I’m new to wordpress therefore I’m not aware of all the capabilities of this tool, but I wanted to know how do I add buttons on top of an image, much like the waypoints you normally see in maps in museums or even video-games. It is something that I am having trouble recreating and I would need some help with that.
Here is an example but of course, with less buttons than what it is actually shown here.
Also, before I forget to mention, thank you to all those who try to help me.
(This is a repost from my original topic in the wordpress forums, you can find it here.)
I have a problem, I wanna ask if it's possible to click on Mapbox circle and drill through another page? or are there any ideas of doing so?
Thanks
I have created a sample report for you using Map visual with drill down option. Download the sample pbix file from Here.
Please let me know if you find any complexity.
I am trying to make this specific menu from the image.
As you can see from the photo, the menu is based on filtering and submitting the custom filter. The way this menu is aimed to be used is by swiping left or right depending on the user's choice as shown in this image.
When swiped, depending on which element is currently located in the trigger point, in this case, the center of the page, it would give it a custom class as shown here.
I understand that question is too broad to be fully answered and I totally agree with that. My aim is to get some sort of help or advice in which direction should I go in order to accomplish this (using a library you know or tutorial explaining similar issues).
** Also if someone has an idea of how to make these elements swipeable, it would be of great help.
Thank you in advance.
Based on the design below, is it possible to create the map just using CSS? If so, how?
So as you can see, when you hover over a state the name will appear and change the color of the state. On clicking it will info below the map per state.
UPDATE 1:
Can it be done using absolute positioning, z-index and hover states on a button?
UPDATE 2:
With a slight tweak to the design, would it be possible to have a flat image for the map and plotting dot's on it for each state that would include a hover (using the same tab style as the image example)? Each dot being an image. Am I right in saying that the complication of the design is to highlight the right area when hovered? Therefore, just having a dot would solve it right?
I was interested in this too and found this example (USA) MAP if you look into the source code there is area for each state that look like <area onmouseover="show(this)" onmouseout="hide()" onclick="fform.tg.checked=false;togl()" shape="poly" coords="179,33,174,66,230,67,225,35,179,33,179,33" href="us-nd.html">. You can read more about and tags in W3C link. I think its the only way how to do this without flash or something... But it cant be done without a little JS. To get the coords, I would asume you just open your image in some editor that shows coords(gimp or something) and manually find them out...
No. If it had rectangular shapes yes but with a lot of work.
You really need javascript on this one.
You might want to try a Javascript mapping library - www.openlayers.org is the market leader (and free and open source).
You get your US state map in the right format (GML for example) then you can pretty much cut n paste from one of the openlayers examples. Hovering and clicking are handled by event functions. They can then do things like updating your info box below the map.
Note that if you want Alaska and Hawaii as in the picture and all you can find is a geographic state map, you might have to use a GIS to shift the features around. Quantum GIS is a free and open-source GIS that can do this for you. Help for that can be found on gis.stackexchange.com!
If you're willing to use javascript, jQuery more specifically, here is a nice plug-in/tutorial on how to do what it seems like you'd like to. http://playground.mobily.pl/jquery/mobily-map.html. It won't do the states exactly, but it will allow you to drop pins and such.
Update: This seems to be exactly what you're looking for: http://playground.mobily.pl/tutorials/building-an-interactive-map-with-raphael.html. It includes a rather indepth tutorial as well.
Here is another interactive US map I found myself: http://www.fla-shop.com/products/html5/united-states/us/ It is purely javascript with customizable popups.
I want to create a navigation application but can't found any icons/symbols that suitable for my needs, i just hope i can find some icons with consistent style like what we currently see in google maps or garmin.
Thanks
If you're interested in making your own icons, I recently found an editor I like. I am not affiliated in any way with the developer:
IcoFX - The Free Icon Editor
I found one interesting icons set with consistent style, not original google maps icons/symbology though. Could anyone help me where i can find all icon used on google maps?
