Gets or sets the color’s HSL values. Input params are integers, color component levels in HSL space. The value range for should be 0-360 for hue and 0-100 for saturation and lightness values.
hsv( <Number> hue, <Number> saturation, <Number> value )
get:[hue, saturation, value], set:this
Gets or sets the color’s HSV values. Input params are integers, color component levels in HSV space. The value range for should be 0-360 for hue and 0-100 for saturation and value values.

//create new feature
var pointStyle = new giscloud.GraphicStyle("point");
var pointGeom = new giscloud.geometry.Point(-6140.0432, 6709200.4413);
var point = new giscloud.GraphicFeature(pointGeom, pointStyle);
var featureData = {
data: {
title: "myFeature",
name: "feature 1",
message: "Feature is created!",
attribute1: "myAttribute"
},
layerId: 733107
};
var feature = new giscloud.Feature(featureData);
feature.geometry = point;
feature.update();
Makes a new feature object which is a clone of the original. Call update on the new feature to save it to the cloud. It is necessary to have feature’s geometry defined to actually see the feature on the map.
Marker that can have title and content. It has a possibility to define title background color.
//create new flag marker
var lonlat = new giscloud.LonLat(lon,lat);
var text = "Marker text!";
var marker = new giscloud.FlagMarker(); //create marker
giscloud.ui.map.addMarker(marker); //add marker to map
marker.position(lonlat).content(text);
Gets or sets the color of the flag marker. If the color argument is provided, the FlagMarker object is returned; if omitted, the method returns the current marker color as a giscloud.Color object.
content( <String> content )
set:this, get:String
Gets or sets the content of the flag marker. If the content argument is provided, the FlagMarker object is returned; if omitted, the method returns the current marker content.
Gets or sets the position of the flag marker. If the pos argument is provided, the FlagMarker object is returned; if omitted, the method returns the marker’s current location as a giscloud.LonLat object.
title( <String> title )
set:this, get:String
Gets or sets the title of the flag marker. If the title argument is provided, the FlagMarker object is returned; if omitted, the method returns the current title.
A layer on the map which can hold arbitrary geometries. Add giscloud.GraphicFeatures to this layer.
//add point to graphic layer
var pointStyle = new giscloud.GraphicStyle("point");
var pointGeom = new giscloud.geometry.Point(-6140.0432, 6709200.4413);
var point = new giscloud.GraphicFeature(pointGeom, pointStyle);
viewer.graphic.add(point);
This starts the drawing on the viewer graphic layer. Type can be point, line or polygon. The drawing ends on a doubleclick, right click and "end draw", or when another draw command is issued either to start a new drawing or to just end the current one. The last is done by calling graphic.draw(false).
A stylable feature which can be shown on a map via the giscloud.Graphic layer.
//create new line with line style
var lineStyle = new giscloud.GraphicStyle("line");
var lineGeom = new giscloud.geometry.Line([firstPoint, secondPoint]);
var line = new giscloud.GraphicFeature(lineGeom, lineStyle); //new line with
//line style
//create new line and show that line with default 'line' style
var lineStyle = new giscloud.GraphicStyle("line"); //'line' is default style
var lineGeom = new giscloud.geometry.Line([firstPoint, secondPoint]);
var line = new giscloud.GraphicFeature(lineGeom, lineStyle);
//create new line and show that line with created style
var lineGraphic = {
color: new giscloud.Color(160,160,160,100),
size: 1
};
var lineStyle = new giscloud.GraphicStyle(lineGraphic);
var lineGeom = new giscloud.geometry.Line([firstPoint, secondPoint]);
var line = new giscloud.GraphicFeature(lineGeom, lineStyle);
Simple marker with only three methods. Great for showing one information per object.
//create new label marker
var lonlat = new giscloud.LonLat(lon,lat);
var text = "Marker text!";
var marker = new giscloud.LabelMarker(); //create marker
giscloud.ui.map.addMarker(marker); //add marker to map
marker.location(lonlat).content(text);
//create new LonLat object and print object properties (lon and lat)
var lonlat = new giscloud.LonLat(3,5);
lonlat.lon.toString(); //return longitude -> "3"
lonlat.lat.toString(); //return latitude -> "5"
//create two LonLat objects and check if coordinates of objects are equal
var lonlat_first = new giscloud.LonLat(3,5);
var lonlat_second = new giscloud.LonLat(5,3);
lonlat_first.equals(lonlat_second); //return false
//transform LonLat object from one projection to another
var lonlat = new giscloud.LonLat(11,17);
lonlat.transform(4326,900913);

This way a tool can be placed anywhere on the page instead the toolbar strip.) - viewer (If you set the viewer through options, the tool can act independatly without being added to a toolbar. If the tool is, however, added to a toolbar, the toolbars viewer takes precedence over this setting.
