Hide Entities

[pitommasi]

Here I am with another feature request:

is it possible (without custom maps) to hide some entities (contry or states) from a map?

I.e.: let's say that I want to show the entire world map (the one with all countries) except north america: is that possible?

Hi,

 

To hide an entity's name, you would need to just set its <displayValue> atttribute as a blank space.

For more details, please refer to the link: http://www.fusioncha...stomLabels.html

Hope this helps.

Nope, sorry, not just the name, but the antire graphic entity. I might need, for example, a World map not showing North America, as if it didn't exist...

Sorry to insist, but I really neeed to know if this feature is available.

I whish to hide entire graphical entitie from a map (not just labels or names, but whole countries, as they didn't exist...

I am attaching a screenshot for reference, thanks.

In this screenshot, as you can see, north america is not visible.

Hi,

 

You can hide a entity in map if you first hide the border using BorderAlpha='0' in <map> entity.

 

To hide the entity please use alpha='0' in the <entity> node of the respective entity.

 

e.g., <map BorderAlpha='0' >

<data>

<entity id='NA' alpha='0' />

<entity id='SA' />

<entity id='EU' />

<entity id='AS' />

<entity id='AF' />

<entity id='AU' />

</data>

</map>

cool... it works, the only thing is that I had to set also the map to not show labels, tooltips and everything that can still render entities visible...

BUT!

This does not solve my problem entirely.

first because the entity is still there, so if I do something on rollover, I need to plan exceptions for every hidden entity and the space in the map is still visible...

What if I wanted something like the following screenshot?

Hi,

 

You can set off the tooltips for certain entities.

 

To achieve this you can use hoverOnEmpty='0' in <map> and place null value for the value attribute of required <entity> element.

 

e.g.,

 

<map  hoverOnEmpty='0' BorderAlpha='0' showlabels='1' showBevel='0' showShadow='0' fillcolor='886688'>
<data>
	<entity id='NA'  alpha='0'  showLabel='0'/>
	<entity id='SA'  value=''  showLabel='1'/>
	<entity id='EU'  value='3' displayValue='My Europe' showLabel='1'/>
	<entity id='AS'  value='3' displayValue='Oriental land' tooltext='tooltext' showLabel='1'/>
	<entity id='AF'  showLabel='0'/>
	<entity id='AU'  showLabel='0' />
</data>
</map>

I know,l but then the empty area wil still be displayed...

Hi,

 

The solution only hides the entity, It does not squeezes the empty space to fit the visible entities.

Is there any way to keep the border of the visible entities, but still hide it for the rest of them?
