Drawing and Editing Shapes in MAUI
Last month, we unveiled the beta version of ThinkGeo Mobile for .NET MAUI. Since that announcement, we've made significant strides toward our full release, set for May 1st. This week, we've enhanced our MAUI samples by incorporating several new features, including advanced labeling and capabilities for drawing and editing features.
Drawing and Editing Features
To see how to draw and edit shapes in MAUI, just pull the develop branch of the ‘HowDoI’ samples from our Gitlab repo. The samples can be ran on Windows in Visual Studio or on a Mac using Rider.
Once you have the samples set up, you have the option to run the application on the desktop (windows or mac), or mobile with an Android or iOS emulator. The video to the right shows adding and editing shapes in an Android emulator.
While you’re reviewing the ‘Edit Features’ sample, make sure to take a look at the ‘Edit Features With Snapping’ sample as well. This demonstrates how to edit a shape when you need it to ‘snap’ to predefined points on the map. To go into more details on how vertex snapping works, you can check out this post.
