Inheritance: MapImage → MapObject
MapImage is a class where properties of images are defined.
MapImage can display external svg, png, jpg or gif files.
There are 3 predefined images: circle, rectangle and bubble.
You can also pass an svg path (this is the most flexible way to have images).
MapImage can also display labels.
In case some property is not defined in this class, MapMovie will use MoviesSettings class property with the same name.
| Property | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| alpha | Number | Opacity of map object. | |
| balloonText | String | Text which is displayed in a roll-over balloon. You can use the following tags: [[title]], [[description]], [[value]] and [[percent]]. | |
| balloonText | String | Text which is displayed in a roll-over balloon. You can use the following tags: [[title]], [[description]], [[value]] and [[percent]]. | |
| bottom | Number | Distance from bottom of a map container to the image. If centered property is false, then the distance is measured to the bottom of the image, otherwise - to the center. If you set this property, value of top property is ignored. This property can be set as a number (of pixels) or as a percent value, like: image.bottom = "10%";. The image will not be bounded to the map if this property is set. Use latitude and longitude properties if you want the image to move with the map. | |
| centered | Boolean | Specifies if the image's center should be placed in the provided coordinates. If false, top-left corner will be at provided coordinates. This property doesn't work with images set as svgPath. | |
| color | String | Color of MapObject | |
| color | String | Color of MapObject | |
| customData | Object | A custom data holder. | |
| description | String | Description 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. | |
| descriptionWindowHeight | Number | Height of description window. | |
| descriptionWindowWidth | Number | Width of description window. | |
| descriptionWindowX | Number | X position of description window. In case it is not set, window will be placed near the mouse pointer. | |
| descriptionWindowY | Number | X position of description window. In case it is not set, window will be placed near the mouse pointer. | |
| fixedSize | Boolean | true | Specifies 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. |
| groupId | String | Id 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. | |
| height | Number | Height of an image. Works with predefined images (if type is set) and loaded images (imageURL is set). If svgPath is set, use scale property to change it's size. | |
| id | String | Unique 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. | |
| images | Array | Array of MapImage objects. | |
| imageURL | String | Url of an image. Images can be svg, jpg, png or gif files. Note, you can't control color, outlineColor, outlineAlpha and outlineThickness of loaded images. Use svgPath property if you need to change these properties. | |
| labelBackgroundAlpha | Number | Opacity of label background alpha. | |
| labelBackgroundColor | Hex string | Color of label background. | |
| labelColor | String | Label color. | |
| labelFontSize | Number | Font size of a label. | |
| labelPosition | String | Position of the label. Allowed values are: left, right, top, bottom and middle. | |
| labelRollOverColor | String | Label roll-over color. | |
| labelShiftX | Number | 0 | In some cases you might want to adjust label position a bit. Use this property to shift label horizontally. |
| labelShiftY | Number | 0 | In some cases you might want to adjust label position a bit. Use this property to shift label vertically. |
| latitude | Number | Latitude of the image. of the image. Set this property if you want the image to be bounded to the map. Otherwise use left/right/top/bottom properties. | |
| left | Number/String | Distance from left of a map container to the image. If centered property is false, then the distance is measured to the left of the image, otherwise - to the center. The image will not be bounded to the map if this property is set. Use latitude and longitude properties if you want the image to move with the map. This property can be set as a number (of pixels) or as a percent value, like: image.left = "10%"; | |
| lines | Array | Array of MapLine objects. | |
| linkToObject | MapObject | linkToObject 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. | |
| longitude | Number | Longitude of the image. Set this property if you want the image to be bounded to the map. Otherwise use left/right/top/bottom properties. | |
| mouseEnabled | Boolean | true | Set this to false to make the object be irresponsive to any interactions like hover or click events. |
| objectType | String | Read-only, type of the Object. Possible values are: "DataSet", "MapImage", "MapLine" and "MapArea". | |
| outlineAlpha | Number | Opacity of image outline. This will affect only predefined images (with "type" property set) and images with svgPath set. This property won't affect bitmap images and loaded SVG images. | |
| outlineColor | String | Color of image outline. This will affect only predefined images (with "type" property set) and images with svgPath set. This property won't affect bitmap images and loaded SVG images. | |
| outlineThickness | Number | Thickness of image outline. This will affect only predefined images (with "type" property set) and images with svgPath set. This property won't affect bitmap images and loaded SVG images. | |
| passZoomValuesToTarget | Boolean | false | Specifies if current zoom values should be passed to target MapObject. Useful when building drill down maps. |
| percentHeight | Number | Height of an image, in percents of map container. Works with predefined images (if type is set) and loaded images (imageURL is set). If svgPath is set, use scale property to change it's size. | |
| percentWidth | Number | Width of an image, in percents of map container. Works with predefined images (if type is set) and loaded images (imageURL is set). If svgPath is set, use scale property to change it's size. | |
| remainVisible | Boolean | true | Specifies if the MapObject and other objects of the same level should remain visible if it was clicked and it has children MapObjects. |
| right | Number | Distance from right of a map container to the image. If centered property is false, then the distance is measured to the right of the image, otherwise - to the center. If you set this property, value of left property is ignored. The image will not be bounded to the map if this property is set. This property can be set as a number (of pixels) or as a percent value, like: image.right= "10%"; Use latitude and longitude properties if you want the image to move with the map. | |
| rollOverColor | String | Roll over color of of the object. | |
| rollOverScale | Number | Scale of the image when hovered. Use value like 1.5 - 2 to enlarge image when user rolls-over it. | |
| scale | Number | 1 | Scale of the image. Works only with images created using svgPath. Use width/height properties for all other images. |
| selectable | Boolean | false | Specifies 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. |
| selectedColor | String | Color of an object when it is selected (somebody clicked on it). | |
| selectedLabelColor | String | Color of a label when image is selected. | |
| selectedScale | Number | Scale of the image if it is selected. Use value like 1.5 - 2 to enlarge selected image. | |
| showAsSelected | Boolean | false | Specifies 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, movies, lines) have to look like they are selected. By setting this property to true, you will be able to produce this result. |
| showInList | Boolean | Specifies if this object must be displayed in ObjectsList Title should be defined in order the object to appear there. | |
| svgPath | String | SVG path, for example: M9,0C4.029,0,0,4.029,0,9s4.029,9,9,9s9-4.029,9-9S13.971,0,9,0z M9,15.93 c-3.83,0-6.93-3.1-6.93-6.93S5.17,2.07,9,2.07s6.93,3.1,6.93,6.93S12.83,15.93,9,15.93 M12.5,9c0,1.933-1.567,3.5-3.5,3.5S5.5,10.933,5.5,9S7.067,5.5,9,5.5 S12.5,7.067,12.5,9z The line above will create a target icon. For more icons we recommend visiting this page: http://raphaeljs.com/icons/ Simply click on an icon you like and you will get SVG path in the bottom. This is the recommended way to create icons/images in AmMap. | |
| title | String | Title 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. | |
| top | Number | Distance from top of a map container to the image. If centered property is false, then the distance is measured to the top bound of the image, otherwise - to the center. The image will not be bounded to the map if this property is set. This property can be set as a number (of pixels) or as a percent value, like: image.top = "10%"; Use latitude and longitude properties if you want the image to move with the map. | |
