This tutorial will explain how you can use Polygon series data to override default zoom settings with custom ones. The problem We can make the chart zoom to a specific country using zoomToMapObject() […]
tutorial If you are working with Map Chart, you’re probably already familiar with MapPolygonSeries thatr get their geographical data from loaded map file, or “geodata”. However, Map polygons are not limited to this source of data. You can draw any shape and polygon on the map using in-line lat/long coordinates. This tutorial will show how. The […]
