The `DrawingManager`'s drawing mode defines the type of overlay that will be created by the user. Adds a control to the map, allowing the user to switch drawing mode. ```javascript const {DrawingManager} = await google.maps.importLibrary("drawing"); ``` | ### Constructor || |---|---| | ### Methods || |---|---| ## [OverlayType](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference/drawing.md.txt#OverlayType) constants constants `google.maps.drawing.OverlayType` library `"drawing"` The types of overlay that may be created by the `DrawingManager`.
