panning howto

[pedrokost]

Not an issue, more a request for help.

With leaflet it is possible to pan the map by a specific amount of pixels like this:

map.panBy([200 0]);

What I want to achieve is to zoom and pan to a marker locations, but also offset the final location by 200pixels. The panning and zooming is done auto-magically by binding to the controllers' zoom and center properties.

How would I achieve the panning? I tried to add the following method to my MapView:

  panMap: function(){
    var that = this;
    window.map = this;  // this is just for testing

    Ember.run.later(function(){
      that._layer.panBy([200, 0]);  // FIXME: nothing happens
    }, 1000);
  }.observes('center'),

but the panning does not work.

Note that I am able to pan the map by later calling:

window.map._layer.panBy([200, 0])

from the console.

Any tips are appreciated!
