L.Control

Control

L.Control is a base class for implementing map controls. Handles positioning. All other controls extend from this class.

Option	Type	Default	Description
`position`	`String`	`'topright'`	The position of the control (one of the map corners). Possible values are `'topleft'`, `'topright'`, `'bottomleft'` or `'bottomright'`

Classes extending L.Control will inherit the following methods:

Method	Returns	Description
`getPosition()`	`string`	Returns the position of the control.
`setPosition(<string> position)`	`this`	Sets the position of the control.
`getContainer()`	`HTMLElement`	Returns the HTMLElement that contains the control.
`addTo(<Map> map)`	`this`	Adds the control to the given map.
`remove()`	`this`	Removes the control from the map it is currently active on.

Every control should extend from L.Control and (re-)implement the following methods.

Method	Returns	Description
`onAdd(<Map> map)`	`HTMLElement`	Should return the container DOM element for the control and add listeners on relevant map events. Called on `control.addTo(map)`.
`onRemove(<Map> map)`		Optional method. Should contain all clean up code that removes the listeners previously added in `onAdd`. Called on `control.remove()`.
