interaction/Translate.js, line 134
Name Type Description
condition Condition | undefined

A function that takes a MapBrowserEvent and returns a boolean to indicate whether that event should be handled. Default is always.

features Collection<Feature> | undefined

Features contained in this collection will be able to be translated together.

layers Array<Layer> | function | undefined

A list of layers from which features should be translated. Alternatively, a filter function can be provided. The function will be called for each layer in the map and should return true for layers that you want to be translatable. If the option is absent, all visible layers will be considered translatable. Not used if features is provided.

filter FilterFunction | undefined

A function that takes a Feature and an Layer and returns true if the feature may be translated or false otherwise. Not used if features is provided.

hitTolerance number (defaults to 0)

Hit-detection tolerance. Pixels inside the radius around the given position will be checked for features.

Fires:
  • change (BaseEvent) - Generic change event. Triggered when the revision counter is increased.
  • change:active (ObjectEvent)
  • error (BaseEvent) - Generic error event. Triggered when an error occurs.
  • propertychange (ObjectEvent) - Triggered when a property is changed.
  • translateend (TranslateEvent) - Triggered upon feature translation end.
  • translatestart (TranslateEvent) - Triggered upon feature translation start.
  • translating (TranslateEvent) - Triggered upon feature translation.

Return whether the interaction is currently active.

Returns:
true if the interaction is active, false otherwise.

getHitTolerance(){number}

interaction/Translate.js, line 399

Returns the Hit-detection tolerance.

Returns:
Hit tolerance in pixels.

getKeys(){Array.<string>} inherited
