Starting the draw with a javascript call ?

[flemmens]

Hi,

I am not sure if this could be an improvement suggestion or if this is something already possible:
can we start the drawing process with a javascript call rather than having to click on the toolbar ?

Something like myDrawControl.startdraw('polygon') ?

Thanks

OK, if found a way to do it:
$('.leaflet-draw-draw-circle')[0].click();

However this is not an elegant solution as it requires to have the toolbar in the DOM.

@flp-gpc - Going of a button event (e) there is the following.. You will have to tweak the code a bit to your needs though.

        toggleDrawn: function(e) {
            var shapeParameters = {
                shapeOptions: {
                    color: '#FF6633',
                    dashArray: '5',
                    clickable: false,
                    pointerEvents: 'none'
                }
            };
            currentDrawer = null;
                if (e.currentTarget.value == 'rectangle') {
                   currentDrawer = new L.Draw.Rectangle(map, shapeParameters);
                   currentDrawer.enable();
                } else if (e.currentTarget.value == 'polygon') {
                   clearCurrentDrawing();
                   currentDrawer = new L.Draw.Polygon(map, shapeParameters);
                    currentDrawer.enable();
                }
        },
