ol.render.Feature does not have geometry.getFlatInteriorPoint about ol-mapbox-style HOT 10 CLOSED

Note that in OpenLayers, you can always configure the MVT format with featureClass: ol.Feature to support that kind of thing.

The error occurs when OpenLayers wants to apply a text style to a polygon. Which is not a good idea with vector tiles, since polygons will be cut near (not even at) tile boundaries, and you will get repeated, cut-off and ugly looking labels. It is better to have label points in your vector tiles, and use those instead of on-the-fly calculated interior points.

@ahocevar fast and precise resolution, as always. Many thanks 👍

In the meantime, OpenLayers 4.5 is out, which has getInteriorPoint on ol.render.Feature.

I think this is a follow up - if i wanted to show points styles for each vertex in a linestring. Should I also include those in my vector tiles? Alot of dublicate data, is it not? atleast the geometry style for creating a multipoint feature with all vertexes is not working with ol.render.feature

What exactly are you referring to here?

from ol-mapbox-style.

sorry,

something like this:

 var vertexstyle = new ol.style.Style({
                    image: image,
                    geometry: function (feature: ol.render.Feature) {
                        let ls = (feature.getGeometry() as ol.geom.LineString); //this do not work on vectortiles
                        console.log(ls.getGeometry());
                      
                        var coordinates =ls.getCoordinates();
                        return new ol.geom.MultiPoint(coordinates);
                    }
                });

This is an OpenLayers question. But you're right, that does not work. Is there any mapbox-style property to render each vertex of a line?

from ol-mapbox-style.

ahh, sorry - i did not notice this was not in the openlayer repository.

I dont know about mapbox-styles, was just googling as i ran into my problem where I used to use the above kind of styling to do it on normal vector layers.

ahh, yes - that worked. thank you
