Bubble in Blazor Maps Component

31 Jan 202216 minutes to read

Bubbles in the Maps control represents the underlying data values of the Maps. It can be scattered throughout the Maps shapes that contain values in the data source. Bubbles are enabled by setting the Visible property of MapsBubble to true. To add bubbles to the Maps, bind the data source to the DataSource property of the MapsBubble and set the field name, that contains the numerical data, in the data source to the ValuePath property.

Blazor Maps with Bubbles

Bubble shapes

The following types of shapes are available to render the bubbles in Maps.

  • Circle
  • Square

By default, bubbles are rendered in the Circle type. To change the type of the bubble, set the BubbleType property of MapsBubble as Square to render the square shape bubbles.

Blazor Maps with Custom Bubbles

Setting colors to the bubbles from the data source

The color for each bubble in the Maps can be set using the ColorValuePath property of MapsBubble. The value for the ColorValuePath property is the field name from the data source of the MapsBubble which contains the color values.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Maps

<SfMaps>
    <MapsLayers>
        <MapsLayer ShapeData='new {dataOptions ="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/maps/map-data/world-map.json"}'
                   ShapeDataPath="Name" ShapePropertyPath='new string[] {"name"}' TValue="Country">
            @* To add bubbles based on population count *@
            <MapsBubbleSettings>
                <MapsBubble Visible="true" ValuePath="Population" ColorValuePath="Color" MinRadius=20 MaxRadius=40 
                            DataSource="PopulationDetails" TValue="Country">
                </MapsBubble>
            </MapsBubbleSettings>
        </MapsLayer>
    </MapsLayers>
</SfMaps>

@code{
    public class Country
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public double Population { get; set; }
        public string Color { get; set; }
    };
    public List<Country> PopulationDetails = new List<Country> {
       new Country
       {
           Name = "United States", Population = 325020000, Color = "#b5e485"
       },
       new Country
       {
           Name = "Russia", Population = 142905208, Color = "#7bc1e8"
       },
       new Country
       {
           Name = "India", Population = 1198003000, Color = "#df819c"
       }
    };
}

Changing Bubbles Color in Blazor Maps

Setting the range of the bubble size

The size of the bubbles is calculated from the values got from the ValuePath property. The range for the radius of the bubbles can be modified using MinRadius and MaxRadius properties.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Maps

<SfMaps>
    <MapsLayers>
        <MapsLayer ShapeData='new {dataOptions ="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/maps/map-data/world-map.json"}'
                   DataSource="PopulationDetails" ShapeDataPath="Name" ShapePropertyPath='new string[] {"name"}' TValue="PopulationDetail">
            <MapsBubbleSettings>
                <MapsBubble Visible="true" ValuePath="Density" ColorValuePath="Color" MinRadius="5" MaxRadius="20"
                            DataSource="PopulationDetails" TValue="PopulationDetail">
                </MapsBubble>
            </MapsBubbleSettings>
        </MapsLayer>
    </MapsLayers>
</SfMaps>

@code {
    public class PopulationDetail
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public double Population { get; set; }
        public double Density { get; set; }
        public string Color { get; set; }
    };
    public List<PopulationDetail> PopulationDetails = new List<PopulationDetail> {
       new PopulationDetail
       {
           Name ="United States", Population = 325020000, Density = 33, Color="yellow"
       },
       new PopulationDetail
       {
           Name = "Russia", Population = 142905208, Density = 8.3, Color="red"
       },
       new PopulationDetail
       {
           Name="India", Population=1198003000, Density=364, Color="blue"
       }
    };
}

Blazor Maps with Different Bubble Size

Multiple bubble groups

Multiple groups of bubbles can be added in the Maps by adding multiple MapsBubble in the MapsBubbleSettings and customization for the bubbles can be done with the MapsBubble class. In the following example, the gender-wise population ratio is demonstrated with two different bubble groups.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Maps

<SfMaps>
    <MapsLayers>
        <MapsLayer ShapeData='new {dataOptions ="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/maps/map-data/world-map.json"}'

            @* To add multiple bubble groups *@
            <MapsBubbleSettings>
                <MapsBubble Visible="true" MinRadius="5" MaxRadius="20" ValuePath="FemaleRatio" ColorValuePath="FemaleRatioColor"
                            DataSource="GenderRatios" TValue="GenderRatio">
                </MapsBubble>
                <MapsBubble Visible="true" BubbleType="BubbleType.Circle" Opacity="0.4" MinRadius="15" MaxRadius="25" ValuePath="MaleRatio"

        public double FemaleRatio { get; set; }
        public double MaleRatio { get; set; }
        public string FemaleRatioColor { get; set; }
        public string MaleRatioColor { get; set; }
    }

    public List<GenderRatio> GenderRatios = new List<GenderRatio> {
        new GenderRatio {
            Country ="United States", FemaleRatio =50.50442726, MaleRatio =49.49557274, FemaleRatioColor ="green", MaleRatioColor = "blue"
        },
        new GenderRatio {

        }
    };
}

Blazor Maps with Multiple Bubble Groups

Enable tooltip for bubble

The tooltip for the bubbles can be enabled by setting the Visible property of the MapsBubbleTooltipSettings as true. The content for the tooltip can be set using the ValuePath property in the MapsBubbleTooltipSettings of the MapsBubble where the value for the ValuePath property is the field name from the data source of the MapsBubble. Any HTML element can be added as the template in tooltip using the TooltipTemplate property.
