How to add a polygon to a static map - Amazon Location Service

Buildings and locations can be highlighted on a map by designating a polygon around them, for example, the Pentagon (located in Washington, D.C.).

Add a single polygon

In this example, you add a polygon (a pentagon) for the Pentagon building on the map.

Add a style polygon

In this example, we restyle the polygon shown in the previous example. We draw the polygon in a different color (#E3F70550). The color components are as follows.

  • E3 represents the red component.

  • F7 represents the green component.

  • 05 represents the blue component.

  • 50 represents the alpha (opacity) component.

Add multiple polygons

In this example, we add multiple polygons, to highlight multiple parks in New York City.
