Name Type Default Description center geo.geoPosition optional A new map center. zoom number optional A new map zoom level. zoomOrigin geo.geoPosition optional An origin to use when zooming to a new zoom level. rotation number optional A new map rotation. duration number 1000 optional Transition duration in milliseconds. ease function optional Easing function for the transition. This is in the style of a d3 easing function. interp function optional Function to use when interpolating between values. This gets passed two arrays, the start and end values for [x, y, z or zoom, rotation], and returns a function that, when passed a time value returns an array of the interpolated [x, y, z or zoom, rotation] values. zCoord boolean optional If true, convert zoom values to z values for interpolation. done function optional If specified, call this function when a transition completes. The function is called with an object that contains cancel: a boolean if the transition was canceled, source: a value based on what canceled a transition, transition: the current transition that just completed, next: a boolean if another transition follows immediately.
gcs	string | geo.transform | null	optional Input gcs. undefined to use the interface gcs, null to use the map gcs, or any other transform. Applies only to opts.center and to converting zoom values to height, if specified.

Cancel any existing transition. The transition will send a cancel event at the next animation frame, but no further activity occurs.

Name	Type	Description
source	string	optional Optional cause of the cancel. This can be any value, but something like (method name).(action) is recommended to allow other functions to determine the source and cause of the transition being canceled.

Fires:

• geo.event.transitioncancel

Returns:

Type	Description
boolean	true if a transition was in progress.

unitsPerPixel(zoom, unit){number|this}

map.js, line 184

Get/set the number of world space units per display pixel at the given zoom level.

Name	Type	Default	Description
zoom	number	0	optional The target zoom level.
unit	number		optional nullable If present, set the unitsPerPixel at the specified zoom level. Otherwise return the current value.

Returns:

Type	Description
number | this

updateAttribution(){this}

map.js, line 1670

Update the attribution notice displayed on the bottom right corner of the map. The content of this notice is managed by individual layers. This method queries all of the visible layers and joins the individual attribution notices into a single element. By default, this method is called on each of the following events:

• geo.event.layerAdd
• geo.event.layerRemove

In addition, layers should call this method when their own attribution notices have changed. Users, in general, should not need to call this.

Returns:

Type	Description
this	Chainable.

worldToDisplay(c){geo.screenPosition|Array.<geo.screenPosition>}

map.js, line 817

Convert from world coordinates to display coordinates using the attached camera.

Name	Type	Description
c	geo.worldPosition | Array.<geo.worldPosition>	The input coordinate to convert.

Returns:

Type	Description
geo.screenPosition | Array.<geo.screenPosition>	Display space coordinates.

worldToGcs(c, gcs){geo.geoPosition|Array.<geo.geoPosition>}

map.js, line 773

Convert from map world coordinates to gcs coordinates.

Name	Type	Description
c	geo.worldPosition | Array.<geo.worldPosition>	The input coordinate to convert.
gcs	string | geo.transform | null	optional output gcs. undefined to use the interface gcs, null to use the map gcs, or any other transform.

Returns:

Type	Description
geo.geoPosition | Array.<geo.geoPosition>	GCS space coordinates.

zoom(val, origin, ignoreDiscreteZoom){number|this}

map.js, line 414

Get/Set zoom level of the map.

Name	Type	Description
val	number	optional If undefined, return the current zoom level. Otherwise, the new zoom level to set.
origin	object	optional If present, specifies the center of the zoom; otherwise the map's display center is used. Name Type Description geo geo.geoPosition The gcs coordinates of the zoom center. map geo.screenPosition The display coordinates of the zoom center.
ignoreDiscreteZoom	boolean	optional If true, ignore the discreteZoom option when determining the new view.

Fires:

• geo.event.zoom
• geo.event.pan

Returns:

Type	Description
number | this

zoomAndCenterFromBounds(bounds, rotation, gcs){geo.zoomAndCenter}

map.js, line 1446

Get the center zoom level necessary to display the given bounds.

Name	Type	Description
bounds	geo.geoBounds	The requested map bounds. right must be greater than left and bottom must be greater than top in the map's gcs (after conversion from the provided gcs).
rotation	number	Rotation in clockwise radians.
gcs	string | geo.transform | null	optional undefined to use the interface gcs, null to use the map gcs, or any other transform.

Returns:

Type	Description
geo.zoomAndCenter

zoomRange(arg, noRefresh){object|this}

map.js, line 1057

Get or set the min/max zoom range.

Name	Type	Description
arg	object	optional The zoom range. Name Type Description min number optional The minimum zoom level. max number optional The maximum zoom level.
noRefresh	boolean	optional If true, don't update the map if the zoom level has changed.

Returns:

Type	Description
object | this	The current zoom range or the map object. The min value is the minimum value that the map can go to based on the current dimensions and settings, the origMin value is the value that was specified via this function or when the map was created.

innerhandleBrowserHidden()

map.js, line 915

Trigger an event when the browser is hidden or unhidden.

See geo.map.trackBrowserHidden.

innerlayerZIndexSort(a, b){number}

map.js, line 1598

Comapare two layers by zIndex. If the zIndex is the same, the order in the parent element is used. If the two layers don't have the same parent (for instance, one layer isn't attached to the map), layers in the map are sorted below detached layers.

Name	Type	Description
a	geo.layer	First layer to compare.
b	geo.layer	Second layer to compare.

Returns:

Type	Description
number	Positive if a is above b.

innertrackBrowserHidden(enable)

map.js, line 937

Track when the browser tab is hidden or unhidden.

Based on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API as accessed on 2019-10-24.

Name	Type	Description
enable	boolean	optional If false, remove the event listener.
