Is it possible to rotate a marker?

[Fernando-Checa]

Describe your problem

In case os markers with text for example.
I can use yaw and pitch to create a marker but I'd like to rotate it in place to align text with the space for example.

try this on the marker's properties

style: {
    rotate: '45deg'
}

[Fernando-Checa]

Is not working.
Inspecting the docs I can see it does not work for imageLayer type.

CSS properties to set on the marker (background, border, etc.) (ignored for imagerLayer, videoLayer)

[mistic100]

Well you said you used text makers not imageLayer...

There is the orientation option you can try, but is hardcoded values to make it appear on the floor or a wall, the angle is not confgurable.

[Fernando-Checa]

Yes sorry, I did not express it correctly.
I use text but in an image.. something like this:

Why imageLayer can't be rotated like the others?

orientation is not good here because I need to rotate while horizontal

[mistic100]

Why ? Because it is no coded.

Please to a mockup of the desired orientation, so I know exactly what you want.

[Fernando-Checa]

Sorry, I didn't realize that it was a possibility.. I thought more of a technical reason.
Here is what I'd like to be able to do:

For example, having a pointing marker, be able to rotate it to point in a certain way. Maybe good for stairs, elevators...
The logo with text marker would be better if aligned to the grid of the tiles for example.

If I can help with anything just let me know

For the future 5.7.1 version

rotation

• type: string | number

Rotation applied to the marker, in degrees or radians.

(This option is ignored for polygons and polylines).

Thanks. Great news.

@PanierAvide this could be useful for #1163
You would still have to dynamically place the markers for them to be always visible.

Or as a baseline for a custom renderer like the ArrowsRenderer

This feature/bug fix has been released in version 5.7.1.

[Fernando-Checa]

When using a marker that is not square in dimensions, if you rotate the marker it does not retain the proportions.
It seems like the proportion stays the same and the image rotates, distorting the result.

rotation 0deg

rotati

on 90deg

I don't know if this is a limitation of the system or just something to be fixed.

Thanks in advance
