EditFeature_Create

Widget that enables the possibility to draw new features on vector layers on the map. Since the new features drawn are directly linked to a Resource, you must specify the kind of geometry available to draw.

This widget can’t be drawn with the drawWidget template. Instead, it must be added to the GeoExtToolbar widget.
