I’m not sure if this is quite the right forum but I’ve just started evaluating Map Suite. One of the things I’ve been tasked with is providing a colorized state display, similar to what is found here nationsencyclopedia.com/Americas/United-States-LOCATION-SIZE-AND-EXTENT.html.
It seems like this sort of thing is done via shape files, hence my wondering if there is a list of all the ones provided.
Going further, is it possible to provide a map display more precisely like that, where just the continental states are displayed along with Alaska and Hawaii in separate areas?
Colorized states / list of shape files
Hi Jay,
Looks like we have a sample which is very similar with your case, please check the online sample wiki.thinkgeo.com/wiki/Map_S…_Countries
In the sample, we are using value style to color the difference features/countries. The value style is based on a feature color column named “COLOR_MAP”, if you don’t have such columns, I think you may add a column for temporary during drawing.
If any questions, don’t hesitate to let us know.
Thanks,
Troy
