Class Feature<Geometry>

Classdesc

A vector object for geographic features with a geometry and other attribute properties, similar to the features in vector file formats like GeoJSON.

Features can be styled individually with setStyle; otherwise they use the style of their vector layer.

Note that attribute properties are set as module:ol/Object~BaseObject properties on the feature object, so they are observable, and have get/set accessors.

Typically, a feature has a single geometry property. You can set the geometry using the setGeometry method and get it with getGeometry. It is possible to store more than one geometry on a feature using attribute properties. By default, the geometry used for rendering is identified by the property name geometry. If you want to use another geometry property for rendering, use the setGeometryName method to change the attribute property associated with the geometry for the feature. For example:


import Feature from 'ol/Feature.js';
import Polygon from 'ol/geom/Polygon.js';
import Point from 'ol/geom/Point.js';

const feature = new Feature({
  geometry: new Polygon(polyCoords),
  labelPoint: new Point(labelCoords),
  name: 'My Polygon',
});

// get the polygon geometry
const poly = feature.getGeometry();

// Render the feature as a point using the coordinates from labelPoint
feature.setGeometryName('labelPoint');

// get the point geometry
const point = feature.getGeometry();
