#### Interactive maps for data visualizations. Bundled into a single Javascript file.



Datamaps is intended to provide some data visualizations based on geographical data. It's SVG-based, can scale to any screen size, and includes everything inside of 1 script file.

It heavily relies on the amazing [D3.js](https://github.com/mbostock/d3) library.



Out of the box it includes support for choropleths and bubble maps (see [demos](http://datamaps.github.io)), but it's not limited to just that. Its new plugin system allows for the addition of any type of visualization over the map.

### Documentation



#### Getting Started



1. Include D3.js and Topojson on your page

2. Include Datamaps.js on your page

3. Add a container, set the height and width and position to relative

4. Create a `new Datamaps(options)`, passing in at least an `element` option



Example:

```html






    var map = new Datamap({element: document.getElementById('container')});



```



This should render a new world map with a standard projection.



#### via [NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/datamaps)

1. `npm install datamaps`

2. Refer to file in `dist` directory, like:



```html






    var map = new Datamap({element: document.getElementById('container')});



```



#### via Bower



1. `bower install datamaps`

2. Refer to file in `dist` directory, like:



```html






    var map = new Datamap({element: document.getElementById('container')});



```



#### USA Only Map

A map of the USA with an Albers based projection will be default if you only include `datamaps.usa.min.js`, but in case you include `datamaps.all.min.js`:

```html



    var map = new Datamap({

        element: document.getElementById('container'),

        scope: 'usa'

    });



```



#### Changing the default fill colors

```html



    var map = new Datamap({

        element: document.getElementById('container'),

        fills: {

            defaultFill: 'rgba(23,48,210,0.9)' // Any hex, color name or rgb/rgba value

        }

    });



```



#### Disabling popup or hover effects

```html



    var map = new Datamap({

        element: document.getElementById('container'),

        geographyConfig: {

            highlightOnHover: false,

            popupOnHover: false

        }

    });



```



#### Using custom maps

```html



    var map = new Datamap({

        element: document.getElementById('container'),

        geographyConfig: {

            dataUrl: '/custom.json'

        },

        scope: 'custom',

        setProjection: function(element, options) {

            var projection, path;

            projection = d3.geo.albersUsa()

                .center([long, lat])

                .scale(element.offsetWidth)

                .translate([element.offsetWidth / 2, element.offsetHeight / 2]);

}

            path = d3.geo.path()

                .projection( projection );



            return {path: path, projection: projection};

        }

    });



```



By specifying a `dataUrl`, Datamaps will attempt to fetch that resource as TopoJSON.



If you are using a custom map, you'll probably want to specify your own `setProjection` method as well.



`setProjection` takes 2 arguments, `element` as a DOM element, `options` as the original options you passed in. It should return an object with two properties: `path` as a `d3.geo.path`, `projection` as a `d3.geo.projection`



The example above will result in albersUsa projection.

[Read about other D3.js projections](https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Geo-Projections)



[Read more about TopoJSON](https://github.com/mbostock/topojson/wiki)



### You can create any country's map using custom maps.

Follow the below steps:-

1. Find the {xyz}.topo.json file for you country xyz. You can find from https://github.com/markmarkoh/datamaps/tree/master/dist.

2. Extract Datamap.prototype.{xyz}Topo json and save it file named {xyz}.topo.json

3. If the state codes contains dot(.) in the topo json, then you need to remove the dot from the code e.g, if your state code is CA.AL, remove CA. part to get 2-digit ISO code AL. If the states code are already in 2-digit ISO or do't have dot(.) then don't do any modification follow next steps.

4. Objects country name in {xyz}.topo.json should be same as you declared in the Datamap scope. e.g, for Canada, in canada.topo.json we have {"type":"Topology","objects":{"can":{"type":"GeometryCollection"}}} and we have provided scope as 'canada' in the canada.html page. So this case 'can' in canada.topo.json must be as 'canada' i.e {"type":"Topology","objects":{"canada":{"type":"GeometryCollection"}}}.

5. You need to override setProjection method, which is explained above three countires. You can refer any one.

6. Done



Here are the some examples of different countries maps.



