Map24 Digitizers
Introduction
The Map24 MRC Digitizers allow you to define a customized behavior for map objects such as Map24 Locations, Map24 Polygons, and so on.
There are three categories of digitizers:
- The Map24 Click Digitizer can be used to call a URL whenever the user clicks anywhere on the map.
- The Map24 Location Digitizer allows to create a Map24 Location with customized behavior. For example, you can define a URL that changes the location's position with a drag & drop action, or opens a menu with actions that can be performed on the location. It is also possible to change the location's icon, display the location's coordinate or call a URL.
- Finally, there are several digitizers that allow the user to draw or modify a map object such as a polygon, polyline, or oval on the map. To this category belongs the Map24 Polygon Digitizer, the Map24 Oval Digitizer, the Map24 Polyline Digitizer, and so on. For example, the Map24 Polygon Digitizer allows a user to draw a polygon on the map with the mouse. There are also digitizers for special shapes such as rectangles and circles. Note that there are two new digitizers: The Map24 Shaper provides a very intuitive way to create a polygon, polyline, or oval on the map. The Map24 Transformer allows to perform affine transformations such as translation, scaling, and rotation on map objects.
The digitizers are created when declaring a map object. You can define a digitizer for a map object by setting the Customize field of the command. The Customize field is of type MapObjectCustomSettings.
The actions performed on a map object are sent to the Map24 Web Services and stored in the Map24 Session. It is possible to retrieve information on the current state of a customized location with a getMapletSession request.

The structure of the MapObjectCustomSettings element is described here.
