Patterns instead of colors

Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

I need to combine two types of information on the same map. For example, population density and crime rate. States should be colored according to population density, and also patterned (dots, grids, lines etc) for crime rate.

 

(I know I can play with tooltips and markers, but I am required to provide this exact visual representation).

 

 

 

My plan is as follows:

 

With Flash, alter the .swf to have two identical maps with the same coordinates.

 

Color one map; fill with patterns the second one.

 

Make the patterned map transparent.

 

 

 

The problem I have is how to fill states with patterns and not colors. Is it possible? Which attribute I should set to the map entities, what is the syntax?

 

 

 

Thank you a lot!