### 1. Bubble map on India Geographical region

![india bubble map](https://github.com/Anujarya300/bubble_maps/blob/master/images/india.jpg)



[india.html](https://github.com/Anujarya300/bubble_maps/blob/master/india.html)

```

 var bubble_map = new Datamap({

            element: document.getElementById('india'),

            scope: 'india',

            geographyConfig: {

                popupOnHover: true,

                highlightOnHover: true,

                borderColor: '#444',

                borderWidth: 0.5,

                dataUrl: 'https://rawgit.com/Anujarya300/bubble_maps/master/data/geography-data/india.topo.json'

                //dataJson: topoJsonData

            },

            fills: {

                'MAJOR': '#306596',

                'MEDIUM': '#0fa0fa',

                'MINOR': '#bada55',

                defaultFill: '#dddddd'

            },

            data: {

                'JH': { fillKey: 'MINOR' },

                'MH': { fillKey: 'MINOR' }

            },

            setProjection: function (element) {

                var projection = d3.geo.mercator()

                    .center([78.9629, 23.5937]) // always in [East Latitude, North Longitude]

                    .scale(1000);

                var path = d3.geo.path().projection(projection);

                return { path: path, projection: projection };

            }

});

```

###### Set the correct projection for India map on world map with the help of Longitude and Latitute of India (you can google it India Longitude and Latitute)

Please use **india.toto.json** for India geopraphy json data from https://github.com/Anujarya300/bubble_maps/blob/master/data/geography-data/india.topo.json, otherwise your map wont work. (I have truncated IND. from all state ISO code(2-digit ISO code), e.g IND.JH for Jharkhand state truncated to JH)  



Please note in setProjection method, I have set [78.9629, 23.5937] to locate center point for India in the world map. That means

Latitude = 78.9629 E and Longitude = 23.5937 N. Remember Latitute and Longitude are always East and North. For western countries, Latitude are in West so make it convert as Negative of East. e.g 102.3421 W ==> -102.3421 E.



### 2. Bubble map on Canada Geographical region

![canada bubble map](https://github.com/Anujarya300/bubble_maps/blob/master/images/canada.jpg)



[canada.html](https://github.com/Anujarya300/bubble_maps/blob/master/canada.html)

```

var bubble_map = new Datamap({

            element: document.getElementById('canada'),

            scope: 'canada',

            geographyConfig: {

                popupOnHover: true,

                highlightOnHover: true,

                borderColor: '#444',

                borderWidth: 0.5,

                dataUrl: 'https://rawgit.com/Anujarya300/bubble_maps/master/data/geography-data/canada.topo.json'

                //dataJson: topoJsonData

            },

            fills: {

                'MAJOR': '#306596',

                'MEDIUM': '#0fa0fa',

                'MINOR': '#bada55',

                defaultFill: '#dddddd'

            },

            data: {

                'JH': { fillKey: 'MINOR' },

                'MH': { fillKey: 'MINOR' }

            },

            setProjection: function (element) {

                  var projection = d3.geo.mercator()

                .center([-106.3468, 68.1304]) // always in [East Latitude, North Longitude]

                .scale(250)

                .translate([element.offsetWidth / 2, element.offsetHeight / 2]);



                var path = d3.geo.path().projection(projection);

                return { path: path, projection: projection };

            }

        });

```

###### Set the correct projection for Canada map on world map with the help of Longitude and Latitute of Canada (you can google it Canada Longitude and Latitute)



Please use **canada.toto.json** for India geopraphy json data from https://github.com/Anujarya300/bubble_maps/blob/master/data/geography-data/canada.topo.json, otherwise your map wont work. (I have truncated CA. from all state ISO code(2-digit ISO code), e.g CA.TN to TN)

        

Please note in setProjection method, I have set [-106.3468, 68.1304] to locate center point for Canada in the world map. That means

Latitude = 106.3468 W and Longitude = 68.1304 N. Remember Latitute and Longitude are always East and North. For western countries, Latitude are in West so make it convert as Negative of East. e.g 102.3421 W ==> -102.3421 E.



*You can adjust this latitude and longitude co-ordinates by minor changing. 

e.g, if your map is not showing full view of North then you can change 68.1304 N to 70.3200 N or 71.3200 etc.

     if your map is not showing full view of East then you can change 32.1304 E to 70.3200 E or 30.3200 etc.*

#### Creating a Choropleth



Probably the most common type of map visualization, where different states or countries are color coded.

![US election map, example of a choropleth](http://datamaps.github.io/images/choropleth.png)



You'll need to know the 2 letter state code ('NY' for New York) or the 3 letter country code ('SCT' for Scotland) to fill in areas.

```html



    var map = new Datamap({

        element: document.getElementById('container'),

        fills: {

            HIGH: '#afafaf',

            LOW: '#123456',

            MEDIUM: 'blue',

            UNKNOWN: 'rgb(0,0,0)',

            defaultFill: 'green'

        },

        data: {

            IRL: {

                fillKey: 'LOW',

                numberOfThings: 2002

            },

            USA: {

                fillKey: 'MEDIUM',

                numberOfThings: 10381

            }

        }

    });



    // Draw a legend for this map

    map.legend();



```



This will draw a world map and fill in IRL (Ireland) with the corresponding `fills.LOW` and USA with `fills.MEDIUM`.



You can also use `fill: color` for each state if you don't want to define a `fillKey`.



