Edit an Existing Shape
Note
Bing Maps Web Control SDK retirement
Bing Maps Web Control SDK is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Web Control SDK until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps Web Control SDK until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps Web Control SDK will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Web SDK by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type. For detailed migration guidance, see Migrate from Bing Maps Web Control SDK and Migrate Bing Maps Enterprise applications to Azure Maps with GitHub Copilot.
Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.
This example shows how to take an existing polygon and enable editing on it.

function GetMap() {
var map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map('#myMap', {});
//Create a random polygon.
var polygon = Microsoft.Maps.TestDataGenerator.getPolygons(1, map.getBounds());
//Load the DrawingTools module.
Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.DrawingTools', function () {
//Create an instance of the DrawingTools class and bind it to the map.
var tools = new Microsoft.Maps.DrawingTools(map);
//Pass the polygon to the drawing tools to be edited.
tools.edit(polygon);
});

Running this code in a browser will display a map with polygon on it. The vertices and edges of the polygon will have little handles on them so you can drag them to edit the shape of the polygon.
