Leaflet.SvgShapeMarkers

Additional SVG marker types for leaflet.js such as triangle, diamond and square. Check out the demo.

Installing

Either downloading this repo or install from npm npm install leaflet-svg-shape-markers

Usage

Step 1. Include the required js in your document

   	<script src="leaflet-svg-shape-markers/dist/leaflet-svg-shape-markers.min.js"></script>

Step 2. Add a point to your map using the shapeMarker function

	var square = L.shapeMarker([51.505, -0.09], {
		shape: "square",
		radius: 20
	}).addTo(map);

Step 3. You can pass a number of options to the plugin to control various settings.

Option	Type	Default	Description
shape	string	"triangle"	A valid shape, one of "triangle" or "square" or "diamond" or "x"
radius	number	20	The size of the svg marker in pixels

L.shapeMarker also extends the path class so any options that you can pass (such as color or fillOpacity) are also valid.

	var diamond = L.shapeMarker([51.505, -0.09], {
		fillColor: "#cccccc",
		color: "black",
		shape: "diamond",
		radius: 200
	}).addTo(map);
