Re: [Gwt-openlayers-users] Why are the default's different in OL and GWT-OL?

[Edwin C. <com...@gm...>]

Hi Andrew,

Are you referring to the PanZoom control and alike that are put by
default on the map by OpenLayers? The defaults in GWT-OL should be the
same as in OL, so please report it when you find differences. In the
GWT-OL examples the default controls are removed from the map with
mapOptions.removeDefaultControls(). If you do not call
removeDefaultControls on the mapOptions passed to the map then the
default controls should appear.

The reason to have the removeDefaultControls option ar because
a) In GWT-OL it is not as easy as in Javascript to remove these
default controls from the map.
b) Some default controls appear not to be used much in practice. For
instance, for PanZoom people often use the PanZoomBar in applications,
but it is not clear from the OL documentation that both will be added
if you add PanZoomBar. Also, controls that are not visible, but set by
default, such as the Attribution control, you probably want to put on
the map when you need them.

Greetings,
Edwin
