OI Lume Viz

Zoomable map

A simple, zoomable, slippy map.

Usage

To use this component in a Nunjucks template you would add the following (assumes you've loaded OI Lume Viz into componentNamespace: 'oi'):

{% comp 'oi.map.zoomable', { "config": config } %}{% endcomp %}

where config is replaced by an object that contains some or all of these variables:

  • data - (optional) Either a reference to a CSV file in the Lume site or an array of rows with named attributes. If used you will need to match this to the GeoJSON properties using key.
  • columns - As with many of the visualisation types you can optionally add virtual columns.
  • geojson - (required):
    • key - The GeoJSON property to use to match with the data.
    • data - Either a reference to a GeoJSON file in the Lume site or inline GeoJSON.
  • colours - Define some visualisation-specific named colours.
  • width - An optional minimum width (e.g. 400px) for each panel. Panels may then be arranged by however many columns will fit in the page width.
  • bounds - Set a longitude/latitude bounds of the map:
    • lat - The latitude bounds:
      • min - The minimum latitude
      • max - The maximum latitude
    • lon - The longitude bounds:
      • min - The minimum longitude
      • max - The maximum longitude
  • layers - An array of map layers in the order they will be layered. Each layer has a property type which can be one of:
    • tile - Set a tile layer. If your tile layer is on top of other layers it may hide them (unless it consists of transparent label tiles):
      • props - One of CartoDB.Positron, CartoDB.PositronOnlyLabels, CartoDB.DarkMatter, CartoDB.DarkMatterNoLabels, CartoDB.DarkMatterOnlyLabels, CartoDB.Voyager, CartoDB.VoyagerNoLabels, CartoDB.VoyagerOnlyLabels, ESRI.WorldImagery, OpenStreetMap.Mapnik, Stadia.OSMBright but you can also define your own site-wide tileLayer defaults.
    • background - Set a GeoJSON background:
      • geojson - Either a reference to a GeoJSON file in the Lume site or inline GeoJSON
      • colour - The colour for the background polygons.
    • data - Add the data layer to the map:
      • key - The title of the column to use to match IDs with the GeoJSON.
      • value - The title of the column that will be used to get the colour of a polygon. If the value is a number you should also set the scale.
      • tooltip - Either a string, template string, or the column heading to use to build a tooltip.
      • scale - A colour scale to use to colour the polygons based on the value.
      • min - Used with scale and max to define the colour scale.
      • max - Used with scale and min to define the colour scale.
    • labels - Add a place label layer:
      • places - An array of place markers that sit above the interactive layer. A place can be defined with the following properties:
        • name - the label to use for the place label
        • latitude - set the latitude of the label (can be omitted if it is a UK place we know about)
        • longitude - set the longitude of the label (can be omitted if it is a UK place we know about)
        • text-anchor - set to either start, middle, or end to anchor the text
        • colour - the colour of the label (default is black)
        • border - the colour of the label border (default is white)
        • font-size - manually set the font size (if omitted it will be scaled to the population where known)
        • font-weight - manually set the font weight (e.g. to "bold")
        • font-family - manually set the font family
    • markers - An array of markers
      • markers - A marker can be defined with the following properties:
        • icon - Can be either be a string (one of default, geo, geo-alt, asterisk, pin, balloon, balloon-heart, chat-square) or an object with the form:
          • svg - The SVG string to use
          • size - e.g. [40,40]
          • anchor - e.g. [20,0]
        • latitude - set the latitude of the marker
        • longitude - set the longitude of the marker
        • colour - the colour of the label (default is black)
        • tooltip - the content of an optional tooltip
  • padding - Set the padding between the data layer and the map edges. The value is given in the pixel scale of the generated map (which may not be the same as the pixels the map takes up on screen).
  • legend - Define the legend.
  • mapAttribution - Add some text before the tileset credit.
  • attribution - Add a line of attribution text under the visualisation.

1. A basic map§

Embeddable version

The polygons are defined by the geojson→data key which loads a GeoJSON file (you may want to put your GeoJSON through our GeoJSON Minify tool first).

The geojson→key attribute is used to match a property in geojson→data→features[]→properties with the key attribute in the data rows e.g. we try to match the code attribute in the data (say "E08000016") with the LAD21CD key in the GeoJSON. The value key is the name of a column in the data that defines the colour to use for the polygon. A tooltip can also be specified as the name of a column in the data.

This example was made with config:

2. Colour a map - defined colours§

Embeddable version

This example is mostly the same as the previous one but we've added a colour attribute to each item in data and we set value to that name so that each area gets a specific colour.

