Can someone please help me with converting svg to jVectorMap. I can't get stroke to be smaller. I've tried so many things nothing had effect, editing with illustrator, removing stroke, adding stroke-width="1" to every <g>, <path> - no effect.

What i really need is a jVectorMap with all countries. Original is missing a lot of them.
I found map for another similar plugin, and tweaked it a bit to work with jvector map. Hopefully it will help someone - here is the code, ready to use with jvector map.

Hi i am having some trouble getting my sortable lists to scroll horizontally. Here is a link to an example of how i want my list to function.
The example above uses a very large negative margin to the right like so...
margin-right:-30000px;
And here is the link to the Js-Fiddle version of my sortable list.
i have tried everything i know! Overflow properties, margins, divs within divs but i have had no luck. Searched around on Google to but everything i found just told me what i already know.
Hopefully someone on here has done this before or knows how to and would like to share their secrets with me...
I have decided to divert from horizontal side scrolling for now as it just doesn't seem to have enough support at the moment. For anyone looking for a solution i found this neat plugin that is highly customizable. http://manos.malihu.gr/tuts/custom-scrollbar-plugin/complete_examples.html
Ey. I've seen the other post about Lightbox gallery effect for Flex, but after having played around with it I cant seem to get it to work 100% (The image is as small as the thumb, and I cant make it bigger). And this also lacks some functionality I'd like to have.
So, one example would be, of course, this: http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
If you click any image on the image set you can swap between them with an arrow. This is what I'd like to have.
Also, it would be nice if it was possible to display the thumbnails for the other images in the same set under the bigger picture(when one image is already clicked).
I've tried to search for components like this, but I cant seem to find any other.
If any of you know of any nice components or snippets of code for this kind of effect then please let me know! =)
Kind regards,
Stian Berg Larsen
EDIT:
So I've searched around and tried a number of examples, but I cant seem to get any of them to work. There is always an error, and none of the examples are exactly what I want.
I simply need a way to show images like Lightbox. With a prev/next arrow and maybe a close button. Nothing more than that. How would I go about making this, or use an existing component?
Im using a TileGroup to hold all my thumbs (so that they will fill out the width of the Group with more images if there are room for it). If it's possible to generate this list of thumbnails dynamically too then that would be great, but basically what I need is to show images with a Lightbox style when I click them.
Thanks! =)
I ended up just making my own lightbox effect. :)
Created an Actionscript class (based on Group) and added image loading functionality, prev/next/close buttons and borders and such. Works like a charm :)
A few days ago I've explored geomaps and, however, it turned out to be easy to change the properties of the elements.
But I have two questions:
I'd like to add rivers and forests on the maps. So Ive considered to set a background image instead of the geomaps figure. But I can't find a way to get this one fixed. Is there a way to set a background picture for a country or region?
How can I change the shape of the "bubbles" when you select a city e.g. "London"? I'd like to change it to a square.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Unfortunately what you're looking for is not available in geocharts in their current implementation.
Using a background image is possible in the sense that you can use CSS to make all shapes in the map transparent, and use a background image in the div to make it appear as if the little circles are being drawn on a map with forest and rivers, but you will run in to two big hurdles:
Your map will need to be identical in size/layout to the Google Maps SVG
If Google ever changes the SVG they use (or the view/projection they use) you will need to edit yours too
This isn't ideal, obviously. You could work around it by creating custom javascript to write rivers and forests on your map, but that is going to be a huge headache (especially if you are using multiple maps/views).
As for the circles, you can't change them to squares without hacking the actual SVG in the background with javascript. While this is definitely possible (if you're really good with SVG/Javascript), it again isn't using any of the fancy features of geocharts, and is more just a custom solution that will have to be updated if/when google updates their API.
Rather than doing it that way, you may want to look in to the same implementation on google maps itself. That will allow you to use custom markers, draw custom shapes, etc. with a lot more flexibility (and a much more stable API).
I'm trying to animate text with RaphaelJS, but I'm encountering a choppy animation ("judder"?). I've looked around for other issues regarding this, but I've only been able to find jQuery-specific or non-SVG topics so far. Please let me know if I overlooked a similar question!
Essentially, I'm attempting to visually wrap a text element in a rect element and translate them simultaneously through an animation. I know about the 'g' element, but I don't want to use it since older versions of Internet Explorer don't support it. Instead, I'm using separate Raphael animations for the text and the rectangle:
var raphRect = paper.rect(
(paperWidth/2)-rectWidth/2
,paperHeight-rectHeight
,rectWidth
,rectHeight
,rectHeight/2
)
...
,raphText1 = paper.text(
paperWidth/2
,paperHeight-(2*fontSize)
,'this is jumpy text?'
)
...
raphRect.animate({y : -rectHeight}, risingTime, 'linear');
raphText1.animate({y : -2*fontSize}, risingTime, 'linear');
I'm assuming that the judder is caused by rounding pixels in each animation frame for the text element. Is there any way to mitigate or prevent this judder? (Reducing the animation time is not an option...and it doesn't even look like it helps.)
(I have an example of what I'm trying to do here. I've included two lines of text and a bold stroke for the rect to emphasize the judder.)
I had the same problem and have tried to differentways to solve it. I have found few hacks that works for me. But they all have the same idea: you should make text not so straight.
"transform" : "R 0.01"
For example, it rotates your text on small angle. Here is the result:
jsfiddle.
I can't garantue that it will work in your browser. In stable Chrome 36 it works good, in beta or canary worse.
You could also try no so straigth font jsfiddle. It works good for FF.
"font-family" : "Comic Sans MS"
Other things worse to be tried:
inreasing font size
using bold font
using a text path
This idea is actually borrowed from Robert Longson's information about the text-rendering property. It's true that Raphael doesn't provide direct access to this functionality, but it does provide you with a link to the dom node -- so it is but a second step to apply this style yourself, and it does indeed produce better results in Firefox at least.
Using jquery:
$(raphText1.node).attr( 'text-rendering', 'geometricPrecision' );
$(raphText2.node).attr( 'text-rendering', 'geometricPrecision' );
Staged here.
I am building a map navigation for a client and am stuck! I have built the map using and coords and all is fine. However I now need for each region to change colour when you hover over it.
I have done this before with simple sliced-up PNGs in Photoshop but because of the complexity of the map and overlapping items this isn't an option. I don't even know where to start - have tried some different tutorials and a lot of googling but can't find a good solution.
Here is my map so far: http://www.wiredcanvas.com/uploads/map/map.html
I want it so that when you click on a region it will turn a different colour - and I may also add a tooltip if necessary.
Any advice or help as to where I should go from here very gratefully received!!
Thank-you in advance
Alice
