I have a small problem with my Highcharts maps. I managed to get it plotting the data I want and even included a selector so the user can adjust which data series is shown. However, it appears that after rendering one particular series once, the Map is appending data objects to each series for those U.S. territories I don't have data for. My biggest series has 53 data objects (US States plus DC, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands) but after being rendered once the series shows up with 62 structures including those for which I didn't have data (Saint John, Saipan, etc.). This is causing problems with the snippet of code I use to change the state code to the hc-key format needed by this map. While I could just add some extra checks to that function, i would like to understand why Highcharts is adding data to my data structures. Any help would be most appreciated. My Javascript code is below:
<script type="text/javascript">

This is because in your mapData property you have this:
mapData: Highcharts.maps['countries/us/custom/us-all-territories'],
us-all-territories, but as you stated, you don't have the data for all of the territories.
The solution is to use a different custom map from Highcharts, unfortunately it doesn't look like they have one with only the US territories you are looking for.
Update: as the comment by Kacper has mentioned: If you set allAreas in series to false, then empty map zones will not be displayed. Example: http://jsfiddle.net/oen00hec/
I am attempting to take the example produced by Highcharts here http://www.highcharts.com/maps/demo/color-axis and substitute the data loaded by the $.getJson with a local JSON file called 'testdata1.json'.
The code I've modified below produces no errors yet the map does not render. I think it's because the testdata1.json is loaded late, after the javascript is executed. If so, is there a better way I should be doing this -- perhaps waiting for the data to load before executing the JS file? I attempted to do this by placing a
$(document).ready(
in front of the function but it didn't work. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated, I think it's something relatively minor that is just escaping me.
Thank you.

You have three problems. Here's a fiddle based on their sample that uses your approach, but still uses their data, and works: http://jsfiddle.net/g29k24vw/1/
Here are the important parts:
chart : {
renderTo: 'container',
borderWidth : 1,
type: 'map'
},
And:
$.getJSON('http://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename=us-population-density.json&callback=?', function (data) {
// Make codes uppercase to match the map data
$.each(data, function () {
this.code = this.code.toUpperCase();
});
options.series[0].data= data;
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart(options);
});
Note the differences here:
You need to specify the chart type in options if you're going to instantiate the chart object directly instead of using the jQuery helper.
renderTo doesn't want a hash in front of the element name.
options.series[0].data, not options.series.data...series is actually an array of objects.
I'm attempting to combine a couple of different chart demos from Highcharts.
My examples are: Data classes and popup and Small US with data labels
I want the map from the first with the popup feature of the second. I need to connect the map to my own google spreadsheet but for now I'm just trying to get the data from the first example to work.
This is what I have so far but can't seem to get any data in the map. I thought I had a joinBy problem, and I may still, but when I set joinBy to null I thought "the map items are joined by their position in the array", yet nothing happened.