This example was made with config:

YAML 
data:
  - code: E08000016
    name: Barnsley
    colour: '#E6007C'
  - code: E08000032

3. Colour a map - using a defined scale§

Embeddable version

In this example we'll use a numeric column (Aged 15 years and under) in the data to set the value to use along with scale to colour each area. The scale can be given as a known string (e.g. "Viridis") or a CSS-style gradient (e.g. "#ffe837 0%, #7d7d77 50%, #042450 100%"). The min and max for the scale will be calculated from the data unless provided.

This example was made with config:

5. Add a legend§

Embeddable version

Sometimes you need a legend with defined levels. To make this we first manually set min and max (otherwise they are calculated from the data and won't necessarily match our levels). We position (e.g. "top right") and add items to the legend. Each item has a value and label although the label can be empty.

6. Custom tooltips§

Embeddable version

We will create a virtual column with the name "Tooltip label" to define the tooltip text. Virtual columns must have a name and template which can include existing columns from the data e.g. "{{ LAD21NM }}: {{ Aged 15 years and under }}" would use the LAD21CD and Aged 15 years and under values from the data. Replacement values (e.g. "{{ Aged 15 years and under }}") can use the following filters:

  • toFixed(n) - to limit a value to n decimal places
  • multiply(n) - to multiply a value by n
  • toLocaleString() - to use the locale's (of the server) preferred formatting for a value
  • colourScale(scale,min,max) - get a colour to, for example, use as a background style
  • contrastColour - get a contrasting colour (black or white)

This example was made with config:

7. Place labels§

Embeddable version

We can add places to a layer above the interactive map. A place can be defined with the following properties:

  • name - the label to use for the place label
  • latitude - set the latitude of the label (can be omitted if it is a UK place we know about)
  • longitude - set the longitude of the label (can be omitted if it is a UK place we know about)
  • text-anchor - set to either start, middle, or end to anchor the text
  • colour - the colour of the label (default is black)
  • border - the colour of the label border (default is white)
  • font-size - manually set the font size (if omitted it will be scaled to the population where known)
  • font-weight - manually set the font weight (e.g. to "bold")
  • font-family - manually set the font family

Be aware that place labels sit above the interactive layer so may block some interactivity.

8. Map markers§

Embeddable version

We can add markers to a layer above the interactive map. A marker can be defined with the following properties:

  • icon - can be either:
    • string - one of default, geo, geo-alt, asterisk, pin, balloon, balloon-heart, chat-square
    • object - define an icon using the following properties
      • svg - the SVG string to use
      • size - e.g. [40,40]
      • anchor - e.g. [20,0]
  • latitude - set the latitude of the marker
  • longitude - set the longitude of the marker
  • colour - the colour of the label (default is black)
  • tooltip - the content of an optional tooltip

Be aware that markers sit above the interactive layer so may block some interactivity.

9. Use a different background tile set§

Embeddable version

This example is similar to an earlier one but we set the tileLayer to CartoDB.DarkMatter. The built-in options include: CartoDB.Positron, CartoDB.PositronNoLabels, CartoDB.PositronOnlyLabels, CartoDB.DarkMatter, CartoDB.DarkMatterNoLabels, CartoDB.DarkMatterOnlyLabels, CartoDB.Voyager, CartoDB.VoyagerNoLabels, CartoDB.VoyagerOnlyLabels, ESRI.WorldImagery, OpenStreetMap.Mapnik, Stadia.OSMBright but you can also define your own site-wide tileLayer defaults.

This example was made with config:

10. Add a background§

Embeddable version

A non-interactive background can be added as a layer behind the interactive map. It should contain GeoJSON data. It can have its colour set. We can also adjust the map bounds if we'd like the view to cover an area smaller/larger than the bounds of the data. Note that the exact bounding of map will also depend on the aspect ratio that the map ends up on the end-user's display.

This example was made with config:

YAML 
data:
  - code: E08000016
    LAD21NM: Barnsley

11. Add tile layers on top of the data layer§

Embeddable version

There may be times when you want to add a tile layer on top of the data layer e.g. if you want to add a tile-based label layer. To do this you should explictly set the order of your layers so that the label tile layer comes after the data layer.

This example was made with config:

YAML 
data:
  - code: E08000016
    LAD21NM: Barnsley
    colour: '#E6007C'

12. Out of this world example§

Embeddable version

Let's journey to Mars. This example is inspired by maps by 65dBnoise and shows locations in Kim Stanley Robinson's "Mars Trilogy".

The first thing we need to do is change the tileLayer so that we are using martian tiles from OpenPlanetaryMap. The tileLayer must have a url defined which should be the URL of some XYZ raster tiles. Make sure that the domain has CORS enabled otherwise the tiles may not load. We can now add a bunch of markers to the map using martian latitude/longitude.

This example was made with config:
