Vector Image Layer

Example of rendering vector data as an image layer.

This example uses ol/layer/VectorImage for faster rendering during interaction and animations, at the cost of less accurate rendering.

main.js

import GeoJSON from 'ol/format/GeoJSON.js';
import Map from 'ol/Map.js';
import VectorImageLayer from 'ol/layer/VectorImage.js';
import VectorLayer from 'ol/layer/Vector.js';
import VectorSource from 'ol/source/Vector.js';
import View from 'ol/View.js';

const vectorLayer = new VectorImageLayer({
  background: '#1a2b39',
  imageRatio: 2,
  source: new VectorSource({
    url: 'https://openlayers.org/data/vector/ecoregions.json',
    format: new GeoJSON(),
  }),
  style: {
    'fill-color': ['string', ['get', 'COLOR'], '#eee'],
  },
});

const map = new Map({
  layers: [vectorLayer],
  target: 'map',
  view: new View({
    center: [0, 0],
    zoom: 1,
  }),
});

const featureOverlay = new VectorLayer({
  source: new VectorSource(),
  map: map,
  style: {
    'stroke-color': 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7)',
    'stroke-width': 2,
  },
});

let highlight;
const displayFeatureInfo = function (pixel) {
  const feature = map.forEachFeatureAtPixel(pixel, function (feature) {
    return feature;
  });

  const info = document.getElementById('info');
  if (feature) {
    info.innerHTML = feature.get('ECO_NAME') || '&nbsp;';
  } else {
    info.innerHTML = '&nbsp;';
  }

  if (feature !== highlight) {
    if (highlight) {
      featureOverlay.getSource().removeFeature(highlight);
    }
    if (feature) {
      featureOverlay.getSource().addFeature(feature);
    }
    highlight = feature;
  }
};

map.on('pointermove', function (evt) {
  if (evt.dragging) {
    return;
  }
  displayFeatureInfo(evt.pixel);
});

map.on('click', function (evt) {
  displayFeatureInfo(evt.pixel);
});
