Leaflet.ImageOverlay.Rotated

Display rotated and skewed images in your LeafletJS maps.

This LeafletJS plugin adds a new class, L.ImageOverlay.Rotated, subclass of L.ImageOverlay. The main difference is that the position of L.ImageOverlay is defined by a L.LatLngBounds (the L.LatLngs of the top-left and bottom-right corners of the image), whereas L.ImageOverlay.Rotated is defined by three points (the L.LatLngs of the top-left, top-right and bottom-left corners of the image).

The image will be rotated and skewed (as the three corner points might not form a 90-degree angle).

Usage

To instantiate a L.ImageOverlay.Rotated, specify the image URL, the three corner points, and any L.ImageOverlay options in the L.imageOverlay.rotated factory method, for example:

var topleft    = L.latLng(40.52256691873593, -3.7743186950683594),
	topright   = L.latLng(40.5210255066156, -3.7734764814376835),
	bottomleft = L.latLng(40.52180437272552, -3.7768453359603886);

var overlay = L.imageOverlay.rotated("./palacio.jpg", topleft, topright, bottomleft, {
	opacity: 0.4,
	interactive: true,
	attribution: "&copy; <a href='http://www.ign.es'>Instituto Geográfico Nacional de España</a>"
}).addTo(map);

topleft, topright and bottomleft are instances of L.LatLng, corresponding to the locations of the corners of the image. These three L.LatLngs might not neccesarily be at the top or at the left of each other.

Alternatively, the first parameter to the constructor can be an instance of HTMLImage.

Additionally, the reposition method allows to reset the LatLngs for the corner points, effectively moving the image:

overlay.reposition(updatedTopLeft, updatedTopRight, updatedBottomLeft);

Using the code in other projects

The classic way: copy the Leaflet.ImageOverlay.Rotate.js file and include it in your webpage.

npm install leaflet-imageoverlay-rotated can be used to include this project as a dependency. The package.json file will allow webpack/browserify to work its magic.

There is also some support for Bower (in the form of a bower.json file), but Bower is being deprecated, so NPM is preferred.

This plugin has been tested only with Leaflet 1.0.0-beta and 1.0.0-rc1. Don't expect it to work with 0.7.x.

The demo uses an historical building plan dated from 1863, from the archives of the Instituto Geográfico Nacional de España. These images are available under a non-commercial license.
