To create the states polygon you need to: 1. download the appropriate shapefile from: http://www.diva-gis.org/gdata 2. convert the shapefile to kml by using a conversion program. I use software from here: http://fwtools.maptools.org/ (it is free, you should be able to download it, install it on your computer and run it) An alternative would be to search the web to see if someone has already created kml you can use. -- Larry > > -Mohan > > On Dec 28, 9:12 am, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > > > > > On Dec 27, 11:04 pm, Mohan <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > Thanks Lary. > > > > I want to show the demographics by color coding the polygons, which > > > are states of the South Africa. > > > > When browsing , i am not able to found any code sample for above > > > thing.
