3D World Map

Pattern

• Size/Position
  • Size: width and height of the component. Unit: pixel.
  • Position: position where the component is located in the canvas. Unit: pixel.

• Add Subcomponent
  Subcomponents of the component include flying lines, scatters, and columns.

  • Flying Lines
    Two geographic locations on the map can be connected by dynamic flying lines. The following describes how to configure the pattern and data of flying lines.

    1. Click Add Subcomponent to add flying lines.
       Figure 2 Adding flying lines for a 3D world map
       
    2. Click Flying line. The page for configuring flying lines is displayed.

       On the Pattern tab page, configure the Speed, Width, Length, and Color of flying lines.

       On the Data tab page, set the longitudes and latitudes of the start and end points of flying lines.

       • Field and Mapping: from specifies the start point of the flying line, and to specifies the end point of the flying line.
       • Automatic Update: If you select Automatic Update and set Update Interval, the dynamic data is automatically updated based on the interval.
  • Scatters

    Geographical locations on the map can be marked using scatters. The following describes how to configure the pattern and data of scatters.

    1. Click Add Subcomponent to add scatters.
       Figure 4 Adding scatters for a 3D world map
       
    2. Click Scatter. The page for configuring scatters is displayed.

       On the Pattern tab page, configure the Size, Style, Color, and Transparency of scatters.

       Figure 5 Configuring the scatter pattern for a 3D world map
       

       On the Data tab page, configure the latitudes, longitudes, and size of scatters.

       • lon specifies the longitude of a scatter. lat specifies the latitude of a scatter. value specifies a scatter value and determines the scatter size together with Size on the Pattern tab page. A larger value leads to a larger scatter.
       • Automatic Update: If you select Automatic Update and set Update Interval, the dynamic data is automatically updated based on the interval.
  • Column

    Geographical locations on the map can be marked using columns. The following describes how to configure the pattern and data of columns.

    1. Click Add Subcomponent to add columns.
       Figure 6 Adding columns for a 3D world map
       
    2. Click Column. The page for configuring columns is displayed.

       On the Pattern tab page, configure the Width, Min Height, Max. Color, Min. Color, and Transparency of the columns.

       Figure 7 Configuring the column pattern for a 3D world map
       

       On the Data tab page, configure the latitudes, longitudes, and height of columns.

       • lon specifies the longitude of a column. lat specifies the latitude of a column. value specifies a column value. A larger value leads to a higher column.
       • Automatic Update: If you select Automatic Update and set Update Interval, the dynamic data is automatically updated based on the interval.
• Global Style
  • Map Center: location of the map center on the canvas.
  • Globe Rotation: to set Scaling, Horizontal, and Vertical of the map.
  • Map Color: fill color of the area blocks on the map.
  • Borderline: color and width of the borderline on the map.
