Hi Horst,
I've written a tentative snap method which can do line snap.

snapShape(shapeId,snapTolerance,pointString,[arrayWithLineSegments])

As you see, where is a new optional arg called 'arrayWithLineSegments'. This must be an array with point strings representing line segments (that is linestrings or polygons)

e.g:

Array ( [0] => 1 1,2 2,3 3 [1] => 20 20,30 30,40 40 [2] => 283 167,114 151,3 3,283 167) 

if you've a geometry object called $geo you can do $arrayWithLineSegments=$geo->getShapeArray()

A bug: If a point don't have a perpendicular projection on to a the line segment it will snap to the imaginary extention of the line segment. Therefore I have made vertex snap priority one meaning that vertex snap will occure even if a line segment is closer.

I'll try to figure this out.

You can pass FALSE instead of pointString to the method and it will only do line snap with the risk of the imaginary extention bug.

I've updates CVS.

You can also try it on my demo web site

That's what I meant. The point should snap to the closest point on a line
belonging to a polyline or polygon. Take a look at the attached image.

With best regards
