Class: KML

ol.format.KML


Feature format for reading and writing data in the KML format.

Note that the KML format uses the URL() constructor. Older browsers such as IE which do not support this will need a URL polyfill to be loaded before use.

Name Type Description
extractStyles boolean | undefined

Extract styles from the KML. Default is true.

showPointNames boolean | undefined

Show names as labels for placemarks which contain points. Default is true.

defaultStyle Array.<ol.style.Style> | undefined

Methods

readFeature(source, opt_options){ol.Feature}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 1807

Read the first feature from a KML source. MultiGeometries are converted into GeometryCollections if they are a mix of geometry types, and into MultiPoint/ MultiLineString/MultiPolygon if they are all of the same type.

Name Type Description
source Document | Node | Object | string

Source.

options

Read options.

Name Type Description
dataProjection ol.ProjectionLike

Projection of the data we are reading. If not provided, the projection will be derived from the data (where possible) or the defaultDataProjection of the format is assigned (where set). If the projection can not be derived from the data and if no defaultDataProjection is set for a format, the features will not be reprojected.

extent ol.Extent

Tile extent of the tile being read. This is only used and required for ol.format.MVT. Required.

featureProjection ol.ProjectionLike

Projection of the feature geometries created by the format reader. If not provided, features will be returned in the dataProjection.

Returns:
Feature.

readFeatures(source, opt_options){Array.<ol.Feature>}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 1838

Read all features from a KML source. MultiGeometries are converted into GeometryCollections if they are a mix of geometry types, and into MultiPoint/ MultiLineString/MultiPolygon if they are all of the same type.

Name Type Description
source Document | Node | Object | string

Source.

If the projection can not be derived from the data and if no defaultDataProjection is set for a format, the features will not be reprojected.

extent ol.Extent

featureProjection ol.ProjectionLike

Projection of the feature geometries created by the format reader. If not provided, features will be returned in the dataProjection.

Returns:
Features.

readName(source){string|undefined}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 1889

Read the name of the KML.

Name Type Description
source Document | Node | string

Souce.

Returns:
Name.

readNetworkLinks(source){Array.<Object>}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 1957

Read the network links of the KML.

Name Type Description
source Document | Node | string

Source.

Returns:
Network links.

readProjection(source){ol.proj.Projection}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 2089

Read the projection from a KML source.

Name Type Description
source Document | Node | Object | string

Source.

Returns:
Projection.

readRegion(source){Array.<Object>}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 2022

Read the regions of the KML.

Name Type Description
source Document | Node | string

Source.

Returns:
Regions.

readRegionFromNode(node){Array.<Object>}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 2058
Name Type Description
node Node

Node.

Returns:
Region.

writeFeatures(features, opt_options){string}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 3057

Encode an array of features in the KML format. GeometryCollections, MultiPoints, MultiLineStrings, and MultiPolygons are output as MultiGeometries.

Name Type Description
features Array.<ol.Feature>

Features.

Options.

Name Type Description
dataProjection ol.ProjectionLike

Projection of the data we are writing. If not provided, the defaultDataProjection of the format is assigned (where set). If no defaultDataProjection is set for a format, the features will be returned in the featureProjection.

featureProjection ol.ProjectionLike

Projection of the feature geometries that will be serialized by the format writer. If not provided, geometries are assumed to be in the dataProjection if that is set; in other words, they are not transformed.

rightHanded boolean | undefined

When writing geometries, follow the right-hand rule for linear ring orientation. This means that polygons will have counter-clockwise exterior rings and clockwise interior rings. By default, coordinates are serialized as they are provided at construction. If true, the right-hand rule will be applied. If false, the left-hand rule will be applied (clockwise for exterior and counter-clockwise for interior rings). Note that not all formats support this. The GeoJSON format does use this property when writing geometries.

decimals number | undefined

Maximum number of decimal places for coordinates. Coordinates are stored internally as floats, but floating-point arithmetic can create coordinates with a large number of decimal places, not generally wanted on output. Set a number here to round coordinates. Can also be used to ensure that coordinates read in can be written back out with the same number of decimals. Default is no rounding.

Returns:
Result.

writeFeaturesNode(features, opt_options){Node}

src/ol/format/kml.js, line 3070

Encode an array of features in the KML format as an XML node. GeometryCollections, MultiPoints, MultiLineStrings, and MultiPolygons are output as MultiGeometries.

Name Type Description
features Array.<ol.Feature>

Features.
