Legend in JavaScript (ES5) Maps control

30 Jan 2023 / 8 minutes to read

A Legend is a key on a Maps that contains descriptions for swatches of symbols. It can be represented in various colors, shapes or other identifiers based on the data and provides valuable information for interpreting what the Maps are displaying. It explains what each symbol in the Maps represents. Legends are enabled by setting the visible property of legendSettings to true.

Positioning of the legend

The legend can be positioned in the following two ways:

Absolute position.
Dock position.

Absolute position

The legend of the Maps can be positioned using the location property in the legendSettings, which is based on the margin values of the X and Y axes. For positioning the legend based on margins corresponding to a Maps, the position property is set as Float.

Dock position

Legends are positioned in the following locations within the container. The position property in legendSettings is used to set these options in Maps.

Top
Left
Bottom
Right

The above four positions can be aligned combination of Near, Center and Far using alignment property in legendSettings property. So, the legend can be aligned to 12 positions.

Legend for shapes

Legend for shapes can be generated from color mapping types such as equal color mapping, range color mapping and desaturation color mapping. Refer to the below data source which demonstrates the permanent and non-permanent countries in the UN security council.

export var unCountries: object[] = [
{ Country: 'China', Membership: 'Permanent' },
{ Country: 'France', Membership: 'Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Russia', Membership: 'Permanent' },
{ Country: 'United Kingdom', Membership: 'Permanent' },
{ Country: 'United States', Membership: 'Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Bolivia', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Eq. Guinea', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Ethiopia', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
{ Country: "Côte d'Ivoire", Membership: 'Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Kazakhstan', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Kuwait', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Netherlands', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Peru', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Poland', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
{ Country: 'Sweden', Membership: 'Non-Permanent' },
];

The below code snippet demonstrate the equal color mapping legends for the shapes. To bind the given data source to the dataSource property of layerSettings. Set the value of shapePropertyPath to name and shapeDataPath to Country. To enable equal color mapping set the colorMapping as an array in shapeSettings. Finally, set the visible property of legendSettings as true. The label property in colorMapping property is used to set the text name for legend in Maps.

Legend for items excluded from color mapping

The legend can be enabled for items excluded from the color mapping using the color property in colorMapping property. Refer to the population_density data which demonstrates the population density of some countries.

export var population_density = [
...
{
    'code': 'AE',
    'value': 90,
    'name': 'United Arab Emirates',
    'population': 8264070,
    'density': 99
},
{
    'code': 'GB',
    'value': 257,
    'name': 'United Kingdom',
    'population': 62041708,
    'density': 255
},
{
    'code': 'US',
    'value': 34,
    'name': 'United States',
    'population': 325020000,
    'density': 33
}
...
];

The following example shows how to enable legend for items excluded from the color mapping. In the following example, color mapping is added for the ranges from 0 to 200. If there are any records in the data source that are outside of this range, the color mapping will not be applied. To apply the color for these excluded items, set the color property alone in the colorMapping. To enable legend for these items, set the visible property of legendSettings to true.

Hide legend items based on data source value

Depending on the values provided in the data source, the legend items will be hidden or visible. Bind the field name that contains the visibility state in the data source to the showLegendPath property of the legendSettings to achieve this.