UPDATE:
I wanted to share with everyone my final solution. Although Ondkloss did a magnificent job answering my question the popup feature still didn't work and this is because I forgot to include the jQuery for the .dialog call. Once I included that I had an empty popup with a highchart error 17, this is because the highmaps.js code doesn't include the pie chart class. So I had to add the highcharts.js code and include map.js module afterward. You can see my final jsfiddle here.
Thanks again to Ondkloss for the excellent answer!
The problem here mostly comes down to the use of joinBy. Also to correct it there are some required changes to your data and mapData.
Currently your joinBy is an array of strings, like ["al", "ak", ...]. This is quite simply not an accepted format of the joinBy option. You can read up on the details in the API documentation, but the simplest approach is to have a attribute in common in data and mapData and then supply a string in joinBy which then joins those two arrays by that attribute. For example:
series : [{
data : data,
mapData: mapData,
joinBy: "hc-key",
]
Here the "hc-key" attribute must exist in both data and mapData.
Here's how I'd create the data variable in your code:
var data = [];
$.each(keys, function (i, key) {
if(i != 0)
data.push({
"hc-key": "us-"+key,
code: key.toUpperCase(),
value: parseFloat(percent[i]),
name: names[i],
row: i
});
});
This skips the first key, which is just "Key" (the title of the column). Here we make the "hc-key" fit the format of the "hc-key" in our map data. An example would be "us-al". The rest is just metadata that will be joined in. Note that you were referencing your data in the options prior to filling it with data, so this has to be moved prior to this.
This is how I'd create the mapData variable in your code:
var mapData = Highcharts.geojson(Highcharts.maps['countries/us/custom/us-small']);
// Process mapdata
$.each(mapData, function () {
var path = this.path,
copy = { path: path };
// This point has a square legend to the right
if (path[1] === 9727) {
// Identify the box
Highcharts.seriesTypes.map.prototype.getBox.call(0, [copy]);
// Place the center of the data label in the center of the point legend box
this.middleX = ((path[1] + path[4]) / 2 - copy._minX) / (copy._maxX - copy._minX);
this.middleY = ((path[2] + path[7]) / 2 - copy._minY) / (copy._maxY - copy._minY);
}
// Tag it for joining
this.ucName = this.name.toUpperCase();
});
The first part is your "standard map data". The rest is to correctly center the labels for the popout states, and gotten directly from the example.
And voila, see this JSFiddle demonstration to witness your map in action.
I suggest doing some console.log-ing to see how data and mapData have the hc-key in common and that leads to the joining of the data in the series.
Highmaps / highcharts is a javascript/jquery adapter that renders maps in browsers etc.
I have a map with a single country highlighted, however, the scale of the (world) map is such that I want zoom in after the map is loaded on the country in question.
Looking at the API I feel certain this is possible.
There is an event listener, such that I can execute custom functions on load. As illustrated with this example, where a series is added on load (Js fiddle)
Additionally there is a method mapZoom allowing you to specify a point to zoom to with the following arguments:
mapZoom (Number howMuch, [Number centerX], [Number centerY], [Number mouseX], [Number mouseY])
But when I try and call this method onload (my code attempt below, JS fiddle here), nothing happens.
$(function () {
$.getJSON('http://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/jsonp.php?filename=world-population-density.json&callback=?', function (data) {
// Assign id's
$.each(data, function () {
this.id = this.code;
});
// Initiate the chart
$('#container').highcharts('Map', {
chart: {
events: {
load: function () {
mapZoom(0.5, 100, 100);
}
}
},
title: {
text: 'Zoom on load attempt'
},
legend: {
title: {
text: 'Population density per km²'
}
},
colorAxis: {
min: 1,
max: 1000,
type: 'logarithmic'
},
mapNavigation: {
enabled: true,
buttonOptions: {
verticalAlign: 'bottom'
}
},
series : [{
data : data,
mapData: Highcharts.maps['custom/world-highres'],
joinBy: ['iso-a2', 'code'],
name: 'Population density',
allowPointSelect: true,
cursor: 'pointer',
states: {
hover: {
color: '#BADA55'
}
},
tooltip: {
pointFormat: '{point.id} {point.name}',
valueSuffix: '/km²'
}
}]
});
});
});
mapZoom is a method that belongs to the chart object so, in order to call it as en event (load), you have to call it using this keyword.
You can edit your code like this (JSFiddle):
...
events: {
load: function () {
this.mapZoom(0.5, 100, 100);
}
}
}
...
Alternatively, you can call it whenever you want using a jQuery reference (JSFiddle):
$('#container').highcharts().mapZoom(0.5, 100, 100);
Zoom to a specific country on your map is easy
series : [{
...
data: [{code: 'HU', id: 'HU', value: 7.5, name: 'Hungary'}],
...
}
...and then...
var mapChart=$('#MapContainer').highcharts(); //get map chart object from DOM
mapChart.get('HU').zoomTo(); //zoom to the country using "id" from data serie
mapChart.mapZoom(5); //elevate viewpoint a little to see surrounding countries as well
If you want to zoom several countries, than you can try this
events: {
load: function () {
var mapChart = this;
['DE', 'HU', 'RO'].map(function(code){
return mapChart.get(code);
}).reduce(function(acc, current){
// Set map bounds
acc._minX = isNaN(acc._minX) ? current._minX : Math.min(acc._minX, current._minX);
acc._maxX = isNaN(acc._maxX) ? current._maxX : Math.max(acc._maxX, current._maxX);
acc._minY = isNaN(acc._minY) ? current._minY : Math.min(acc._minY, current._minY);
acc._maxY = isNaN(acc._maxY) ? current._maxY : Math.max(acc._maxY, current._maxY);
return acc;
}).zoomTo();
}}
