Usage

For example, show path orientation on mouse over :

    var layer = L.polyLine(...);

    layer.on('mouseover', function () {
        this.setText('  ►  ', {repeat: true, attributes: {fill: 'red'}});
    });

    layer.on('mouseout', function () {
        this.setText(null);
    });

Options

• repeat Specifies if the text should be repeated along the polyline (Default: false)
• center Centers the text according to the polyline's bounding box (Default: false)
• attributes Object containing the attributes applied to the text tag. Check valid attributes here (Default: {})
