vector features should get default style

[tschaub]

creating a feature with

f = new OpenLayers.Feature.Vector(geometry);

should give you a feature with the default style.

give new vector features default style

ok, that was a hasty patch - I see that layer.addFeature expects features to have null style - have to think about that...

[sderle]

yeah, this conflicts with r2949, which was applied to close #543

which feature do we want more? or can we have both?

[crschmidt]

I don't think we need feature to have a default style. Do we? It doesn't matter what a feature looks like until we draw it -- the user can always set it explicitly if they care, no?

probably the way to fix this is for layers to have a default style if none is assigned, and for it to be used on a feature when the feature is added and no style is assigned to it either

This is the way that it works, essentially. If a feature is added to a layer, it:

• Checks if feature has a style. If it doesn't:
• Checks if layer has a style. If it doesn't:
• falls back to feature.vector.style.default

if that's the case, then I'm going to close this ticket as worksforme. sorry, Tim! hope that's OK
