Angular VectorMap Methods
This section describes the methods that can be used in code to manipulate objects related to the widget.
beginUpdate()
Prevents the widget from refreshing until the endUpdate() method is called.
The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the widget from excessive updates when you are changing multiple widget settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the widget does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.

center(centerCoordinates)
Sets the map center coordinates.
To change the coordinates of the map center, pass an array of two values in the [longitude, latitude] form as the argument to the center(centerCoordinates) method.
In addition, you can get the current coordinates of the map center by calling the same method without arguments. Moreover, you can perform specific actions when the center coordinates are changed. For this purpose, implement a callback function and assign it to the onCenterChanged option.

dispose()
Disposes of all the resources allocated to the VectorMap instance.
The following code disposes of an VectorMap instance that corresponds to the element ID (or reference variable in Angular) and removes the element from the DOM:
jQuery
$("#myVectorMap").dxVectorMap("dispose"); $("#myVectorMap").remove();
Angular
<dx-vector-map #vectorMapVar id="myVectorMap"></dx-vector-map>
import { ..., ViewChild } from "@angular/core"; import { DxVectorMapComponent } from "devextreme-angular"; // ... export class AppComponent { @ViewChild("vectorMapVar") vectorMap: DxVectorMapComponent; removeVectorMap (e) { this.vectorMap.instance.dispose(); document.getElementById("myVectorMap").remove(); } }
element()
Gets the root widget element.
