+| lassos | lasso[]? | Allows configuring lasso options. The lasso function allows free-hand drawing a geometry on the map; features completely fitting into that geometry will be copied up to the draw layer from all configured layers. 💡 Please mind that the lasso function currently has no UI in the client, and the functionality must be triggered externally. |

 | measureOptions | measureOptions? | If set, an additional radio is being shown to the user to be able to let the (then) drawn features display their length and / or area. See [draw.measureOptions](#drawmeasureoptions) for further information. Not shown by default. |
 | selectableDrawModes | string[]? | List 'Point', 'LineString', 'Circle', 'Text' and/or 'Polygon' as desired. All besides 'Text' are selectable by default. |
 | snapTo | string[]? | Accepts an array of layer IDs. If these layers are active, they are used as snapping material for geometry manipulation. The Draw layer will also always snap to its own features regardless. Please mind that used layers must provide vector data. The layers referred to must be configured in `mapConfiguration.layers`. |
 | style | style? | Please see example below for styling options. Defaults to standard OpenLayers styling. |
 | textStyle | textStyle? | Use this object with properties 'font' and 'textColor' to style text feature. |

 ## unpublished
 
 - Feature: Add `snapTo` to `DrawConfiguration` for specification of layers to snap to.
+- Feature: Add `lassos` to `DrawConfiguration`. With this, `addLoading`, `removeLoading`, and `toastAction` have also been introduced to allow the feature to use other plugins via API calls.
