# Qt Location Items Overlay Plugin

## Overview

This geo services plugin is a special plugin providing only an empty map. This plugin provides no services, and is intended to be used in those cases where a Map element should only show the added map items.

The Items Overlay geo services plugin can be loaded by using the plugin key "itemsoverlay".

## Example usage

The following snippet shows how a Map using this plugin can be added as an overlay to display anti-aliased map items. Note that for such an overlay Map to be transparent, it is also necessary to set its color to a transparent one, such as transparent, like in the example.

      Window {
          id: win
          visible: true
          width: 640
          height: 640

          Map {
              id: mapBase
              gesture.enabled: true
              anchors.fill: parent
              plugin: Plugin { name: "osm" }
              center: QtPositioning.coordinate(45,10)
              zoomLevel: 4
              z: parent.z + 1
          }

          Map {
              id: mapOverlay
              anchors.fill: parent
              plugin: Plugin { name: "itemsoverlay" }
              gesture.enabled: false
              center: mapBase.center
              color: 'transparent' // Necessary to make this map transparent
              minimumFieldOfView: mapBase.minimumFieldOfView
              maximumFieldOfView: mapBase.maximumFieldOfView
              minimumTilt: mapBase.minimumTilt
              maximumTilt: mapBase.maximumTilt
              minimumZoomLevel: mapBase.minimumZoomLevel
              maximumZoomLevel: mapBase.maximumZoomLevel
              zoomLevel: mapBase.zoomLevel
              tilt: mapBase.tilt;
              bearing: mapBase.bearing
              fieldOfView: mapBase.fieldOfView
              z: mapBase.z + 1

              MapCircle {
                  id: circle
                  center: QtPositioning.coordinate(44, 10)
                  radius: 200000
                  border.width: 5

                  MouseArea {
                      anchors.fill: parent
                      drag.target: parent
                  }
              }

              // The code below enables SSAA
              layer.enabled: true
              layer.smooth: true
              property int w : mapOverlay.width
              property int h : mapOverlay.height
              property int pr: Screen.devicePixelRatio
              layer.textureSize: Qt.size(w  * 2 * pr, h * 2 * pr)
          }
      }
