Inheritance: MapDataMapObject

Extension for MapObject to define the dataProvider for the map. It's an object which may contain an array of images, areas or lines.

Example

var map = AmCharts.makeChart("mapdiv",{
  ...
  "dataProvider": {
    "map": "worldHigh",
    "areas": [
      {
        "id": "LT",
        "showAsSelected": true
      }
    ],
    "lines": [
      {
        "latitudes": [51.5002, 50.4422],
        "longitudes": [-0.1262, 30.5367]
      }
    ],
    "images": [
      {
        "type": "circle",
        "top": 100,
        "left": 100
      }
    ]
  }
});

Properties Hide inherited

PropertyTypeDefaultDescription
accessibleLabelStringText which screen readers will read if user rolls-over the object or sets focus using tab key (this is possible only if tabIndex property of object settings or individual object is set to some number). Text is added as aria-label tag. Note - not all screen readers and browsers support this.
alphaNumberOpacity of map object.
areasArray[MapArea]Array of MapArea objects.
balloonTextStringText which is displayed in a roll-over balloon. You can use the following tags: [[title]], [[description]], [[value]] and [[percent]].

To disable the balloons, set it to an empty string.
bottomLatitudeNumber-90Latitude of bottom-most point of a map. All maps in amMap package have this information hardcoded in SVG file.
bringForwardOnHoverBooleanSpecifies if the object should change it's z-index to the top-most when user hovers it.
colorColorColor of MapObject
customDataObjectA custom data holder.
descriptionStringDescription of MapObject. Description is displayed in DescriptionWindow (when user clicks on an object). It can also be displayed in a roll-over balloon. DescriptionWindow can display HTML formatted code.
descriptionWindowBottomDistance from the bottom side of map container to the description window. In case it is not set (also if descriptionWindowTop is not set), window will be placed near the mouse pointer.
descriptionWindowHeightNumberHeight of description window.
descriptionWindowLeftNumberDistance from the left side of map container to the description window. In case it is not set (also if descriptionWindowRight is not set), window will be placed near the mouse pointer.
descriptionWindowRightDistance from the right side of map container to the description window. In case it is not set (also if descriptionWindowLeft is not set), window will be placed near the mouse pointer.
descriptionWindowTopNumberDistance from the top side of map container to the description window. In case it is not set (also if descriptionWindowBottom is not set), window will be placed near the mouse pointer.
descriptionWindowWidthNumberWidth of description window.
fixedSizeBooleantrueSpecifies if the object should change the size together with the map or keep fixed size. This applies for objects with lat and long properties set, as they move together with the map.
getAreasFromMapBooleanfalseIf you set this to true, all areas available in SVG map will be created automatically.
groupIdStringId of a group. You can group MapObjects to groups. Grouped objects will change color together with this object when you roll-over it or click it. You can show/hide them using showGroup(groupId) and hideGroup(groupId) methods of AmMap class. You can also use map.zoomToGroup(groupId) methot to zoom-in the map so that all grouped objects are visible.
idStringUnique id of the object. In case it's area, id should match svg path id from SVG file.
Id can be used with linkToObject property of MapObject - you can link one object to another using it.
imagesArray[MapImage]Array of MapImage objects.
leftLongitudeNumber-180Longitude of left-most point of a map. All maps in amMap package have this information hardcoded in SVG file.
linesArray[MapLine]Array of MapLine objects.
linkToObjectMapObjectlinkToObject can be a reference or id of some other MapObject - MapArea, MapImage or MapLine. It can also be a reference to another DataSet (but not an id). Then user clicks on this object the application would zoom-in to this objects' zoom position (if it is set) and then act as if the linkToObject was clicked. This can also be used for selecting the object you want to be selected right after the map is initialized, as DataSet extends MapObject class, you can specify linkToObject for your DataSet. When you link to another DataSet, you can build drill-down maps.
mapStringName of a map. Instead of using mapURL or mapVar you can use name of the map, usualy the same as file name of the map, for example: map = "worldLow".
mapURLStringPath to map SVG file. Use it if you don't include map as .js file. Loading SVG is a bit risky, as some browsers might not do this correctly - it depends on server configuration. We recommend to include maps as .js files. Application won't load svg files from hard drive, so you can test this only on web server.
mapVarVariableIn case you included map as js file, you should specify variable name of a map. Open your map.js file and copy variable name, for example: AmCharts.maps.worldLow
mouseEnabledBooleantrueSet this to false to make the object be irresponsive to any interactions like hover or click events.
objectTypeObjectRead-only, type of the Object. Possible values are: "DataSet", "MapImage", "MapLine" and "MapArea".
passZoomValuesToTargetBooleanfalseSpecifies if current zoom values should be passed to target MapObject. Useful when building drill down maps.
remainVisibleBooleantrueSpecifies if the MapObject and other objects of the same level should remain visible if it was clicked and it has children MapObjects.
rightLongitudeNumber180Longitude of right-most point of a map. All maps in amMap package have this information hardcoded in SVG file.
rollOverColorColorRoll over color of of the object.
selectableBooleanfalseSpecifies if the object can be selected even if it is not clickable. Map object is clickable if zoom properties are set or it has description or has children objects. Sometimes even non of the listed conditions is met you might need it to be clickable. You should set this property to true in this case.
selectedColorColorColor of an object when it is selected (somebody clicked on it).
showAsSelectedBooleanfalseSpecifies if selectedColor should be applied to the object. AmMap can have only one selected item at a time, however there might be situations when multiple objects (areas, images, lines) have to look like they are selected. By setting this property to true, you will be able to produce this result.
showInListBooleanSpecifies if this object must be displayed in ObjectsList Title should be defined in order the object to appear there.
tabIndexNumberIn case you set it to some number, the map will set focus on this object when user clicks tab key. When a focus is set, screen readers like NVDA Screen reader will read label which is set using accessibleLabel property of object settings or individual object. If object is clickable, pressing Enter/Return while focus is set will select the object. Note, not all browsers and readers support this.
titleStringTitle of a MapObject. It can be displayed in the roll-over balloon and in the header of description window. All areas in SVG maps distributed with amMap has country names (titles) hard coded in the SVG file.
topLatitudeNumber90Latitude of top-most point of a map. All maps in amMap package have this information hardcoded in SVG file.
urlStringUrl of an object. The application will go to this url when you click on the object.
urlTargetString_selfTarget of an URL, if URL is a string, for example: "_blank", "_top".
useTargetsZoomValuesBooleanfalseIf set to `true` the map will carry over the same zoom values when transitioning to new data provider. Useful when building drill down maps.
zoomLatitudeNumberSpecifies latitude to which map should be moved when this object is clicked
zoomLevelNumberSpecifies map scale to which map should be rescaled when this object is clicked.
zoomLongitudeNumberSpecifies longitude to which map should be moved when this object is clicked.
zoomXNumberSpecifies X position (in percents of stage width) to which map should be moved when this object is clicked. You can also use zoomLat and zoomLong instead of zoomX and zoomY.
zoomYNumberSpecifies Y position (in percents of stage height) to which map should be moved when this object is clicked. You can also use zoomLat and zoomLong instead of zoomX and zoomY.
