GOOGLE™ STATIC MAP API PHP LIBRARY

This library eases the creation of static maps by generating the URLs for Google's api.

<?php

use Knp\Google\StaticMapApi as Api;

$map = new Api\Map('nantes', '512x512', 8);

?>

<img src="<?php echo $map ?> />

Using Points and markers

Point type can handle latitude and longitude. They may be used to center maps or to create paths and markers.

$map = new Api\Map(new Api\Point(47.93845, -3.254653), '512x512', 8);

Markers are created using a MarkerCollection instance. Each instance can manage several markers with the same configuration (color, size, label etc.)

$collection = new Api\MarkerCollection();
$collection->color = 'red';
$collection->label = '1';
$collection->size  = Api\MarkerCollection::SIZE_SMALL;
$collection->shadow = false;
$collection->markers = array('nantes', new Api\Point(47.93845, -3.254653));

$map->markers[] = $collection;

Colors

Of course, Google API understands basic colors names like 'blue', 'yellow' etc. but it is possible to pass 0x0f0f0f form colors. A Color class provides a handy way to manage the hexadecimal translation:

$color = new Api\Color(127, 128, 129);

echo $color; // 0x798081

Paths

Map can display paths based on the order of the given points.

$path = new Api\Path;
$path->color = new Api\Color(0, 56, 200);
$path->weght = 10;
$path->points = array(new Api\Point(47.93845, -3.254653), 'nantes', urlencode('rue de strasbourg'));

$map->paths[] = $path;
