annotations[]
Array<VectorMap Annotation | any>
Annotations are containers for images, text blocks, and custom content that display additional information about the visualized data.
To create annotations, assign an array of objects to the annotations[] property. Each object configures an individual annotation. You can set each annotation's type property to "text", "image", or "custom". Depending on the type, specify the annotation's text, image, or template property:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#vectorMap").dxVectorMap({ annotations: [{ type: "text", text: "Annotation text" }, { type: "image", image: "http://image/url/myimage.png" }, { type: "custom", template: function(annotation) { const data = annotation.data; const $svg = $("<svg>"); // ... // Customize the annotation's markup here // ... return $svg; } }] }); });
Angular
<dx-vector-map ... > <dxi-annotation type="text" text="Annotation text"> </dxi-annotation> <dxi-annotation type="image" image="http://image/url/myimage.png"> </dxi-annotation> <dxi-annotation type="custom" template="custom-annotation"> </dxi-annotation> <svg *dxTemplate="let annotation of 'custom-annotation'"> <!-- Declare custom SVG markup here --> </svg> </dx-vector-map>
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { // ... }
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { DxVectorMapModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, DxVectorMapModule ], providers: [ ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Vue
<template> <DxVectorMap ... > <DxAnnotation type="text" text="Annotation text" /> <DxAnnotation type="image" image="http://image/url/myimage.png" /> <DxAnnotation type="custom" template="custom-annotation" /> <template #custom-annotation="{ data }"> <svg> <!-- Declare custom SVG markup here --> </svg> </template> </DxVectorMap> </template> <script> import DxVectorMap, { DxAnnotation } from 'devextreme-vue/vector-map'; export default { components: { DxVectorMap, DxAnnotation }, data() { // ... } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import VectorMap, { Annotation } from 'devextreme-react/vector-map'; function CustomAnnotation(annotation) { const data = annotation.data; return ( <svg> {/* Declare custom SVG markup here */} </svg> ); } export default function App() { return ( <VectorMap ... > <Annotation type="text" text="Annotation text" /> <Annotation type="image" image="http://image/url/myimage.png" /> <Annotation type="custom" render={CustomAnnotation} /> </VectorMap> ); }
Annotations can be positioned at specific geographic coordinates or coordinates of the client area:
Geographic coordinates
annotations: [{ coordinates: [-75.4999, 43.00035] }]
Client area coordinates (x and y)
annotations: [{ x: 100, y: 200 }]
When a user long-presses an annotation or hovers the mouse pointer over it, the VectorMap displays a tooltip.
Objects in the annotations[] array configure individual annotations. To specify properties common for all annotations, use the commonAnnotationSettings object. Individual settings take precedence over common settings.

bounds
When you need to display only a specific region on a map, specify the geographical coordinates of this region using the bounds property. Assign an array of four values to this property. These values represent geographical coordinates in the following format: [minLongitude, maxLatitude, maxLongitude, minLatitude] with the default range of longitude [-180, 180] and latitude [-90, 90]. See the image below to review how these values are applied to a map.
If your dataSource contains coordinates in a different range, implement a custom projection.
commonAnnotationSettings
Settings specified here can be ignored in favor of individual annotation settings specified in the annotations[] array. Refer to the array's description for information on how to configure annotations.
The following code shows the commonAnnotationSettings declaration syntax:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#vectorMap").dxVectorMap({ // ... commonAnnotationSettings: { tooltipEnabled: false } }); });
Angular
<dx-vector-map ... > <dx-common-annotation-settings [tooltipEnabled]="false"> </dx-common-annotation-settings> </dx-vector-map>
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { // ... }
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { DxVectorMapModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, DxVectorMapModule ], providers: [ ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Vue
<template> <DxVectorMap ... > <DxCommonAnnotationSettings :tooltip-enabled="false" /> </DxVectorMap> </template> <script> import DxVectorMap, { DxCommonAnnotationSettings } from 'devextreme-vue/vector-map'; export default { components: { DxVectorMap, DxCommonAnnotationSettings }, data() { // ... } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import VectorMap, { CommonAnnotationSettings } from 'devextreme-react/vector-map'; class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <VectorMap ... > <CommonAnnotationSettings tooltipEnabled={false} /> </VectorMap> ); } } export default App;

