Map

Genio offers a Map pattern with customization capabilities based on the special renderings pattern.

Drawing features

Drawing features can be activated when a Map special rendering is used over a Geographic shape or a Geometric coordinates type field.

It's also possible to edit or delete the drawn shapes by activating the edit mode.

Choosing the CRS (Coordinate Reference System)

If not specified, the used CRS will be EPSG:4326 , which is the identifier of WGS84, one of the most common standards, used in most map libraries.

However, if necessary, the CRS can be customized by setting the crs style variable. The value to use for the variable can be either the code of the CRS, if recognized (see list below), or it's full definition using the PROJ.4 nomenclature.

By default, the map already recognizes the following CRS codes:

  • EPSG:4326
  • EPSG:3857
  • EPSG:4269
  • EPSG:3785
  • EPSG:900913
  • EPSG:102113

If the desired CRS is not on the list, then the full definition can be retrieved from the EPSG website. Just search for the code of the desired CRS, scroll down to the "Export" section and choose the PROJ.4 option, copy the text and set it as the value of the crs style variable.

Map configuration

Through the usage of config/style variables, the appearance and available features in the map can be customized. Below, there's an example image of which variable activates/deactivates each of the available features.

Using layers from external services
