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 text = "Marker text!";
var marker = new giscloud.LabelMarker(); //create marker
giscloud.ui.map.addMarker(marker); //add marker to map
marker.location(lonlat).content(text);
// example for buffer layer
// after a layer was created we can use its
//createBuffer method to create a buffer analysis layer
var someLayer = new giscloud.Layer(layerDef);
someLayer.createBuffer(
{ // buffer params, name and size are not optional
name: "buffLayer",

}
)
.then(res => console.log("Res", res)) // if all goes well the promise
// is resolved with the new layerId
.fail(err => console.log("Err", err)); // if there's an error;
// rejected with error object
//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

Note: adding or removing a feature from a map requires reinitialization of the map or the layer it belongs to in order to see the changes. (Check out giscloud.maps.reset or giscloud.layers.reset ) The optimal way to add more than one feature is to first add all of them and then reinitialize the current map or layer.

Options for default tools are: - instant (if true this tool will just run the activation function when activated, no event is triggered) - actions (functions which will handle tool actions) -> activation (activation function) -> deactivation (deactivation function) - styles (style options) -> caption (visible text for the tool or alt text if icons are used) -> showCaption (if true, the caption will be visible) -> cssClass (css class for the tool, .gc-tool is the default class) -> active (css class for an active tool, .gc-tool-active is the default class) -> hover (css class for the tool hover event, .gc-tool-hover is the default class) - icon (src for the icon image) -> iconActive (src for the active icon image) -> iconHover (src for the hover icon image) - toolbar (if the tooolbar is set through options, after the tool is added to that toolbar it will not be rendered, instead you should call the tool's method yourself. 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.
