JavaScript/jQuery Vector Map - Palette

This demo shows how to color specific map areas using a palette. In the JavaScript VectorMap component, a palette defines a range of colors that are used to paint areas. This range is divided into segments using the value assigned to the colorGroups property. Each segment contributes a color into an array of colors.

The map in this demo represents the top 40 countries by population. Map areas are colored according to the percentage of population.

$(() => { $('#vector-map').dxVectorMap({ bounds: [-180, 85, 180, -60], layers: { name: 'areas', dataSource: DevExpress.viz.map.sources.world, palette: 'Violet', colorGroups: [0, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 2, 3, 100], colorGroupingField: 'population', customize(elements) { $.each(elements, (_, element) => { element.attribute('population', populations[element.attribute('name')]); }); }, }, legends: [{ source: { layer: 'areas', grouping: 'color' }, customizeText(arg) { let text; if (arg.index === 0) { text = '< 0.5%'; } else if (arg.index === 5) { text = '> 3%'; } else { text = `${arg.start}% to ${arg.end}%`; } return text; }, }], tooltip: { enabled: true, customizeTooltip(arg) { if (arg.attribute('population')) { return { text: `${arg.attribute('name')}: ${arg.attribute('population')}% of world population` }; } return null; }, }, }); });
