OpenLayers Map Widget

This widget allows users to select rectangles, vertical lines, horizontal lines and points on the map. It reports back when the selection changes and can be queried for the current state of the selection.

We use it in the National Virtual Ocean Data Server and as a part of the Live Access Server (an open source tool for web-based display and analysis of earth science data).
