DESCRIPTION

Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable is a Perl object oriented interface that allows for the creation of XML documents that can be used with Google Earth.

Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable is a Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable::Folder with a render method.

USAGE

This is all of the code you need to generate a complete Google Earth document.

use Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable;
my $document=Geo::GoogleEarth::Pluggable->new;
$document->Placemark(address=>"1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC");
print $document->render;

render

Returns an XML document with an XML declaration and a root name of "Document"

print $document->render;

archive

Returns a KMZ formatted Zipped archive of the XML document

print $document->archive;

Style

Constructs a new Style object and appends it to the document object. Returns the object reference.

my $style=$document->Style(id=>"myicon1",
               iconHref=>"http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/paddle/L.png");

TODO

Support for default Polygon and Line styles that are nicer than GoogleEarth's
Support for DateTime object in the constructor that is promoted to the LookAt object.
