source property

MapElement source
final

Shows legend for the bubbles or shapes.

Information provided in the legend helps to identify the data rendered in the map shapes or bubbles.

By default, legend will not be shown.

Legend for shape

MapElement.shape shows legend for the shapes.

If MapShapeSource.shapeColorMappers is not null, then MapColorMapper.color and MapColorMapper.text will be used for the legend item's icon and the legend item's text respectively.

If MapShapeSource.shapeColorMappers is null, the color returned in the MapShapeSource.shapeColorValueMapper will be applied to the legend item's icon and the legend item's text will be taken from the MapShapeSource.shapeDataField.

In a rare case, if both the MapShapeSource.shapeColorMappers and the MapShapeSource.shapeColorValueMapper properties are null, the legend item's text will be taken from the MapShapeSource.shapeDataField property and the legend item's icon will have the default color.

Legend for bubbles

MapElement.bubble shows legend for the bubbles.

If MapShapeSource.bubbleColorMappers is not null, then MapColorMapper.color and MapColorMapper.text will be used for the legend item's icon and the legend item's text respectively.

If MapShapeSource.bubbleColorMappers is null, the color returned in the MapShapeSource.bubbleColorValueMapper will be applied to the legend item's icon and the legend item's text will be taken from the MapShapeSource.shapeDataField.

In a rare case, if both the MapShapeSource.bubbleColorMappers and the MapShapeSource.bubbleColorValueMapper properties are null, the legend item's text will be taken from the MapShapeSource.shapeDataField property and the legend item's icon will have the default color.
