Vector Layer

This tutorial demonstrates how to create and work with vector layers in your mapping application. Vector layers allow you to display and manage geographic features such as points, lines, and polygons, providing the foundation for visualizing spatial data on your maps.

You'll learn how to:

• Create different types of geometries (points, lines, polygons, polygons with holes, multipolygons)
• Convert geometries into map features
• Add multiple features to a vector layer
• Load vector data from external GeoJSON files
• Add vector layers to the map's overlay manager

Vector layers are essential building blocks for interactive mapping applications, allowing you to represent real-world geographic entities and create custom visualizations. This capability enables you to display your own spatial data, create interactive features, and build maps that effectively communicate geographic information.
