Overview Map - geosolutions-it/MapStore GitHub Wiki

This plugin wraps the OpenLayers OverviewMap control in order to provide a mini preview of the current map extent.

Configuration

The most complete configuration of this tool is:

{
    "ptype": "gxp_overviewmap",
        "maximized": true,
    "layers": [{
	"wmsserver":"http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms",
	"title":"States",
	"parameters":{
		"layers":"topp:states" 
	},
	"options":{
		"isBaseLayer": true
	}
    }, {
	"wmsserver":"http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms",
	"title":"Roads",
	"parameters":{
                "transparent": true,
		"layers":"topp:roads"
	},
	"options":{
		"isBaseLayer": false
	}
    }]
}

The basic configuration is:

{
    "ptype": "gxp_overviewmap"
}

• ptype: The plugin name : gxp_overviewmap.
• layers: The layers to use inside the preview. Make attention to the layers configuration ('isBaseLayer' and 'transparent') in order to correctly show each of them inside the preview.