controlBar
Users can use the pan control and zoom bar in the control bar panel to navigate the map.
The following code shows how to use the controlBar object to move the control bar to the right side of the map:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#vectorMapContainer").dxVectorMap({ // ... controlBar: { horizontalAlignment: "right" } }); });
Angular
<dx-vector-map ... > <dxo-control-bar horizontalAlignment="right"> </dxo-control-bar> </dx-vector-map>
// ... import { DxVectorMapModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; @NgModule({ imports: [ // ... DxVectorMapModule ], // ... }) export class AppModule { }
Vue
<template> <DxVectorMap ... > <DxControlBar horizontal-alignment="right" /> </DxVectorMap> </template> <script> import { DxVectorMap, DxControlBar } from 'devextreme-vue/vector-map'; export default { components: { DxVectorMap, DxControlBar }, // ... } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import { VectorMap, ControlBar } from 'devextreme-react/vector-map'; class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <VectorMap> // ... <ControlBar horizontalAlignment="right" /> </VectorMap> ); } } export default App;
ASP.NET MVC Controls
@(Html.DevExtreme().VectorMap() @* ... *@ .ControlBar(cb => cb .HorizontalAlignment(HorizontalAlignment.Right) ) )
customizeAnnotation
Customizes an individual annotation.
The following code shows how to use the customizeAnnotation function to apply different settings to text and image annotations:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#vectorMapContainer").dxVectorMap({ // ... customizeAnnotation: function(annotationItem) { if(annotationItem.text) { annotationItem.color = "red"; } if(annotationItem.image) { annotationItem.color = "blue"; } return annotationItem; } }); });
Angular
<dx-vector-map ... [customizeAnnotation]="customizeAnnotation"> </dx-vector-map>
// ... export class AppComponent { customizeAnnotation(annotationItem) { if(annotationItem.text) { annotationItem.color = "red"; } if(annotationItem.image) { annotationItem.color = "blue"; } return annotationItem; } }
import { DxVectorMapModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; // ... @NgModule({ imports: [ // ... DxVectorMapModule ], // ... }) export class AppModule { }
Vue
<template> <DxVectorMap ... :customize-annotation="customizeAnnotation"> </DxVectorMap> </template> <script> import DxVectorMap from 'devextreme-vue/vector-map'; export default { components: { DxVectorMap }, methods: { customizeAnnotation(annotationItem) { if(annotationItem.text) { annotationItem.color = "red"; } if(annotationItem.image) { annotationItem.color = "blue"; } return annotationItem; } } } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import VectorMap from 'devextreme-react/vector-map'; export default function App() { const customizeAnnotation = (annotationItem) => { if(annotationItem.text) { annotationItem.color = "red"; } if(annotationItem.image) { annotationItem.color = "blue"; } return annotationItem; } return ( <VectorMap ... customizeAnnotation={customizeAnnotation}> </VectorMap> ); }
ASP.NET MVC Controls
@(Html.DevExtreme().VectorMap() @* ... *@ .CustomizeAnnotation("customizeAnnotation") ) <script type="text/javascript"> function customizeAnnotation(annotationItem) { if(annotationItem.text) { annotationItem.color = "red"; } if(annotationItem.image) { annotationItem.color = "blue"; } return annotationItem; } </script>

elementAttr
Specifies the global attributes to be attached to the UI component's container element.
jQuery
$(function(){ $("#vectorMapContainer").dxVectorMap({ // ... elementAttr: { id: "elementId", class: "class-name" } }); });
Angular
<dx-vector-map ... [elementAttr]="{ id: 'elementId', class: 'class-name' }"> </dx-vector-map>
import { DxVectorMapModule } from "devextreme-angular"; // ... export class AppComponent { // ... } @NgModule({ imports: [ // ... DxVectorMapModule ], // ... })
Vue
<template> <DxVectorMap ... :element-attr="vectorMapAttributes"> </DxVectorMap> </template> <script> import DxVectorMap from 'devextreme-vue/vector-map'; export default { components: { DxVectorMap }, data() { return { vectorMapAttributes: { id: 'elementId', class: 'class-name' } } } } </script>

export
These features allow a user to export your UI component into a document or print it. When exporting is enabled, the "Exporting/Printing" button appears in the UI component. A click on it invokes a drop-down menu that lists exporting and printing commands. The following formats are supported for exporting into: PNG, PDF, JPEG, SVG and GIF.

legends[]
A legend is a supplementary map element that helps end-users identify a map area or a map marker. The VectorMap UI component can display several legends simultaneously. To configure legends, declare an array of objects and assign it to the legends property. Each object in this array specifies settings of one legend. These settings are described in this section.
Each legend requires the source property to be set. This property specifies whether it is areas or markers that must be accompanied with a legend. Learn more from the description of the source property.
A map legend contains several legend items. A legend item consists of a marker and a text. You can change the size of markers using the markerSize property. To provide texts for legend items, you need to implement the customizeText function.
loadingIndicator
When the UI component is bound to a remote data source, it can display a loading indicator while data is loading.
To enable the automatic loading indicator, set the enabled property to true.
If you want to change the loading indicator's visibility, use the show property or the showLoadingIndicator() and hideLoadingIndicator() methods.

