Description

Description

The PolygonAnnotation class in the mapbox_maps_flutter package currently lacks options for configuring the outline (stroke) of polygon annotations. This limitation restricts developers' ability to customize and enhance the visualization of polygons, as the existing implementation only supports filling the polygons without any options for the outline.

Using polylines to simulate polygon borders is not an ideal or efficient solution.

Feature Request

Please add support for outline preferences in the PolygonAnnotationOptions, such as:

  • Outline color
  • Outline width
  • Outline pattern
Example
PolygonAnnotationOptions polygonAnnotationOptions = PolygonAnnotationOptions(
  geometry: polygon,
  fillColor: "#FF0000",
  fillOpacity: 0.5,
  // Proposed properties
  outlineColor: "#000000",
  outlineWidth: 2.0,
  outlinePattern: [2, 4] // Dash pattern: 2px line, 4px gap
);
