javascript - Google Maps Drawing Manager limit to 1 polygon

Question

I am creating a map with the google maps v3 API. Using the drawing manager to draw shapes. Is there a way to disable the polygon button after 1 polygon has been drawn? I been reading thru the API but can't find any events for polygon start, only for polygoncomplete.

Maybe a way to detect drawingmode change? or remove google.maps.drawing.OverlayType.POLYGON but put it back if the current polygon was deleted?

Answer 1

documentation.

1. Start from this sample.

2. hide the drawing control in the polygoncomplete event

       drawingManager.setOptions({
         drawingControl: false
       });
   

3. add the drawing control in the deleteSelectedShape function

     drawingManager.setOptions({
      drawingControl: true
    });
   

4. configure the drawingManager to only add polygons

     drawingControlOptions: {
       drawingModes: [
         google.maps.drawing.OverlayType.POLYGON
       ]
     },
   

working example

code snippet:

var drawingManager;
var selectedShape;
var colors = ['#1E90FF', '#FF1493', '#32CD32', '#FF8C00', '#4B0082'];
var selectedColor;
var colorButtons = {};

function clearSelection() {
  if (selectedShape) {
    selectedShape.setEditable(false);
    selectedShape = null;
  }
}

function setSelection(shape) {
  clearSelection();
  selectedShape = shape;
  shape.setEditable(true);
  selectColor(shape.get('fillColor') || shape.get('strokeColor'));
}

function deleteSelectedShape() {
  if (selectedShape) {
    selectedShape.setMap(null);
    // To show:
    drawingManager.setOptions({
      drawingControl: true
    });
  }
}

function selectColor(color) {
  selectedColor = color;
  for (var i = 0; i < colors.length; ++i) {
    var currColor = colors[i];
    colorButtons[currColor].style.border = currColor == color ? '2px solid #789' : '2px solid #fff';
  }

  // Retrieves the current options from the drawing manager and replaces the
  // stroke or fill color as appropriate.
  var polylineOptions = drawingManager.get('polylineOptions');
  polylineOptions.strokeColor = color;
  drawingManager.set('polylineOptions', polylineOptions);

  var rectangleOptions = drawingManager.get('rectangleOptions');
  rectangleOptions.fillColor = color;
  drawingManager.set('rectangleOptions', rectangleOptions);

  var circleOptions = drawingManager.get('circleOptions');
  circleOptions.fillColor = color;
  drawingManager.set('circleOptions', circleOptions);

  var polygonOptions = drawingManager.get('polygonOptions');
  polygonOptions.fillColor = color;
  drawingManager.set('polygonOptions', polygonOptions);
}

function setSelectedShapeColor(color) {
