FeatureHighlighter Class

A class responsible for highlighting points, lines, and shapes on the map upon selection and consequent hover actions. The highlighting is achieved by manipulating svg rendering of the map as follows:

  • all existing feature layers are wrapped into a group object
  • three more group objects are created:
    • highlight group is positioned after the graphicGroup
    • zoomlight group is positioned before the graphicGroup
    • hoverlight group is positioned before the zoomlight group

and changing the opacity of the graphicGroup while adding shapes to one or more of the additional group objects.
