[OpenLayers-Users] Circles

[Lehtonen, Mika]

Hi Kenny,

it depends on whether you want to draw a "circle" or construct it on 
other ways. If you want to draw a circle, you can do it by adding 
control for it.

circle = new OpenLayers.Control.DrawFeature(vlayer,
OpenLayers.Handler.RegularPolygon,
{handlerOptions: {sides: 40} });
map.addControl(circle);

I am not sure how to construct it by code but I guess you have to 
construct a geometry first:
http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.7/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Geometry/Polygon-js.html
and then a feature from it. Wiser men will tell you.