Colors will be applied in this order: `fillKey`, `fill`, `defaultFill`.



#### Updating a choropleth after initial drawing

```javascript

map.updateChoropleth({

   USA: {fillKey: 'LOW'},

   CAN: '#0fa0fa'

});

```



You can specify either a literal color (as a string), or an object with a fillKey property.



#### Resetting a choropleth to `defaultFill`



The following will reset the entire map to the `defaultFill` and update `CA` to be filled green.

```js

map.updateChoropleth({CA: 'green'}, {reset: true})

```



The following will reset the entire map to `defaultFill`

```js

map.updateChoropleth(null, {reset: true})

```



The following will reset the entire map to `defaultFill`, but update the corresponding data of NY.

```js

map.updateChoropleth({NY: {numberOfVoters: 55452}}, {reset: true})

```



You can also add a map legend with the `legend` plugin (used above)



#### Choropleth with auto-calculated color



Example [highmaps_world.html](src/examples/highmaps_world.html) explains how to create colorized map based on some quantity of things, [Live Demo](http://jsbin.com/kuvojohapi/1/edit?html,output)



Example result:



![auto calculated color](/src/screenshots/datamap_highmap_exmaple.jpg)



#### Custom popup on hover



Expanding on the previous example of using `data`, any property passed into `data` will be sent to the `popupTemplate` function, which can be override to display custom messages.

```html



    var map = new Datamap({

        element: document.getElementById('container'),

        fills: {

            HIGH: '#afafaf',

            LOW: '#123456',

            MEDIUM: 'blue',

            UNKNOWN: 'rgb(0,0,0)',

            defaultFill: 'green'

        },

        data: {

            IRL: {

                fillKey: 'LOW',

                numberOfThings: 2002

            },

            USA: {

                fillKey: 'MEDIUM',

                numberOfThings: 10381

            }

        },

        geographyConfig: {

            popupTemplate: function(geo, data) {

                return ['<div class="hoverinfo"><strong>',

                        'Number of things in ' + geo.properties.name,

                        ': ' + data.numberOfThings,

                        '</strong></div>'].join('');

            }

        }

    });



```



`geographyConfig.popupTemplate`, `bubblesConfig.popupTemplate` and `arcConfig.popupTemplate` just needs to return an HTML string, so feel free to use [Handlebars](https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/) or [Underscore](http://underscorejs.org/#template) templates (instead of the terrible Array.join method above).



#### Bubbles

Bubbles in a core plugin that will render circles('bubbles') on different parts of the map. Each of these bubbles can be color coded in the same way a choropleth is color coded (see above 'Choropleth' example).

```js

var bombMap = new Datamap({

    element: document.getElementById('map_bombs'),

    scope: 'world',

    geographyConfig: {

        popupOnHover: false,

        highlightOnHover: false

    },

    fills: {

        'USA': '#1f77b4',

        'RUS': '#9467bd',

        'PRK': '#ff7f0e',

        'PRC': '#2ca02c',

        'IND': '#e377c2',

        'GBR': '#8c564b',

        'FRA': '#d62728',

        'PAK': '#7f7f7f',

        defaultFill: '#EDDC4E'

    },

    data: {

        'RUS': {fillKey: 'RUS'},

        'PRK': {fillKey: 'PRK'},

        'PRC': {fillKey: 'PRC'},

        'IND': {fillKey: 'IND'},

        'GBR': {fillKey: 'GBR'},

        'FRA': {fillKey: 'FRA'},

        'PAK': {fillKey: 'PAK'},

        'USA': {fillKey: 'USA'}

    }

});



     var bombs = [{

        name: 'Joe 4',

        radius: 25,

        yield: 400,

        country: 'USSR',

        fillKey: 'RUS',

        significance: 'First fusion weapon test by the USSR (not "staged")',

        date: '1953-08-12',

        latitude: 50.07,

        longitude: 78.43

      },{

        name: 'RDS-37',

        radius: 40,

        yield: 1600,

        country: 'USSR',

        fillKey: 'RUS',

        significance: 'First "staged" thermonuclear weapon test by the USSR (deployable)',

        date: '1955-11-22',

        latitude: 50.07,

        longitude: 78.43



      },{

        name: 'Tsar Bomba',

        radius: 75,

        yield: 50000,

        country: 'USSR',

        fillKey: 'RUS',

        significance: 'Largest thermonuclear weapon ever tested—scaled down from its initial 100 Mt design by 50%',

        date: '1961-10-31',

        latitude: 73.482,

        longitude: 54.5854

      }

    ];

//draw bubbles for bombs

bombMap.bubbles(bombs, {

    popupTemplate: function (geo, data) {

            return ['
' +  data.name,

            '
Payload: ' +  data.yield + ' kilotons',

            '
Country: ' +  data.country + '',

            '
Date: ' +  data.date + '',

            '
'].join('');

    }

});

```



![bubble map](http://datamaps.github.io/images/bubbles.png)



The first parameter to `bubbles` should be an array of objects, each with **at least** 3 properties:



  - `latitude`

  - `longitude`

  - `radius`



Optionally, pass in `fillKey` to color code the bubble, and pass in any other data you want to render in a popup template which can be overridden in the options parameter.



