Vector Items

• Jul 14, 2022

Vector items allow you to show different shapes such as pushpins, bubbles, pie charts, lines, and etc. on a map. The Map Control uses vector layers to store vector items. The Vector Data section contains guides that describe how to provide vector data to a map and customize vector items’ appearance.

The following image shows how to use bubbles to display information about earthquakes. The bubbles’ sizes are proportional to the magnitude, their color indicate the year when earthquake occurred, and geographical coordinates define their location.
