Class: ScaleLine

ol.control.ScaleLine

A control displaying rough x-axis distances, calculated for the center of the viewport. No scale line will be shown when the x-axis distance cannot be calculated in the view projection (e.g. at or beyond the poles in EPSG:4326). By default the scale line will show in the bottom left portion of the map, but this can be changed by using the css selector .ol-scale-line.

Methods

bindTo(key, target, opt_targetKey){ol.ObjectAccessor} inherited experimental

The bindTo method allows you to set up a two-way binding between a source and target object. The method returns an object with a transform method that you can use to provide from and to functions to transform values on the way from the source to the target and on the way back.

For example, if you had two map views (sourceView and targetView) and you wanted the target view to have double the resolution of the source view, you could transform the resolution on the way to and from the target with the following:

sourceView.bindTo('resolution', targetView)
  .transform(
    function(sourceResolution) {
      // from sourceView.resolution to targetView.resolution
      return 2 * sourceResolution;
    },
    function(targetResolution) {
      // from targetView.resolution to sourceView.resolution
      return targetResolution / 2;
    }
  );
