Map Example - React

Overview

This React example showcases an interactive Australia map using SciChart.js, wrapped in a SciChartReact component. It demonstrates geographic data visualization with React hooks integration.

Technical Implementation

The chart uses FastTriangleRenderableSeries in List draw mode to render state polygons. The React component passes the drawExample function to SciChartReact for initialization. State management for metric selection is handled externally. This example fetches australiaConverted.json from server. australiaConverted.json is array of objects and each object contains 'name', 'outline' and 'areaData'.

  • name is string that contains name of the location

  • outline is array of arrays that represent longitude and latitude of points that represent outline of area

  • areaData is array of arrays that represent series of coordinate points that form triangles used by SciChart's FastTriangleRenderableSeries to create shapes that represent area

areaData is generated using poly2tri - https://github.com/r3mi/poly2tri.js, a 2D constrained Delaunay triangulation library from GeoJSON representation of Australia map

Features and Capabilities

The implementation features dynamic data binding for metric visualization and preserves aspect ratio during resizing. City markers with interactive labels are implemented using EllipsePointMarker.

Integration and Best Practices

The example demonstrates proper React integration by separating chart logic from presentation. The async initialization pattern follows SciChart's React integration guidelines.
