NAME

Geo::Google::StaticMaps::V2::Path - Generate Images from Google Static Maps V2 API

SYNOPSIS

  use Geo::Google::StaticMaps::V2;
  my $map=Geo::Google::StaticMaps::V2->new;
  my $path=$map->path(locations=>["Clifton, VA", "Pag, Croatia"], geodesic=>1); #isa Geo::Google::StaticMaps::V2::Path
  print $map->url, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

The packages generates images from the Google Static Maps V2 API which can be saved locally for use in accordance with your license with Google.

USAGE

PROPERTIES

weight

weight: (optional) specifies the thickness of the path in pixels. If no weight parameter is set, the path will appear in its default thickness (5 pixels).

color

color: (optional) specifies a color either as a 24-bit (example: color=0xFFFFCC) or 32-bit hexadecimal value (example: color=0xFFFFCCFF), or from the set {black, brown, green, purple, yellow, blue, gray, orange, red, white}.

When a 32-bit hex value is specified, the last two characters specify the 8-bit alpha transparency value. This value varies between 00 (completely transparent) and FF (completely opaque). Note that transparencies are supported in paths, though they are not supported for markers.

  my $color=$path->color("blue");
  my $color=$path->color("0xFFFFCC");
  my $color=$path->color({r=>255,g=>0,b=>0,a=>64}); #maps to red   25% returns 0xFF000040
  my $color=$path->color([0,255,0,"75%"]);          #maps to green 75% returns 0x00FF00C0

fillcolor

fillcolor: (optional) indicates both that the path marks off a polygonal area and specifies the fill color to use as an overlay within that area. The set of locations following need not be a "closed" loop; the Static Map server will automatically join the first and last points. Note, however, that any stroke on the exterior of the filled area will not be closed unless you specifically provide the same beginning and end location.

geodesic

geodesic: (optional) indicates that the requested path should be interpreted as a geodesic line that follows the curvature of the Earth. When false, the path is rendered as a straight line in screen space. Defaults to false.

METHODS

addLocation

  $marker->addLocation("Clifton, VA");
