Angular Google Maps provides a package that allows users to draw new shapes on the map, integrating google.maps.drawing.DrawingManager

Install the needed packages

First make sure that you install the following NPM packages:

npm install @agm/core @agm/drawing

Loading the modules

Update your root component (e.g. src/app/app.module.ts) and import the following modules:

import { AgmCoreModule } from '@agm/core';
import { AgmDrawingModule } from '@agm/drawing';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AgmCoreModule.forRoot({
      apiKey: ['YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'],
      libraries: ['drawing']
    }),
    AgmDrawingModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Using the directive

When you import the AgmDrawingManager, you can use the agm-drawing-manager directive in your template. Agm-drawing-manager takes form of an html elements outside the agm-map component, where it is configured with properties. It is connected to the map via agmDrawingManager trigger directive, similar to MatAutocomplete from angular/components library.

<agm-map style="height: 300px" [latitude]="51.673858" [longitude]="7.815982" [agmDrawingManager]="drawing">
</agm-map>
<agm-drawing-manager #drawing="agmDrawingManager" (circleComplete)="circleAdded($event)" [drawingMode]="'circle'" [circleOptions]="{fillColor:'red', radius: 150}"></agm-drawing-manager>

Customizing drawn figures

If you want to control how the figures the user draws will look like, specifically colors, line thickness, opacity, et cetera, you can provide CircleOptions or PolylineOptions to the drawing manager, similar how you would do in vanilla javascript with Google Maps javascript.

Ignored properties

These *Options interfaces are originally made for the developer displaying the shapes, so they have properties useless to us such as map and center. These properties are ignored.
