How to convert OpenLayers polygon coordinates into latitude and longitude?
I have setup a basic map to capture a user defined polygon and convert it to GeoJSON, whilst I'm able to do this with its native projection (ESPG:3857) I would like to take the captured GeoJSON and convert it to EPSG:4326 - which I will then save away. Using the above method of capturing the feature on the drawend event and performing a transform however removes the polygon as the new co-ordinates are not represented in the projection of the map any longer. I am unable to figure out how to to save the GeoJSON in the format I need without deleting the existing polygon
I have tried performing this by using getFeatures on the vector source of the polygon and then performing a transform from the projection i'm using to the projection I want, but this still returns the same coords, I have also (like the linked article) tried using the the writeFeatureObject but it still saves incorrectly
https://jsfiddle.net/20gxo3nt/
dragBox.on('drawend', function(evt){
/* geom = evt.feature.getGeometry().transform('EPSG:3857', 'EPSG:4326');
console.log(geom.getCoordinates()); */
});
$( "#save" ).click(function() {
var geom=vectorSource.getFeatures();
console.log(geom);
var writer=new ol.format.GeoJSON();
var geoJsonStr = writer.writeFeatures(geom);
console.log (geom.proj.transform('EPSG:3857', 'EPSG:4326'));
/* console.log(geoJsonStr) */
});
Uncommenting the code on the drawend event will correctly console.log the co-ordinates,as well as demonstrate polygon disappearing
To get a new geojson
var geom = [];
vectorSource.forEachFeature( function(feature) { geom.push(new ol.Feature(feature.getGeometry().clone().transform('EPSG:3857', 'EPSG:4326'))); } );
var writer = new ol.format.GeoJSON();
var geoJsonStr = writer.writeFeatures(geom);
console.log(geoJsonStr);
