Leaflet Rotated Marker
Enables rotation of marker icons in Leaflet. Demo
Compatible with versions 0.7.* and 1.* of Leaflet. Doesn't work on IE < 9.
npm install leaflet-rotatedmarkerUsage
L.marker([48.8631169, 2.3708919], {
rotationAngle: 45
}).addTo(map);API
It simply extends the L.Marker class with two new options:
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
rotationAngle |
Number |
0 | Rotation angle, in degrees, clockwise. |
rotationOrigin |
String |
'bottom center' |
The rotation center, as a transform-origin CSS rule. |
and two new methods:
| Method | Returns | Description |
|---|---|---|
setRotationAngle(newAngle) |
this |
Sets the rotation angle value. |
setRotationOrigin(newOrigin) |
this |
Sets the rotation origin value. |
The default rotationOrigin value will rotate around the bottom center point, corresponding to the "tip" of the marker for most commonly used icons. If your marker icon has no tip, or you want to rotate around its center, use center center.
Note
On purpose, it doesn't rotate marker icon shadows. Mainly because there is no way to make it look good with the perspective of classic, pin type shadows (anyway, these shadows are so 2005, right?).
So just disable icon shadows, or use simple ones which will work for all marker angles.