panningEnabled
Disables the panning capability.
Setting this property to false disables a user to pan the map. However, you still can pan the map in code using the center(centerCoordinates) and viewport(viewportCoordinates) methods.
pathModified
projection
You can use one of the following out-of-the-box projections:
- Mercator projection
- Equirectangular projection
- Lambert cylindrical projection
- Miller cylindrical projection
To set a custom projection, implement two functions (from and to) that convert coordinates from geographical to UI component coordinate systems. The to callback is executed to render initial data in VectorMap. The from callback is called when a user executes the pan or move action. The from and to callbacks should have the same ratio:
const projection = { from: ([x, y]) => [x * A, y * B], to: ([lon, lat]) => [lon / A, lat / B], };
In addition, specify the projection's aspectRatio.
redrawOnResize
Specifies whether to redraw the UI component when the size of the container changes or a mobile device rotates.
rtlEnabled
When this property is set to true, the UI component text flows from right to left, and the layout of elements is reversed. To switch the entire application/site to the right-to-left representation, assign true to the rtlEnabled field of the object passed to the DevExpress.config(config) method.
DevExpress.config({ rtlEnabled: true });
size
You can specify a custom width and height for the component:
Fixed | Relative |
---|---|
Assign values to the size object's height and width properties or specify a container for the component. | Specify a container for the component. The component occupies the container area. |
jQuery
$(function() { $("#vectorMapContainer").dxVectorMap({ // ... size: { height: 300, width: 600 } }); });
Angular
<dx-vector-map ... > <dxo-size [height]="300" [width]="600"> </dxo-size> </dx-vector-map>
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', templateUrl: './app.component.html', styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'] }) export class AppComponent { // ... }
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; import { DxVectorMapModule } from 'devextreme-angular'; @NgModule({ declarations: [ AppComponent ], imports: [ BrowserModule, DxVectorMapModule ], providers: [ ], bootstrap: [AppComponent] }) export class AppModule { }
Vue
<template> <DxVectorMap ... > <DxSize :height="300" :width="600" /> </DxVectorMap> </template> <script> import DxVectorMap, { DxSize } from 'devextreme-vue/vector-map'; export default { components: { DxVectorMap, DxSize }, // ... } </script>
React
import React from 'react'; import VectorMap, { Size } from 'devextreme-react/vector-map'; class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <VectorMap ... > <Size height={300} width={600} /> </VectorMap> ); } } export default App;
Alternatively, you can use CSS to style the UI component's container:
jQuery
$(function() { $("#vectorMap").dxVectorMap({ // ... }); });
#vectorMap { width: 85%; height: 70%; }
Angular
<dx-vector-map ... id="vectorMap"> </dx-vector-map>
#vectorMap { width: 85%; height: 70%; }
Vue
<template> <DxVectorMap ... id="vectorMap"> </DxVectorMap> </template> <script> import DxVectorMap from 'devextreme-vue/vector-map'; export default { components: { DxVectorMap }, // ... } </script> <style> #vectorMap { width: 85%; height: 70%; } </style>
React
import React from 'react'; import VectorMap from 'devextreme-react/vector-map'; class App extends React.Component { render() { return ( <VectorMap ... id="vectorMap"> </VectorMap> ); } } export default App;
#vectorMap { width: 85%; height: 70%; }
theme
A theme is a UI component configuration that gives the UI component a distinctive appearance. You can use one of the predefined themes or create a custom one. Changing the property values in the UI component's configuration object overrides the theme's corresponding values.
title
The UI component's title is a short text that usually indicates what is visualized. If you need to specify the title's text only, assign it directly to the title property. Otherwise, set this property to an object with the text and other fields specified.
The title can be accompanied by a subtitle elaborating on the visualized subject using the title.subtitle object.
tooltip
A tooltip is a miniature rectangle displaying data of an area or a marker. A tooltip appears when the end-user hovers the cursor over an area or a marker. To show tooltips, do the following.
Enable tooltips.
Set the enabled property to true.Specify text to be displayed in tooltips. Specify the customizeTooltip property.
You can also change the appearance of tooltips using fields of the tooltip configuration object.
wheelEnabled
Rolling the mouse wheel zooms a map. If you need to disable this capability, assign false to the wheelEnabled property. A user will still be able to zoom the map using the control bar.
zoomFactor
Use this property to specify a zoom factor for a map while configuring it. This property accepts a value that is greater than 1. Note that the zooming is performed with relation to the center of the map.
zoomingEnabled
Disables the zooming capability.
Setting this property to false disables a user's ability to zoom the map. However, you can still zoom the map in code using the zoomFactor(zoomFactor) method.
