Marker colors

[GHXST01]

Hey Rafael,

Awesome wrapper you have made. I really dig it. Currently there's no customization option for marker colors though. I think it would be really nice if we could add individual colors to markers just like we can add labels for example.

Are you working on this already, or do you want me to try to add that and submit it?

I found out that the current marker used is an actual image, meaning that we won't be able to change it's color with some simple CSS unfortunately.

However I did some digging around and came up with a decent way to achieve what I wanted.
I attached the function below, let me know what you think.

def colored_icon(color, scale=1):
    """ Returns colored marker """

    if color == 'GREY':
        color = '7495a6'

    if color == 'GREEN':
        color = '4db546'

    if color == 'RED':
        color = 'db4437'

    icon_url = ('https://www.google.com/maps/vt/icon/name='
                'assets/icons/poi/tactile/pinlet_shadow-1-small.png,'
                'assets/icons/poi/tactile/pinlet_outline_v2-1-small.png,'
                'assets/icons/poi/tactile/pinlet-1-small.png,'
                'assets/icons/poi/quantum/pinlet/dot_pinlet-1-small.png&'
                'highlight=ff000000,ffffff,{color},ffffff&color=ff000000?'
                'scale={scale}').format(color=color, scale=str(scale))

    return icon_url

Hi GHXST01, Great suggestion! I will implent it. However, instead of using the set of icons you suggested I prefer to use custom versions of the standard icon: https://www.google.com/maps/vt/icon/name=assets/icons/spotlight/spotlight_pin_v2_shadow-1-small.png,assets/icons/spotlight/spotlight_pin_v2-1-small.png,assets/icons/spotlight/spotlight_pin_v2_dot-1-small.png,assets/icons/spotlight/spotlight_pin_v2_accent-1-small.png&highlight=FF00FF,FF00FF,960a0a,FF00FF&color=FF00FF?scale=3 I will also add an option for the icon size (small , medium, big) using the scale parameter of the URLs you've found.
