React 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)
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.

clearSelection()
Deselects all the selected area and markers on a map at once. The areas and markers are displayed in their initial style after.
dispose()
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(); } }
endUpdate()
Refreshes the widget after a call of the beginUpdate() method.

getInstance(element)
getInstance is a static method that the widget class supports. The following code demonstrates how to get the VectorMap instance found in an element with the myVectorMap
ID:
// Modular approach import VectorMap from 'devextreme/viz/vector_map'; ... let element = document.getElementById("myVectorMap"); let instance = VectorMap.getInstance(element) as VectorMap; // Non-modular approach let element = document.getElementById("myVectorMap"); let instance = DevExpress.viz.dxVectorMap.getInstance(element);

getSize()
Returns an object with the following fields.
- width
The width of the widget in pixels. - height
The height of the widget in pixels.

render()
Normally, the widget redraws itself automatically after the browser window is resized. But on rare occasions, you may need to request the redrawing, for example, after the widget's container is resized. For this purpose, call the render() method.

viewport(viewportCoordinates)
To change the coordinates of the map viewport, pass an array of four values in the [minLongitude, maxLatitude, maxLongitude, minLatitude] form as the argument to the viewport(viewportCoordinates) method. If the passed coordinates do not fit the aspect ratio of the widget container precisely, either the latitude or longitude will be applied depending on the largest range.
In addition, you can get the current coordinates of the map viewport by calling the same method without arguments.
If you have implemented the onCenterChanged or onZoomFactorChanged callback functions, they will be triggered when the viewport coordinates are changed using the viewport(viewportCoordinates) method.

zoomFactor(zoomFactor)
To change the zoom factor, pass an numeric value as the argument to the zoomFactor(zoomFactor) method.
In addition, you can get the current value of the map zoom factor by calling the same method without arguments. Moreover, you can perform specific actions when the zoom factor is changed. For this purpose, implement a callback function and assign it to the onZoomFactorChanged option.
