Hi I am building an angular app. As a part of it, i have to create network dashboards showing connections between two devices. For example if you see the below picture. enter image description here

There is a dotted line connecting two points . I want to create something like this, my background image will be different but I want to display the pins and make a line between them. What libraries/packages can I use to achieve this.

I am a beginner with front end development and creating this to visualize my network.

Try Google Maps?

Although, personally, I prefer Open Street Maps, which is free & open source.

Leaflet is a greta wrapper.

Start at How To Use Leaflet In Angular Web Apps and look at the linked posts.

I found it very easy to do what you ask. Just place two markers and connect them with a polyline (don't ask me how; none of our sites will write code for you; but, if you get stuck, post you code to https://stackoverflow.com/).

    Hi @Mawg , thanks for the suggestion. But as I specified in the question, I will have a background image on which I wish to place two markers and connect them. The background image is not maps, its a static image. – cvg Jul 23 '19 at 13:19
  • Sorry, that was stupid of me :-( So, you want to draw a line between two sets of x-y coordinates on an image ? – Mawg says reinstate Monica Jul 23 '19 at 13:42
  • yes, curved dotted lines, like the ones shown in the image – cvg Jul 23 '19 at 14:17
  • Sounds trivial. Good luck – Mawg says reinstate Monica Jul 23 '19 at 15:30
