Draw Shapes

Using the ol/interaction/Draw to create regular shapes

This demonstrates the use of the geometryFunction option for the ol/interaction/Draw. Select a shape type from the dropdown above to start drawing. To activate freehand drawing, hold the Shift key. Square drawing is achieved by using type: 'Circle' type with a geometryFunction that creates a 4-sided regular polygon instead of a circle. Box drawing uses type: 'Circle' with a geometryFunction that creates a box-shaped polygon instead of a circle. Star drawing uses a custom geometry function that coverts a circle into a start using the center and radius provided by the draw interaction.
