Leaflet-> prototype geometry

Question

I have a series of circles and lines representing some information about a geographical location. Is it possible to reuse that (complex) geometry by simply attaching it to a single point?

In other words, I would like to use that set (of geometries) as a prototype geometry for other locations, is that possible?

Answer 1

If i understand you correctly, yes it is easy to re-use something complex with...functional abstraction !

This would look like :

function createMyComplexThingAt(lat, lon) {
    // a circle centered where you asked the complex thing
    var circle1 = L.circle([lat, lon], 8);
    // a circle which is on the top left
    var circle2 = L.circle([lat + 0.02, lon + 0.05], 8);
    // etc...
    // until
    var lgroup = L.layerGroup([circle1, circle2]);

    return lgroup;
}

var lgroup1 = createMyComplexThingAt(30, 44);
var lgroup2 = createMyComplexThingAt(21, 2);
var lgroup3 = createMyComplexThingAt(0.33, 5.44);

You can even give more parameters to your complex thing as a title text that would be used in popup or whatever you can think of.
