[GIS] Is it possible to show migration arrows on Leaflet map

javascriptleafletweb-mapping

I need to develop Leaflet map which will show the whole world. Also, I need to draw some arrows which will show paths of migrations in the world. The important thing to say that those arrows need to be curved. Do you have some advice how can that be shown on the map in Leaflet API?

My ideas:
Is it possible to show some direction arrows with RaphaelJS? I see that Leaflet has Raphael plugin so we can add Raphael object on the map.
Is it possible to draw a polygon which will be arrow shape and overlay it on the map?

Best Answer

Much easier just to draw them in a GIS system and then add them as a layer to the map. Raphael would work, but it seems like the long way around.

Also any curve is really just made up of a series of straight lines so you could likely achieve the required effect using Leaflet.
