This example creates a map with a simple polygon which displays information in
response to a click event.

### TypeScript

```typescript
// This example creates a simple polygon representing the Bermuda Triangle.
// When the user clicks on the polygon an info window opens, showing
// information about the polygon's coordinates.

let map: google.maps.Map;

let infoWindow: google.maps.InfoWindow;

function initMap(): void {
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement, {
    zoom: 5,
    center: { lat: 24.886, lng: -70.268 },
    mapTypeId: "terrain",
  });

  // Define the LatLng coordinates for the polygon.
  const triangleCoords: google.maps.LatLngLiteral[] = [
    { lat: 25.774, lng: -80.19 },
    { lat: 18.466, lng: -66.118 },
    { lat: 32.321, lng: -64.757 },
  ];

  // Construct the polygon.
  const bermudaTriangle = new google.maps.Polygon({
    paths: triangleCoords,
    strokeColor: "#FF0000",
    strokeOpacity: 0.8,
    strokeWeight: 3,
    fillColor: "#FF0000",
    fillOpacity: 0.35,
  });

  bermudaTriangle.setMap(map);

  // Add a listener for the click event.
  bermudaTriangle.addListener("click", showArrays);

  infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
}

function showArrays(event: any) {
  // Since this polygon has only one path, we can call getPath() to return the
  // MVCArray of LatLngs.
  // @ts-ignore
  const polygon = this as google.maps.Polygon;
  const vertices = polygon.getPath();

  let contentString =
    "<b>Bermuda Triangle polygon</b><br>" +
    "Clicked location: <br>" +
    event.latLng.lat() +
    "," +
    event.latLng.lng() +
    "<br>";

  // Iterate over the vertices.
  for (let i = 0; i < vertices.getLength(); i++) {
    const xy = vertices.getAt(i);

    contentString +=
      "<br>" + "Coordinate " + i + ":<br>" + xy.lat() + "," + xy.lng();
  }

  // Replace the info window's content and position.
  infoWindow.setContent(contentString);
  infoWindow.setPosition(event.latLng);

  infoWindow.open(map);
}

declare global {
  interface Window {
    initMap: () => void;
  }

window.initMap = initMap;

### CSS

```css
/* 
 * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element
 * that contains the map. 
 */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}

/* 
 * Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. 
 */
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
