format with zoom
feature. The map automatically scales on small window sizes. Vector maps work in all modern browsers, including Internet Explorer since it uses native browser technologies like JavaScript, CSS, HTML, SVG or VML. No Flash or any other proprietary browser plug-in is required. Also this allows vector maps to work in all modern mobile browsers.
Example of a choropleth
world map. A choropleth map is a thematic map in which areas are shaded or patterned in proportion to the measurement of the statistical variable being displayed on the map. The choropleth map provides an easy way to visualize how a measurement varies across a geographic area or it shows the level of variability within a region. This example displays GDP by country, data stored in json
file.
