Leaflet.windbarb

A small Leaflet plugin to generate wind barbs / wind arrows

Leaflet.idw generates wind barbs according to the wind barb standard shown [here] (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wind_speed).

Requirements

This plugin needs Leaflet version v1.0.0beta2 or above.

Demos

• Example (Mobile: Working on Samsung Galaxy s4)

Examples

Example of changed colour (Kudos Rickyars):

Basic Usage

var icon = L.WindBarb.icon({lat: 40, deg: 90, speed: 20, pointRadius: 5, strokeLength: 20});
var marker = L.marker([lat,long], {icon: icon}).addTo(map);

Example of how to mirror velocity indication on southern hemisphere

            if(latitude<0){
              var icon = L.WindBarb.icon({mirrorVel: true, deg: p[3], speed: p[2]});  
            }else{
              var icon = L.WindBarb.icon({lat: p[0], deg: p[3], speed: p[2]});
            }

• The lat is used to see if point is on north or south hemisphere

To include the plugin, just use leaflet-windbarb.js from the src folder:

<script src="leaflet-windbarb.js"></script>
