Display Shapes

In This Topic

You can add shapes on the map using zipped KML files (KMZ). The following code uses a KMZ file to add shapes on the map:

C#	Copy Code
var vl = MapReader.LoadKmlFile("WorldMap.kmz", (vector, data) => { var name = data["name"] as string; vector.Tag = name; // customizing the vector data var fillColor = data[KmlReader.StyleFillColor] as string; if (fillColor != null) { vector.Style.BackColor = MapReader.GetKmlStyleColor(fillColor); } var placemark = vector as C1.Win.Map.VectorPlacemark; if (placemark != null) { placemark.Marker.Caption = name; placemark.Lod = new LOD(0, 0, 2, 20); } }); vl.LabelVisibility = LabelVisibility.AutoHide; // can set default style for vectors and labels, instead of set the style through each vector vl.Style.Stroke.Color = Color.Blue; vl.Style.Stroke.Width = 1; vl.LabelStyle.ForeColor = Color.Green; c1Map1.Layers.Add(vl);

Copy Code

var vl = MapReader.LoadKmlFile("WorldMap.kmz", (vector, data) =>
{
    var name = data["name"] as string;
    vector.Tag = name;
    //  customizing the vector data
    var fillColor = data[KmlReader.StyleFillColor] as string;
    if (fillColor != null)
    {
        vector.Style.BackColor = MapReader.GetKmlStyleColor(fillColor);
    }
    var placemark = vector as C1.Win.Map.VectorPlacemark;
    if (placemark != null)
    {
        placemark.Marker.Caption = name;
        placemark.Lod = new LOD(0, 0, 2, 20);
    }
});
vl.LabelVisibility = LabelVisibility.AutoHide;
// can set default style for vectors and labels, instead of set the style through each vector
vl.Style.Stroke.Color = Color.Blue;
vl.Style.Stroke.Width = 1;
vl.LabelStyle.ForeColor = Color.Green;
c1Map1.Layers.Add(vl);

In the above code, we have referred a class named MapReader that we have created. This class reads the vector data from the KMZ file.

On adding shapes from a KMZ file, the map will look similar to the image given below:
