OpenLayers.Map
Instances of OpenLayers.Map are interactive maps embedded in a web page. Create a new map with the OpenLayers.Map constructor.
On their own maps do not provide much functionality. To extend a map it’s necessary to add controls (OpenLayers.Control) and layers (OpenLayers.Layer) to the map.

events
Register a listener for a particular event with the following syntax
map.events.register(type, obj, listener);
Listeners will be called with a reference to an event object. The properties of this event depends on exactly what happened.
All event objects have at least the following properties
| object | {Object} A reference to map.events.object. |
| element | {DOMElement} A reference to map.events.element. |
Browser events have the following additional properties
| xy | {OpenLayers.Pixel} The pixel location of the event (relative to the the map viewport). |
Supported map event types
| preaddlayer | triggered before a layer has been added. The event object will include a layer property that references the layer to be added. When a listener returns “false” the adding will be aborted. |
| addlayer | triggered after a layer has been added. The event object will include a layer property that references the added layer. |
| preremovelayer | triggered before a layer has been removed. The event object will include a layer property that references the layer to be removed. When a listener returns “false” the removal will be aborted. |
| removelayer | triggered after a layer has been removed. The event object will include a layer property that references the removed layer. |
| changelayer | triggered after a layer name change, order change, opacity change, params change, visibility change (actual visibility, not the layer’s visibility property) or attribution change (due to extent change). Listeners will receive an event object with layer and property properties. The layer property will be a reference to the changed layer. The property property will be a key to the changed property (name, order, opacity, params, visibility or attribution). |
| movestart | triggered after the start of a drag, pan, or zoom. The event object may include a zoomChanged property that tells whether the zoom has changed. |
| move | triggered after each drag, pan, or zoom |
| moveend | triggered after a drag, pan, or zoom completes |
| zoomend | triggered after a zoom completes |
| mouseover | triggered after mouseover the map |
| mouseout | triggered after mouseout the map |
| mousemove | triggered after mousemove the map |
| changebaselayer | triggered after the base layer changes |
| updatesize | triggered after the updateSize method was executed |
fractionalZoom
{Boolean} For a base layer that supports it, allow the map resolution to be set to a value between one of the values in the resolutions array. Default is false.
When fractionalZoom is set to true, it is possible to zoom to an arbitrary extent. This requires a base layer from a source that supports requests for arbitrary extents (i.e. not cached tiles on a regular lattice). This means that fractionalZoom will not work with commercial layers (Google, Yahoo, VE), layers using TileCache, or any other pre-cached data sources.
If you are using fractionalZoom, then you should also use getResolutionForZoom instead of layer.resolutions[zoom] as the former works for non-integer zoom levels.
events
{OpenLayers.Events} An events object that handles all events on the map
allOverlays
{Boolean} Allow the map to function with “overlays” only. Defaults to false. If true, the lowest layer in the draw order will act as the base layer. In addition, if set to true, all layers will have isBaseLayer set to false when they are added to the map.
Note
If you set map.allOverlays to true, then you cannot use map.setBaseLayer or layer.setIsBaseLayer. With allOverlays true, the lowest layer in the draw layer is the base layer. So, to change the base layer, use setLayerIndex or raiseLayer to set the layer index to 0.
div
{DOMElement|String} The element that contains the map (or an id for that element). If the OpenLayers.Map constructor is called with two arguments, this should be provided as the first argument. Alternatively, the map constructor can be called with the options object as the only argument. In this case (one argument), a div property may or may not be provided. If the div property is not provided, the map can be rendered to a container later using the render method.
Note
If you are calling render after map construction, do not use maxResolution auto. Instead, divide your maxExtent by your maximum expected dimension.
size
{OpenLayers.Size} Size of the main div (this.div)
layerContainerOrigin
{OpenLayers.LonLat} The lonlat at which the later container was re-initialized (on-zoom)
layers
{Array(OpenLayers.Layer)} Ordered list of layers in the map
controls
{Array(OpenLayers.Control)} List of controls associated with the map.
If not provided in the map options at construction, the map will by default be given the following controls if present in the build:
popups
{Array(OpenLayers.Popup)} List of popups associated with the map
baseLayer
{OpenLayers.Layer} The currently selected base layer. This determines min/max zoom level, projection, etc.
center
{OpenLayers.LonLat} The current center of the map
tileSize
{OpenLayers.Size} Set in the map options to override the default tile size for this map.
projection
{String} Set in the map options to specify the default projection for layers added to this map. When using a projection other than EPSG:4326 (CRS:84, Geographic) or EPSG:3857 (EPSG:900913, Web Mercator), also set maxExtent, maxResolution or resolutions. Default is “EPSG:4326”. Note that the projection of the map is usually determined by that of the current baseLayer (see baseLayer and getProjectionObject).
maxResolution
{Float} Required if you are not displaying the whole world on a tile with the size specified in tileSize.
maxExtent
{<OpenLayers.Bounds>|Array} If provided as an array, the array should consist of four values (left, bottom, right, top). The maximum extent for the map. Default depends on projection; if this is one of those defined in OpenLayers.Projection.defaults (EPSG:4326 or web mercator), maxExtent will be set to the value defined there; else, defaults to null. To restrict user panning and zooming of the map, use restrictedExtent instead. The value for maxExtent will change calculations for tile URLs.
restrictedExtent
{<OpenLayers.Bounds>|Array} If provided as an array, the array should consist of four values (left, bottom, right, top). Limit map navigation to this extent where possible. If a non-null restrictedExtent is set, panning will be restricted to the given bounds. In addition, zooming to a resolution that displays more than the restricted extent will center the map on the restricted extent. If you wish to limit the zoom level or resolution, use maxResolution.
displayProjection
{OpenLayers.Projection} Requires proj4js support for projections other than EPSG:4326 or EPSG:900913/EPSG:3857. Projection used by several controls to display data to user. If this property is set, it will be set on any control which has a null displayProjection property at the time the control is added to the map.
tileManager
{<OpenLayers.TileManager>|Object} By default, and if the build contains TileManager.js, the map will use the TileManager to queue image requests and to cache tile image elements. To create a map without a TileManager configure the map with tileManager: null. To create a TileManager with non-default options, supply the options instead or alternatively supply an instance of {OpenLayers.TileManager}.
eventListeners
{Object} If set as an option at construction, the eventListeners object will be registered with OpenLayers.Events.on. Object structure must be a listeners object as shown in the example for the events.on method.
panTween
{OpenLayers.Tween} Animated panning tween object, see panTo()
zoomTween
{OpenLayers.Tween} Animated zooming tween object, see zoomTo()
paddingForPopups
{OpenLayers.Bounds} Outside margin of the popup. Used to prevent the popup from getting too close to the map border.
OpenLayers.Map
Constructor for a new OpenLayers.Map instance. There are two possible ways to call the map constructor. See the examples below.
Parameters
| div | {DOMElement|String} The element or id of an element in your page that will contain the map. May be omitted if the div option is provided or if you intend to call the render method later. |
| options | {Object} Optional object with properties to tag onto the map. |
Valid options (in addition to the listed API properties)
| center | {<OpenLayers.LonLat>|Array} The default initial center of the map. If provided as array, the first value is the x coordinate, and the 2nd value is the y coordinate. Only specify if layers is provided. Note that if an ArgParser/Permalink control is present, and the querystring contains coordinates, center will be set by that, and this option will be ignored. |
| zoom | {Number} The initial zoom level for the map. Only specify if layers is provided. Note that if an ArgParser/Permalink control is present, and the querystring contains a zoom level, zoom will be set by that, and this option will be ignored. |
| extent | {<OpenLayers.Bounds>|Array} The initial extent of the map. If provided as an array, the array should consist of four values (left, bottom, right, top). Only specify if center and zoom are not provided. |
Examples
// create a map with default options in an element with the id "map1"
var map = new OpenLayers.Map("map1");
// create a map with non-default options in an element with id "map2"
var options = {
projection: "EPSG:3857",
maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-200000, -200000, 200000, 200000),
center: new OpenLayers.LonLat(-12356463.476333, 5621521.4854095)
};
var map = new OpenLayers.Map("map2", options);
// map with non-default options - same as above but with a single argument,
// a restricted extent, and using arrays for bounds and center
var map = new OpenLayers.Map({
div: "map_id",
projection: "EPSG:3857",
maxExtent: [-18924313.432222, -15538711.094146, 18924313.432222, 15538711.094146],

center: [-12356463.476333, 5621521.4854095]
});

maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(-200000, -200000, 200000, 200000)
});destroy
destroy:function()

removeLayer
removeLayer: function( layer, setNewBaseLayer )
Removes a layer from the map by removing its visual element (the layer.div property), then removing it from the map’s internal list of layers, setting the layer’s map property to null.
a “removelayer” event is triggered.
very worthy of mention is that simply removing a layer from a map will not cause the removal of any popups which may have been created by the layer. this is due to the fact that it was decided at some point that popups would not belong to layers. thus there is no way for us to know here to which layer the popup belongs.
A simple solution to this is simply to call destroy() on the layer. the default OpenLayers.Layer class’s destroy() function automatically takes care to remove itself from whatever map it has been attached to.
The correct solution is for the layer itself to register an event-handler on “removelayer” and when it is called, if it recognizes itself as the layer being removed, then it cycles through its own personal list of popups, removing them from the map.
Parameters
| layer | {OpenLayers.Layer} |
| setNewBaseLayer | {Boolean} Default is true |
getLayerIndex
getLayerIndex: function ( layer )
Parameters
| layer | {OpenLayers.Layer} |
Returns
{Integer} The current (zero-based) index of the given layer in the map’s layer stack. Returns -1 if the layer isn’t on the map.
setLayerIndex
setLayerIndex: function ( layer, idx )
Move the given layer to the specified (zero-based) index in the layer list, changing its z-index in the map display. Use map.getLayerIndex() to find out the current index of a layer. Note that this cannot (or at least should not) be effectively used to raise base layers above overlays.
Parameters
| layer | {OpenLayers.Layer} |
| idx | {int} |
raiseLayer
raiseLayer: function ( layer, delta )
Change the index of the given layer by delta. If delta is positive, the layer is moved up the map’s layer stack; if delta is negative, the layer is moved down. Again, note that this cannot (or at least should not) be effectively used to raise base layers above overlays.
Paremeters
| layer | {OpenLayers.Layer} |
| delta | {int} |
setBaseLayer
setBaseLayer: function( newBaseLayer )
Allows user to specify one of the currently-loaded layers as the Map’s new base layer.
Parameters

