Hot can I get Circle geometry when using ol.interaction.Draw?

Question

I'm drawing a Circle using ol.interaction.Draw.

this.draw = new ol.interaction.Draw({
    source: this.vectorSource,
    type: 'Circle'
});

this.draw.on('drawend', function( evt ){
    // evt.feature have no geometry !!!
}

But How can I get the Circle geometry or anything that tell me how to draw same circle again?

OL3.0 you can create/edit Features, but not Circles... http://openlayers.org/en/v3.0.0/examples/draw-and-modify-features.html

OL3.5 you can create circles, but you can't edit .... http://openlayers.org/en/v3.5.0/examples/draw-features.html

OL_Latest you can't edit circles too: http://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/draw-and-modify-features.html

I would be happy if I could reproduce the same circle later.

Answer 1

To get the center and radius of the circle feature drawn use the below code

this.draw.on('drawend', function( evt ){
    var geometry = evt.feature.getGeometry();
    var radius = geometry.getRadius();
    var center = geometry.getCenter();
    // .... your code
});

Since a circle is drawn the Geometry type would be of type ol.geom.Circle. Using this Geometry object you can get the radius and center using getRadius() and getCenter() method. For more information about ol.geom.Circle go through this link.

Answer 2

Almost there!

I'm now able to reproduce the "circle" by adding a geometry function to the draw intaraction.

var geometryFunction = ol.interaction.Draw.createRegularPolygon(90);

    this.draw = new ol.interaction.Draw({
        source: this.vectorSource,
        type: 'Circle',
        geometryFunction: geometryFunction,
    });

this will generate geometries to the feature so I can store it and load it again later, but it is not a real circle, it is just composed by a 90 points polygon. so I can't edit it as a circle.

Some idea to get the radius of this geometry?

The Polygon's centroid can be the circle center I think.... the distance of this centroid to any point in the border can be the radius.... I don't know how to get this using JS.

To take the center:

this.draw.on('drawend', function( evt ){
    var aa = evt.feature.getGeometry().getExtent();
    var oo = ol.extent.getCenter(aa);
    console.log( oo );
});

Now I must find a way to take the radius.
