Assign stylemap to a individual vector

I want to be able to specify the style of a vector individually. So what I did is this:

vectorLayer.features[1].style = {fillColor: "#8e0303", pointRadius: Math.random() * 50};
vectorLayer.redraw();

I got this from here: http://jsfiddle.net/DR/Udd4e/31/

However, I want to specify a StyleMap instead of a Style

Something like this

var my_style = new OpenLayers.StyleMap({
    "default" : new OpenLayers.Style({
         ...
     }),
    "select":new OpenLayers.Style({
         ...
     }),
)};

And assign that as the style (stylemap) of the vector. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance.

Jenia.

Solution

  • I'm not sure if this can be assigned for individual map objects, but try to think from the other direction: You can specify a mapstyle with more 'intelligence' that picks the style depending on the current map feature and it's attributes. See http://docs.openlayers.org/library/feature_styling.html and have a look e.g. to this webmap conditional styling for example: http://www.opennet-initiative.de/map/
