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.

Note

This widget can’t be drawn with the drawWidget(s) template(s). Instead, it must be added to the GeoExtToolbar widget using its __featurepanel__ widget tag value.