addControl: function ( control, px )
Add the passed over control to the map. Optionally position the control at the given pixel.
Parameters

| px | {OpenLayers.Pixel} |
addControls
addControls: function ( controls, pixels )
Add all of the passed over controls to the map. You can pass over an optional second array with pixel-objects to position the controls. The indices of the two arrays should match and you can add null as pixel for those controls you want to be autopositioned.
Parameters
| controls | {Array(OpenLayers.Control)} |
| pixels | {Array(OpenLayers.Pixel)} |
getControl
getControl: function ( id )
Parameters
| id | {String} ID of the control to return. |
Returns
{OpenLayers.Control} The control from the map’s list of controls which has a matching ‘id’. If none found, returns null.
removeControl
removeControl: function ( control )
Remove a control from the map. Removes the control both from the map object’s internal array of controls, as well as from the map’s viewPort (assuming the control was not added outsideViewport)
Parameters
| control | {OpenLayers.Control} The control to remove. |
addPopup
addPopup: function( popup, exclusive )
Parameters

adjustZoom: function( zoom )
Parameters
| zoom | {Number} The zoom level to adjust |
Returns
{Integer} Adjusted zoom level that shows a map not wider than its baseLayer’s maxExtent.
getMinZoom
getMinZoom: function()
Returns the minimum zoom level for the current map view. If the base layer is configured with <wrapDateLine> set to true, this will be the first zoom level that shows no more than one world width in the current map viewport. Components that rely on this value (e.g. zoom sliders) should also listen to the map’s “updatesize” event and call this method in the “updatesize” listener.

getProjection
getProjection: function()
This method returns a string representing the projection. In the case of projection support, this will be the srsCode which is loaded -- otherwise it will simply be the string value that was passed to the projection at startup.
FIXME: In 3.0, we will remove getProjectionObject, and instead return a Projection object from this function.
Returns
{String} The Projection string from the base layer or null.
getProjectionObject
getProjectionObject: function()
Returns the projection obect from the baselayer.
Returns
{OpenLayers.Projection} The Projection of the base layer.

getMaxExtent: function ( options )
Parameters
| options | {Object} |
Allowed Options
| restricted | {Boolean} If true, returns restricted extent (if it is available.) |
Returns
{OpenLayers.Bounds} The maxExtent property as set on the current baselayer, unless the ‘restricted’ option is set, in which case the ‘restrictedExtent’ option from the map is returned (if it is set).
getExtent
getExtent: function ()
Returns
{OpenLayers.Bounds} A Bounds object which represents the lon/lat bounds of the current viewPort. If no baselayer is set, returns null.
getZoomForExtent
getZoomForExtent: function ( bounds, closest )
Parameters
| bounds | {OpenLayers.Bounds} |
| closest | {Boolean} Find the zoom level that most closely fits the specified bounds. Note that this may result in a zoom that does not exactly contain the entire extent. Default is false. |
Returns
{Integer} A suitable zoom level for the specified bounds. If no baselayer is set, returns null.
getZoomForResolution
getZoomForResolution: function( resolution, closest )
Parameters
| resolution | {Float} |
| closest | {Boolean} Find the zoom level that corresponds to the absolute closest resolution, which may result in a zoom whose corresponding resolution is actually smaller than we would have desired (if this is being called from a getZoomForExtent() call, then this means that the returned zoom index might not actually contain the entire extent specified... but it’ll be close). Default is false. |
Returns
{Integer} A suitable zoom level for the specified resolution. If no baselayer is set, returns null.
zoomTo
zoomTo: function( zoom, xy )
Zoom to a specific zoom level. Zooming will be animated unless the map is configured with {zoomMethod: null}. To zoom without animation, use setCenter without a lonlat argument.
Parameters
| zoom | {Integer} |
zoomToExtent
zoomToExtent: function( bounds, closest )
Zoom to the passed in bounds, recenter
Parameters
| bounds | {<OpenLayers.Bounds>|Array} If provided as an array, the array should consist of four values (left, bottom, right, top). |
