[OpenLayers-Users] single file library distorts size of markers?

[Joanne Cook]

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for explaining this to me. While it is entirely possible that marker.js was modified (without my knowledge- I had someone helping me with the map a while back) I can absolutely guarantee that the compressed version was built *after* that happened. 

Having said that, if there is a copy of OpenLayers.js in the build folder already (as there is when it shipped) is it possible that the build process does *not* overwrite that if the user doesn't have enough permissions (ie on Ubuntu)?

Can I get away with just changing the values in the line that you have pointed out?

Regarding the difference between 2.3 and 2.4- I will make the changes that you suggested. 

Many thanks for your help!

Jo

This isn't true.

The non-compressed version uses a modified version of Marker.js:
specifically, the size of the default icon is changed from 21,25 to 15,
15. Presumably, the compressed version was built prior to making this
change, since line 471 has "21,25" in it in the appropriate code.

Rebuild your compressed library, and check to make sure that the string
'15,15' is in it somewhere, and that '21,25' is not.
