I\'m drawing an area on Google Maps using the Geometry API. I want to know if it is possible to draw a repeating element onto an area that is dynamic in size?
For exampl

Sorry for keeping you wait.
Ok, the new code is below.
You can specify the small box size at var boxSize = new google.maps.Size(10, 20);

var mapCanvas, boxes = new google.maps.MVCArray();
function initialize() {
var mapDiv = document.getElementById("map_canvas");
mapCanvas = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, {
center : new google.maps.LatLng(37.422191,-122.084585),
mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE,
zoom : 19,
tilt : 0
});
//Encoded path
var encodedPath = "eblcFnuchVv@D@q@P?a@eD]AC~@b@DCz@a@A";
var points = google.maps.geometry.encoding.decodePath(encodedPath);
//Draw a polygon
var polygonOpts = {
paths : points,

var poly = new google.maps.Polygon(polygonOpts);
var proc = function() {
onPolygonComplete(poly);
};
google.maps.event.addListener(mapCanvas, "projection_changed", proc);
google.maps.event.addListener(poly.getPath(), 'insert_at', proc);
google.maps.event.addListener(poly.getPath(), 'remove_at', proc);
google.maps.event.addListener(poly.getPath(), 'set_at', proc);
}
function onDrawMgr_complete(polygon) {
var path = polygon.getPath();
console.log(google.maps.geometry.encoding.encodePath(path));
}
function onPolygonComplete(polygon) {
var bounds, paths, sw, ne, ystep, xstep, boxH, boxW, posArry, flag, pos, x, y, i, box;
//Delete old boxes.
boxes.forEach(function(box, i) {

paths.forEach(function(latlng, i) {

var projection = mapCanvas.getProjection();
var zoom = mapCanvas.getZoom();
var powBase = Math.pow(2, zoom);
//Calculate the small box size.
sw = bounds.getSouthWest();
ne = bounds.getNorthEast();
var swPoint = projection.fromLatLngToPoint(sw);
var nePoint = projection.fromLatLngToPoint(ne);
var boxSize = new google.maps.Size(10, 20); //in pixels.
boxSize.width /= powBase;
boxSize.height /= powBase;
var maxX = Math.floor(Math.abs((swPoint.x - nePoint.x)) / boxSize.width);
var maxY = Math.floor(Math.abs((swPoint.y - nePoint.y)) / boxSize.height);
for ( y = 0; y < maxY; y++) {
for (x = 0; x < maxX; x++) {
//Detect that polygon is able to contain a small box.
bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
posArry = [];
posArry.push(new google.maps.Point(swPoint.x + boxSize.width * x, swPoint.y - boxSize.height * y));
posArry.push(new google.maps.Point(swPoint.x + boxSize.width * x, swPoint.y - boxSize.height * (y + 1)));
posArry.push(new google.maps.Point(swPoint.x + boxSize.width * (x + 1), swPoint.y - boxSize.height * y));

if (flag) {
flag = google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation(pos, polygon);
bounds.extend(pos);
}
}
if (flag) {
box = new google.maps.Rectangle({
bounds : bounds,
map : mapCanvas,
strokeColor : 'green',
strokeOpacity : 1,
strokeWeight : 1,
fillColor : 'yellow',
fillOpacity : 0.5,
clickable : false
});
boxes.push(box);
}
}
}
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize);

Although I didn't use canvas, how about this code?
function onPolygonComplete(polygon) {
var bounds, paths, sw, ne, ystep, xstep,
boxH, boxW, posArry, flag, pos,
x, y, i, box, maxBoxCnt;
//Delete old boxes.
boxes.forEach(function(box, i) {
box.setMap(null);
delete box;
});
//Calculate the bounds that contains entire polygon.
bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
paths = polygon.getPath();
paths.forEach(function(latlng, i){
bounds.extend(latlng);
});
//Calculate the small box size.
maxBoxCnt = 8;
sw = bounds.getSouthWest();
ne = bounds.getNorthEast();
ystep = Math.abs(sw.lat() - ne.lat()) / maxBoxCnt;
boxH = Math.abs(sw.lat() - ne.lat()) / (maxBoxCnt + 1);
xstep = Math.abs(sw.lng() - ne.lng()) / maxBoxCnt;
boxW = Math.abs(sw.lng() - ne.lng()) / (maxBoxCnt + 1);
for (y = 0; y < maxBoxCnt; y++) {
for (x = 0; x < maxBoxCnt; x++) {
//Detect that polygon is able to contain a small box.
bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
posArry = [];
posArry.push(new google.maps.LatLng(sw.lat() + ystep * y, sw.lng() + xstep * x));
posArry.push(new google.maps.LatLng(sw.lat() + ystep * y, sw.lng() + xstep * x + boxW));
posArry.push(new google.maps.LatLng(sw.lat() + ystep * y + boxH, sw.lng() + xstep * x));
posArry.push(new google.maps.LatLng(sw.lat() + ystep * y + boxH, sw.lng() + xstep * x + boxW));
flag = true;
for (i = 0; i < posArry.length; i++) {
pos = posArry[i];
if (flag) {
flag = google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation(pos, polygon);
bounds.extend(pos);
}
}
//Draw a small box.
if (flag) {
box = new google.maps.Rectangle({
bounds : bounds,
map : mapCanvas,
strokeColor: '#00ffff',
strokeOpacity: 0.5,
strokeWeight: 1,
fillColor: '#00ffff',
fillOpacity : 0.5,
clickable: false
});
boxes.push(box);
}
}
}
}
This code works like this image.
I wrote a page that explains the code. http://googlemaps.googlermania.com/google_maps_api_v3/en/poly_containsLocation.html
