map-reporting
Generate SVG images with interactive areas to display geographic data. Map-reporting is available for both Node.js and the browser: either generate SVG files on the server or let it build an SVG inside any div-like HTML element.

This library was developed at Benbria, it's a great place to work and they actively contribute to open source software.
Installation
####Node.js
npm install map-reporting
####Browser
bower install map-reporting
or
<script type="text/javascript" src="map-reporting.min.js"></script>
Usage
####Node.js
var mapReporting = require("map-reporting");
svg = mapReporting.generateMap(config, zones).toString();
####Browser
mapReporting.generateMap(config, zones).toDOM(container);
document.getElementById("mydiv").innerHTML = mapReporting.generateMap(config, zones).toString();
container
is a reference or the id (string without the '#') of the element in which the SVG will be generated
map-reporting seamlessly handles multiple maps on the same page, in any combination of inlined, linked and generated-on-the-fly. It doesn't pollute the page's JavaScript or CSS.
Config
config
is an object with the following structure:

}
Zones
zones
is an array of objects with the following structure:
[
{"ID":"A", "link":"http://google.com/?q=Aisles", "name":"Aisles", "coordinates":"[97,157];[370,157];[370,355];[97,355]", "value":0},
{"ID":"B", "link":"http://google.com/?q=Checkout", "name":"Checkout", "coordinates":"[182,384];[182,411];[361,411];[361,384]", "value":15},
{"ID":"C", "link":"http://google.com/?q=Medical", "name":"Medical", "coordinates":"[31,231];[75,231];[75,379];[152,379];[152,411];[31,411]", "value":30},
{"ID":"D", "link":"http://google.com/?q=Raw ingredients", "name":"Raw ingredients", "coordinates":"[76,64];[615,64];[615,134];[76,136]", "value":45},
{"ID":"E", "link":"http://google.com/?q=Bakery", "name":"Bakery", "coordinates":"[381,157];[438,157];[438,234];[567,234];[567,255];[438,255];[440,414];[381,414]", "value":60},
{"ID":"F", "link":"http://google.com/?q=Produce", "name":"Produce", "coordinates":"[453,157];[615,157];[617,315];[584,315];[584,223];[453,224]", "value":75},
{"ID":"G", "link":"http://google.com/?q=Prepared meals", "name":"Prepared meals", "coordinates":"[453,265];[565,265];[565,321];[618,321];[618,436];[585,436];[585,417];[453,417]", "value":90},
{"ID":"H", "link":"http://google.com/?q=Café", "name":"Café", "coordinates":"[368,424];[406,424];[406,468];[449,468];[449,453];[502,453];[502,495];[368,495]", "value":""}
]
All the fields are strings except for value
.
ID must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".").
Value must be between 0 and 100. To indicate lack of data, enter -1 or an empty string.
Coordinates
Enter the coordinates of each zone in a clock-wise order.
Drawing a rectangle is as easy as [x1,y1];[x2,y2];[x3,y3];[x4,y4]
Each coordinate is separated by ;
.
If a zone is made of 2 distinct parts, separate each part by ;;;
. Look at Zone 8 for an example of a multipart zone.
There's 2 types of advanced coordinates: arcs and pies.
Arc
arc[[startx,starty],[endx,endy],[pointx,pointy]]
[pointx,pointy]
is a point anywhere on the arc.
The arc will be a half-ellipse drawn from the start point to the end point, passing through the specified third point.
Pie
pie[[startx,starty],[endx,endy],[centerx,centery]]
A pie is a circle (or part of a circle) drawn from the start point to the end point with the specified center point.
Raw
It's also possible to simply enter raw SVG path "d-attribute" code instead of using the syntax described above.
Example of "d-attribute code":
``M 899 359 L 1061 358 L 1061 373 A 24.5 25 -90 0 1 1061 422 L 1061 437 L 899 437 L 899 425 A 27 19 -90 0 0 899 371 Z```
Styling
The maps can be further customized with CSS.
The default values in embeddedCSS.coffee can be overriden with a <style>
tag in your HTML page. Every map is part of the class .mapReporting
.
It is also possible to embed CSS into the SVG itself by passing a JSON object having the following structure into config.styling
:
{
"#myselector .abc" : {
"stroke" : "#00FF00",
"stroke-width" : 3
},
"path .thisisanotherselector" : {
"some-key" : "somevalue"
}
}
