Creates a new edit handle.
An event that is emitted whenever this handle changes the shape of a feature.
The EventedSupport used to emit events.
Typically, handles use emitEditShapeEvent to emit "EditShape" events. This is only used in advanced cases, for example when compositing multiple handles.
Emits an "EditShape" event.
Typically, a handle emits this right after changing the shape.
The shape to emit an edit event for
The status of the edit. Typically, this is IN_PROGRESS while the handle is being dragged / changed, and EditShapeStatus.FINISHED when the drag ends.
Returns the mouse cursor to show.
EditController and CreateController will check the active handle's cursor on every onGestureEvent, and update the map's cursor when the returned cursor string changes.
The default implementation always returns null.
the gesture event to determine a cursor for.
the edit context.
a cursor, or null if no mouse cursor should be shown for this handle.
Populates a context menu with entries.
For example, a handle for a point in a polyline might add a "Delete point" context menu entry.
the input event that triggered opening the context menu.

a callback that needs to be called when a menu action is performed. Call this at the end of the ContextMenuItem.action implementation.
This method allows the handle to draw shapes on the map.
For example, a point handle draws an icon at its point using EditHandleStyles.handleIconStyle.
A handle can also draw "helper" shapes. These are shapes that are not interactive, but help the user while editing. For example, the base shape of an extruded shape, draped over terrain. Or lines showing how a point can move.
For consistency with built-in handles, it's recommended to draw helper shapes using EditHandleStyles.helperStyle and icons using EditHandleStyles.handleIconStyle.
The default implementation draws nothing.
The GeoCanvas to draw on.
The editing context.
This method allows the handle to draw labels on the map.
For example, you can use this to show coordinates of points, or the current radius of a circle on top of an edit handle.
The default implementation draws nothing.
The label canvas to draw labels on
The editing context.
Handles the given input event, for the given context.
The editing handle can modify the feature (or its shape) based on the type and state of the input event. For example, a drag event that moves a circle.
The default implementation ignores the event.
the gesture event.
the edit context.
Called when (another) handle changes the feature or shape, as indicated by the "EditShape" event.
This handle can update its own state, based on the changed shape.
For example, a PointListInsertHandle just inserted a point in a polyline. The PointListTranslateHandle uses the update to recalculate new sub-handles, based on the new polyline (with the extra point).
The default implementation does nothing.
An edit handle manipulates a feature or some part of that feature, usually its shape, based on input from the user.
Edit handles are created by an Editor whenever an EditController or CreateController becomes active on the map.
Edit handles generally correspond to the shape of the feature being edited. For example, to edit a four-sided polygon, an Editor creates five handles: four to move each of the individual vertices of the polygon, and a fifth one to move the polygon as a whole.
