A choropleth map is a type of thematic map in which administrative areas are
colored or shaded according to a data value. You can use a
google.maps.FeatureStyleFunction
to style a map based on a dataset where each administrative area is associated
with a range of numeric values. The following example map shows a choropleth map
depicting state population data for the United States.
In this example, the data consists of an array of key-value pairs, matching
the display name of each state with a numeric population value. The
maps.FeatureStyleFunction conditionally colors each region based on the
values in the array.
TypeScript
featureLayer.style = featureStyleFunctionOptions => {
const placeFeature = featureStyleFunctionOptions.feature as google.maps.PlaceFeature;
const population = states[placeFeature.placeId];
let fillColor;
// Specify colors using any of the following:
// * Named ('green')
// * Hexadecimal ('#FF0000')
// * RGB ('rgb(0, 0, 255)')
// * HSL ('hsl(60, 100%, 50%)')
if (population < 2000000) {
fillColor = 'green'
} else if (population < 5000000) {
fillColor = 'red'
} else if (population < 10000000) {
fillColor = 'blue'
} else if (population < 40000000) {
fillColor = 'yellow'
}
return {
fillColor,
fillOpacity: 0.5
}
}
JavaScript
featureLayer.style = (featureStyleFunctionOptions) => {
const placeFeature = featureStyleFunctionOptions.feature;
const population = states[placeFeature.placeId];
let fillColor;
// Specify colors using any of the following:
// * Named ('green')
