Polylines & Polygons

Learn how to draw lines and polygons on your maps.

​
Simple Polyline

import { HereMap, Polyline } from '@rodrito/react-here-maps';

const route = [
  { lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.0060 },
  { lat: 40.7589, lng: -73.9851 },
  { lat: 40.7614, lng: -73.9776 },
];

<HereMap apikey="YOUR_API_KEY" options={{ center: route[0], zoom: 13 }}>
  <Polyline points={route} />
</HereMap>

​
Styled Polyline

<Polyline
  points={route}
  options={{
    style: {
      strokeColor: '#FF5733',
      lineWidth: 6,
      lineCap: 'round',
      lineJoin: 'round',
    }
  }}
/>

​
Multiple Routes

const routes = [
  {
    id: 'route-1',
    name: 'Route A',
    points: [
      { lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.0060 },
      { lat: 40.7589, lng: -73.9851 },
    ],
    color: '#FF5733',
  },
  {
    id: 'route-2',
    name: 'Route B',
    points: [
      { lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.0060 },
      { lat: 40.7614, lng: -73.9776 },
    ],
    color: '#33FF57',
  },
];

<HereMap apikey="YOUR_API_KEY" options={{ center: { lat: 40.7358, lng: -73.9955 }, zoom: 12 }}>
  {routes.map((route) => (
    <Polyline
      key={route.id}
      points={route.points}
      options={{
        style: {
          strokeColor: route.color,
          lineWidth: 5,
        }
      }}
    />
  ))}
</HereMap>

​
Simple Polygon

import { Polygon } from '@rodrito/react-here-maps';

const area = [
  { lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.0060 },
  { lat: 40.7228, lng: -74.0060 },
  { lat: 40.7228, lng: -73.9960 },
  { lat: 40.7128, lng: -73.9960 },
];

<HereMap apikey="YOUR_API_KEY" options={{ center: area[0], zoom: 13 }}>
  <Polygon points={area} />
</HereMap>

​
Styled Polygon

<Polygon
  points={area}
  options={{
    style: {
      fillColor: 'rgba(30, 167, 253, 0.4)',
      strokeColor: '#1EA7FD',
      lineWidth: 3,
    }
  }}
/>

​
Polygon with Hole

const outerBoundary = [
  { lat: 40.7, lng: -74.02 },
  { lat: 40.73, lng: -74.02 },
  { lat: 40.73, lng: -73.98 },
  { lat: 40.7, lng: -73.98 },
];

const innerHole = [
  { lat: 40.715, lng: -74.01 },
  { lat: 40.7225, lng: -74.01 },
  { lat: 40.7225, lng: -73.99 },
  { lat: 40.715, lng: -73.99 },
];

<HereMap apikey="YOUR_API_KEY" options={{ center: { lat: 40.7163, lng: -74.0 }, zoom: 13 }}>
  <Polygon
    points={outerBoundary}
    holes={[innerHole]}
    options={{
      style: {
        fillColor: 'rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3)',
        strokeColor: '#FF0000',
        lineWidth: 2,
      }
    }}
  />
</HereMap>

​
Route with Waypoints

import { HereMap, Polyline, Marker } from '@rodrito/react-here-maps';

const waypoints = [
  { lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.0060, label: 'Start' },
  { lat: 40.7589, lng: -73.9851, label: 'Stop 1' },
  { lat: 40.7614, lng: -73.9776, label: 'End' },
];

<HereMap apikey="YOUR_API_KEY" options={{ center: waypoints[0], zoom: 12 }}>
  <Polyline
    points={waypoints}
    options={{
      style: {
        strokeColor: '#1EA7FD',
        lineWidth: 4,
      }
    }}
  />

  {waypoints.map((point, index) => (
    <Marker key={index} position={point} label={point.label} />
  ))}
</HereMap>

Interactive Drawing

import { useState } from 'react';

export function DrawingTool() {
  const [points, setPoints] = useState<Array<{ lat: number; lng: number }>>([]);
  const [mode, setMode] = useState<'polyline' | 'polygon'>('polyline');

  const handleMapClick = (lat: number, lng: number) => {
    setPoints([...points, { lat, lng }]);
  };

  const clearPoints = () => setPoints([]);

  return (
    <div>
      <div style={{ marginBottom: '1rem' }}>
        <button onClick={() => setMode('polyline')}>
          Draw Polyline
        </button>
        <button onClick={() => setMode('polygon')}>
          Draw Polygon
        </button>
        <button onClick={clearPoints}>Clear</button>
        <span> Points: {points.length}</span>
      </div>

      <HereMap apikey="YOUR_API_KEY" options={{ center: { lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.0060 }, zoom: 12 }}>
        {points.length > 0 && mode === 'polyline' && (
          <Polyline points={points} />
        )}

        {points.length > 2 && mode === 'polygon' && (
          <Polygon points={points} />
        )}

        {points.map((point, index) => (
          <Marker key={index} position={point} label={`${index + 1}`} />
        ))}
      </HereMap>
    </div>
  );
}

Zones and Regions

const zones = [
  {
    id: 'zone-1',
    name: 'Zone A',
    points: [
      { lat: 40.70, lng: -74.02 },
      { lat: 40.72, lng: -74.02 },
      { lat: 40.72, lng: -74.00 },
      { lat: 40.70, lng: -74.00 },
    ],
    color: 'rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3)',
  },
  {
    id: 'zone-2',
    name: 'Zone B',
    points: [
      { lat: 40.72, lng: -74.02 },
      { lat: 40.74, lng: -74.02 },
      { lat: 40.74, lng: -74.00 },
      { lat: 40.72, lng: -74.00 },
    ],
    color: 'rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.3)',
  },
];

<HereMap apikey="YOUR_API_KEY" options={{ center: { lat: 40.72, lng: -74.01 }, zoom: 13 }}>
  {zones.map((zone) => (
    <Polygon
      key={zone.id}
      points={zone.points}
      options={{
        style: {
          fillColor: zone.color,
          strokeColor: zone.color.replace('0.3', '1'),
          lineWidth: 2,
        }
      }}
    />
  ))}
</HereMap>

​
Dashed Lines

<Polyline
  points={route}
  options={{
    style: {
      strokeColor: '#007BFF',
      lineWidth: 4,
      lineDash: [10, 5], // 10px line, 5px gap
    }
  }}
/>
