I have MapServer working but from reading Polymap's documentation it doesn't have a WMS specific layer? I know about the image layer but I don't think it can be used as it doesn't generate the expected WMS request?

Thanks

Ability to zoom and move to specific bounds (probably accepting an array of [sw, ne]) would be useful. Ideally with optional parameter for padding, for aesthetic purposes.

PolyMaps is great – clean smart code. But looking at the code I see that PolyMaps is inlining svg into html without using the SVG namespace, something that has never been known to be very hygienic! This is part of the reason that PolyMaps does not work in IE9. Should be quick fix. Thanks.

I would like to create a map which displays a route passing through several points. I would then like to clone this route (a series of polylines) and animate it by filling the polyline with another colour. The fill would extend as far as a user has travelled along the route.

Would something like this be possible using polymaps?

Firefox 11 update breaks longstanding SVG transformation. This seems to suggest Firefox is enforcing something not enforced in the past, and so ignoring certain statements.

I ran into a bit of a problem while putting together a quick map of some dots on dotspotting today: they're in the wrong place. Here's a gist to check out. That cluster of red dots on the left should be on top of the US. It's hard to say without digging deeper, but it looks like the whole layer's x translation is off by about the size of the map.

Could be a problem with spanning the international date line?

Sorry, that I can't figure out how to push to my other branch with my other pull request.

This branch has the changes suggested in the conversation from my last pull request: https://github.com/simplegeo/polymaps/pull/64

Mainly there is a new "zoom" mode called pan which makes the map pan instead of zoom when a mouse wheel is used. I agree that keeping to the existing API is best even if it isn't semantically accurate for the zoom method. Maybe adding a mode function and having the zoom function be a copy of it and updating the documentation would be good. That way you could slowly transition to something more semantic but wouldn't have to do it now. You could even add a deprecation warning to those using an unminified version of polymaps.js.

I love Polymaps and would like to use it in my next project. I'm playing around with Polymaps + Tilestache which is amazingly powerful!

Unfortunately there seem to be two issues

1. Activity on the git repo seems to have reduced to zero for quite some time.
2. Many Polymap examples are not working correctly in Firefox and IE9. E.g. the window for the map is very small and panning works properly within that for http://polymaps.org/ex/unemployment.html in Firefox -- this leads me to believe that the underlying incompatibilities are not significant.

Things work correctly in Chrome and Safari.

I know this is a open source project -- I should probably try to fix these issues myself -- currently I don't know the code base very well. Maybe in the future ... but not currently!

Can you provide a roadmap of what you would like to do for Polymaps in the future?

Hi there,

I would like to listen for click events on my map but I am unsure as of how to prevent the map move event from triggering a click event once a map drag has finished.

Is there a way to do that?

I am dynamically adding and removing layers of points and polygons to the map. Adding and removing works great, but sometimes a polygon layer covers up the compass controls, preventing the user from being able to navigate the map.

I have unsuccessfully tried to set the z-index for .compass. Looks like z-index doesn't work for SVGs? I have also tried to remove and re-add the compass to the map, after the new layer has loaded.

   var compass = map.add(po.compass().pan("none"));
   map.remove(compass)

Unfortunately, map.remove(compass) fails to remove the compass from the map. This throws the 'x-map is not a function' error. Any suggestions on how to force the compass to the top of the map layer order?

As a sub-question, what about determining the order of other layers? If every layer has a unique id, what is the best approach to re-order the layers?

Thanks

Where I can find supported browsers? I don't know if polympas support IE but it didn't work at all in IE7 and IE6 however in documentation there is sentence

"[...]use Scalable Vector Graphics. Existing libraries are hamstrung by the need to support antiquated browsers, in particular IE6"

So I presume that Polymaps is designed to support "antiquated browsers"?

With new browser adoption, computer and phone getting more powerfull, google maps that is expensive, openstreetmap getting better, is there not a path for polymaps ?

I see a bunch of errors like these displayed in the browser console when accessing for example http://polymaps.org/ex/unemployment.html:

unemployment.html:1 Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://polymaps.appspot.com/state/4/4/5.json' from origin 'http://polymaps.org' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. polymaps.appspot.com/state/4/4/5.json:1 Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

Hi,

Is navigation image viewport feature provided for the main viewport.If yes,does the navigation viewport supports drag on main viewport and drags to same position in navigation viewport?

I want source code for image viewer as map which on click on image areas...show same image as of are selected.For more please see link http://epaper.jagran.com/homepage.aspx

I want to create same thing as in the link below.

Thanks, Nitzz
