Exporting KML files

> > > > > >

You can export part of a map to a KML (or KMZ) file using the Map Export API (see Map Export API). To do so, set an IlvKMLExporter as the vectorial exporter on the IlvMapExportManager. You can also use the raster exporter, if you want to export an overlaid image.

If you set a KML file name, all images used inside that file are saved at the same location, with names such as image0.png.

If you set a file name that ends with .kmz , all the files are compressed into a single kmz file:

IlvMapExportManager exportManager = new IlvMapExportManager();
IlvKMLExporter KMLExporter = new IlvKMLExporter();
exportManager.setVectorialExporter(KMLExporter);
exportManager.setRasterExporter(KMLExporter);

// Configure KML export (file name).
KMLExporter.setFileName("export.kml");

// Set the region of the map to export.
exportManager.setExportRegion(-Math.PI,-Math.PI/2, Math.PI,Math.PI/2);
 
// Export selected map layers of the map.
IlvMapLayer mapLayersToExport[]={/* table of map layers to export*/...};
exportManager.exportMapLayers(mapLayersToExport);
