Mapstraction - Jun 2012 - Setting polyline options in Leaflet and OpenLayers

I''m trying to use Mapstraction to bridge the gap between Google Maps
v3,
Leaflet, and OpenLayers. Right now, I''m looking at the Polyline.addData
method. If I call

Polyline.addData({''opacity'': 1.0})

then Google Maps will correctly fill in the polygon, but OpenLayers and
Leaflet will not. Where do we actually translate the options passed in? I
see that the addData method just calls setOpacity in this case, and all
that does is call this.opacity = opacity.

Is that all the the code does for this? If that is the case, then there
should be a place where we translate these options. I know that the opacity
settings are named differently for these three libraries and are not
located in the same place in the object structure.

If was going to add support for setting opacity, would I case on the API in
the setOpacity method in mxn.core? Or would I edit the applyOptions
functions in the respective module provider JS files?

Thanks,
Dylan

So, I spent more time looking through the source code. Given the current
setup, that you should call addData as normal and it would simply set
this.opacity. Then, to update the polygon on the map you would have a
function in the Mapstraction object that updates the polygon styles.

The issue is that polygons don''t have access to their API, and if
Mapstraction objects are the only objects to contain information about
their own API, then toggling some global API switch would not work, and
thus polygons don''t have anywhere to look for their API data.

So, on Mapstraction, you could have a method to update all Polylines, and
it would read the API independent Polyline styling and then set the API
specific styling. This might be slow if you have a lot of polygons,
however, and I haven''t given much thought about how to combat that.
