[OpenLayers-Users] how to update bounds in a vector feature after modifications ?

[JS Ubei]

Hi Andreas,

I've try the second possibility :

boxFeature.geometry.components[0].components[0].x = longMin;
boxFeature.geometry.components[0].components[0].y = latMin;
boxFeature.geometry.components[0].components[0].clearBounds();

And this perfectly working !!!

Thanks a lot Andreas !

Best regards

You have to use the API to modify coordinates. Instead of the above two lines, just do:

boxFeature.geometry.components[0].components[0].move(180, 90);

Or if you want to set the coordinates directly, you have to call clearBounds() on the geometry you changed, i.e.

boxFeature.geometry.components[0].components[0].x = 0;
boxFeature.geometry.components[0].components[0].y = 0;
boxFeature.geometry.components[0].components[0].clearBounds();

Now you will still have the same bounds, because these are still the bounds of the polygon.

"POLYGON((0 0,180 -90,180 90,-180 90,0 0))"

But if you now do

boxFeature.geometry.components[0].components[1].move(-180,90);

your polygon will be

"POLYGON((0 0,0 0,180 90,-180 90,0 0))"

and the bounds will be

-180,0,180,90
