Run

git rebase -i official-master

and delete every line that is a merge commit.

[adube]

git status
# On branch example-labels
# Your branch and 'origin/example-labels' have diverged,
# and have 5 and 14 different commits each, respectively.
#   (use "git pull" to merge the remote branch into yours)
#
nothing to commit, working directory clean

What do I need to do now ?

Thank you very much for your help.

[twpayne]

git push --force <my-remote> example-labels
where <my-remote> is whatever remote represents your repository (github.com/adube/ol3.git).

[adube]

Thank you.

Oh, I forgot to mention: the 'Text/Wrap' option in the example didn't work as I expected. If you compare with the OL2 example, you'll see what I mean.

In the ol3 example, the '\n' do not break the labels into multiple lines, it looks interpreted as a space character.

+1 from me for merging this. Good work.

This is because ol3 uses Canvas's strokeText and fillText functions that do not support text wrapping.

Thanks @adube!
