Hey-
Can someone describe the following to me:
1) OpenLayers.Popup
2) OpenLayers.Popup.Anchored
3) OpenLayers.Popup.AnchoredBubble
4) OpenLayers.Popup.Framed
5) OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud
Seems to me like all popups are "anchored" and I can't tell what is the
implied distinction in the words "bubble" and "cloud".
Here are all the docs I've been able to find on popups:
http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Whydontbordersshowuponmypopups
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Popup-js.html
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Popup/Anchored-js.html
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Popup/AnchoredBubble-js.html
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Popup/Framed-js.html
http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Popup/FramedCloud-js.html
None of the above shed much light on the question "why so many, and
which to use when?" I also see the popupMatrix.html example but I think
this is supposed to be a manual acceptance test instead of an
educational example.
Thanks for any help (preferably in the form of natural docs and/or wiki
pages).
Tim
