I do a lot of mapping and shaded polygons (choropleth maps) are extremely important, like showing red vs blue states in the US Elections 2008 example. Or from a purely functional view, a shading allows the user to know where to click, or more easily identifies the region over the many different types of basemaps (Maps, Satellite, Hybrid, Terrain, any custom overlay.)
As long as you can set the color based on an attribute and set the opacity, this should be able to handle many different scenarios. (ex:opacity=0 for no fill/transparent, ex:opacity=1 for opaque) - John ************************************************** John Callahan Geospatial Application Developer Delaware Geological Survey, University of Delaware 227 Academy St, Newark DE 19716-7501 Tel: (302) 831-3584 Email: [email protected] http://www.dgs.udel.edu ************************************************** Bruce Robertson wrote: > Maybe I just haven't been paying attention lately but where did the > rectangular fill region in the map come from? > > Seems to be of mixed value - I'm not sure what the fill region > signifies, but it does obscure the map. > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
