zIndex

[Mackiavelly]

The best option is to specify zIndex of the entire ruler when defining, like this:

measureTool = new MeasureTool(map, {
        //contextMenu: false,
        showSegmentLength: true,
        tooltip: false,
        unit: MeasureTool.UnitTypeId.METRIC,
        zIndex: 100,
});

Is this an existing issue? Could you explain it?

[Mackiavelly]

I have a map with a huge number of objects and very often objects are superimposed one over another, so that they are beautifully displayed I assign to my objects zIndex (10,20,30, etc.), your ruler always gets zIndex 1 and hence the vertices, the line itself, it turns out under my objects as a result of which the data is simply not visible.

It was great if the ruler was always displayed on top of all objects, but since people can specify any zIndex, it would be super if you could specify a global zIndex for your ruler.

its enhancement, new feature

[zhenyanghua]

This is a legit suggestion as Google Maps Polygon class has similar options. There are also complications in implementing this feature in this project because the svg elements doesn't work with html elements with z-index. I am open to ideas.

Wish it can be improved :). However, some work around by the user is that click on somewhere where there is no object then drag it to the starting point of measurement. Then click on somewhere again not overlapping object and drag it to the ending point of measurement. Then we will have the measurement on top of user's object such as big circle.
