});

const map = new Map({
  target: "map",
  interactions: defaultInteractions().extend([wand]),
  layers: [osm],
  view: new View({
    center: [0, 0],
    zoom: 1
  })
});


// set map layer or layers to create snapshot and to draw a mask
wand.setLayers([/* some other layers */]);

// get sequential arrays of points (contours) by the binary mask
let contours = wand.getContours();

// get a data of the current mask: 1-D binary array and top-left corner
let mask = wand.getMask();

// clear the current mask and remove it from the map view
