I want to draw a line between two coordinates in OpenLayers (OL) 4. I have been looking for documentations on The Internet but most of them only for OL 2 (example1 , example2) or 3 (example3).
I took the example from the OL website and add my own code. In this case I am using LineString:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href=".6.4/ol.css" type="text/css">
<style>
.map {
height: 400px;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<script src=".6.4/ol.js"/>
<title>OpenLayers example</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>My Map</h2>
<div id="map" class="map"/>
<script type="text/javascript">
var map = new ol.Map({
target: 'map',
layers: [
new ol.layer.Tile({
source: new ol.source.OSM()
})
],
view: new ol.View({
center: ol.proj.fromLonLat([37.41, 8.82]),
zoom: 5
})
});
//example coordinates
var lonlat = [33.8, 8.4];
var location2 = [37.5, 8.0];
//create the line's style
var linieStyle = [
// linestring
new ol.style.Style({
stroke: new ol.style.Stroke({
color: '#d12710',
width: 2
})
})
];
//create the line
var linie = new ol.layer.Vector({
source: new ol.source.Vector({
features: [new ol.Feature({
geometry: new ol.geom.LineString(lonlat, location2),
name: 'Line',
})]
})
});
//set the style and add to layer
linie.setStyle(linieStyle);
map.addLayer(linie);
</script>
</body>
</html>
However, the line does not appear on the map. This is my JS Fiddle. What's missing on my code?

Reset to default 6You need to convert your coordinates using ol.proj.fromLonLat
var lonlat = ol.proj.fromLonLat([33.8, 8.4]);
var location2 = ol.proj.fromLonLat([37.5, 8.0]);
You also need to provide new ol.geom.LineString
an array of points
new ol.geom.LineString([lonlat, location2])
You can see my derived example with the fixes based on your Js Fiddle
