L.Control.BoxZoom

A Leaflet control to do a box zoom.

Not everyone knows about holding down Shift, and prefer to have a visible, clickable button to do box zooms.

Live demo: http://gregallensworth.github.io/L.Control.BoxZoom/

Installation and Example

For the impatient, copy-and-paste out of the working example, index.html

The dist/ folder contains the essentials: a JS file, a CSS file, and a single SVG icon.

Simply include the JS and CSS as usual:

<script src="dist/leaflet-control-boxzoom.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/leaflet-control-boxzoom.css" />

Then add the Control to your map:

L.Control.boxzoom({ position:'topleft' }).addTo(map);

Options

• divClasses Add classes to the div that holds the Leaflet control.
• enableShiftDrag Enable the original functionality of Leaflet's shift-drag box zoom, in addition to the button.
• iconClasses Any valid classes for an icon element. Used for easily adding a custom icon to the button.
• iconColor Use to set the color of the custom icon. Accepts anything valid for a standard CSS color value, e.g. "black", "#000000", etc. Defaults to "black".
• keepOn Boolean. Controls whether the zoombox state ends when drawing a zoom, or whether it's kept on. Defaults to false.
• position Any of the usual position flags for a L.Control subclass: topright, topleft, and so on.
• title A string to give information to user.
