[OpenLayers-Users] Remove Features By Id

[Ivan Grcic]

Hi,

mylayer.removeFeatures(mylayer.getFeatureById(startpoint.id))

Andreas, I think that array param is not necessary, single feature
should also work

* APIMethod: removeFeatures line 581:
if (!(features instanceof Array)) {
            features = [features];
}

BTW features automatically get id, so  I wouldnt asign IDs manually.

Cheers