For further customization, you can set these properties on each bubble to override the options parameter (or default options):



  - `borderColor`

  - `borderWidth`

  - `borderOpacity`

  - `fillOpacity`



The second parameter is the `options` param, where you can override any of the default options (documented below)



#### Live updating of bubbles

You can continue to call `bubbles` on the same map instance and the map will auto update itself. Any bubble previously drawn that's **not included** in subsequent calls will be removed from the UI.



`map.bubbles([])` will erase all bubbles.



#### Labels



For USA maps you can add 2 letter (*i.e., NY, TX*) labels to each state. To add labels, after created the map:



```javascript

map.labels();

```



The following options are allowed:



  - `labelColor` // Font color, default: #000

  - `lineWidth` // Line width for New England states, default: 1

  - `fontSize` // Font size, default: 10

  - `fontFamily` // Font family, default: 'Verdana'

  - `customLabelText` // Replaces 2 letter labels with custom



An example for using the options:



```javascript

map.labels({labelColor: 'blue', fontSize: 12});

```



An example for using the customLabelText



This accepts an object whose keys are uppercase 2 letter state codes.

Values will be substituted for default label text

Any missing values default to 2 state letters

```javascript

newLabels = {'AK':'Alaska', 'AL':'123',.......};

map.labels({'customLabelText': newLabels});

```

Example [custom-labels.html](src/examples/custom-labels.html) for using the customLabelText



![custom labels](/src/screenshots/datamap_custom_label_example.png)



#### Zooming



You can override the default projection by setting your own `setProjection(element)` function.

[Example here](http://datamaps.github.io#zoom)



```javascript

var map = new Datamap({

  scope: 'world',

  element: document.getElementById('container1'),

  setProjection: function(element) {

    var projection = d3.geo.equirectangular()

      .center([19, -3])

      .rotate([4.4, 0])

      .scale(400)

      .translate([element.offsetWidth / 2, element.offsetHeight / 2]);

    var path = d3.geo.path()

      .projection(projection);



    return {path: path, projection: projection};

  },

```



#### Using with jQuery

If jQuery is present on the page when the Datamaps library loads, it'll automatically create a jQuery plugin called `datamaps` that can be used like:

```html

    

        $("#container").datamaps(options);

    

```



#### Events

All events are bubbled up to the root `svg` element and to listen to events, use the `done` callback.



```html



    var map = new Datamap({

        element: document.getElementById('container'),

        done: function(datamap) {

            datamap.svg.selectAll('.datamaps-subunit').on('click', function(geography) {

                alert(geography.properties.name);

            });

        }

    });



```



#### Responsive Maps

Set `responsive` to `true` and then listen for `resize` events on `window`, and call `Datamaps.prototype.resize`.



Avoid setting the height and width of the `container` with hard pixel values, instead use percent values. (use `50%` instead of `500px`.



If the aspect ratio of your custom map is not the default `16:9` (`0.5625`), you should use the `aspectRatio` option to set it appropriately (eg. `0.3` for a `3:1` aspect ratio).



```html




    var map = new Datamap({

        element: document.getElementById('container'),

        responsive: true

    });



    // Pure JavaScript

    window.addEventListener('resize', function() {

        map.resize();

    });



    // Alternatively with d3

    d3.select(window).on('resize', function() {

        map.resize();

    });



    // Alternatively with jQuery

    $(window).on('resize', function() {

       map.resize();

    });



```

#### Default Options

```js

  {

    scope: 'world', // Currently supports 'usa' and 'world', however with custom map data you can specify your own

    setProjection: setProjection, // Returns a d3 path and projection functions

    projection: 'equirectangular', // Style of projection to be used. try "mercator"

    height: null, // If not null, datamaps will grab the height of 'element'

    width: null, // If not null, datamaps will grab the width of 'element',

    responsive: false, // If true, call `resize()` on the map object when it should adjust it's size

    done: function() {}, // Callback when the map is done drawing

    fills: {

      defaultFill: '#ABDDA4' // The keys in this object map to the "fillKey" of [data] or [bubbles]

    },

    dataType: 'json', // For use with dataUrl, currently 'json' or 'csv'. CSV should have an `id` column

    dataUrl: null, // If not null, datamaps will attempt to fetch this based on dataType ( default: json )
