Mapviewer - Oracle Maps - JavaScript Client API
| mapviewer |
ORACLE MAPS is a newly developed Javascript library (as part of the Mapviewer.ear) with a lot of nice functions very similar to those we know from Google Maps. This puts us developers in the comfortable position to develop Web2.0 applications with the “location” and “maps” in the focus - and this very productive (means: quick and smart).
Example Oracle Maps The most important functions available for the maps:
- Move the map in the map-region by means of left-mouse-click down and moving mouse

- Marquee Zoom - zoom to a draw rectangular area (2 styles)
- Dynamic change of Marker styles
- Pie, Bar chart inside map (BI function) - circles (FOI) in map, size depending on FOI data (e.g. big circle: high revenue, small circle: low revenue)
- Bounding Theme –> all FOI's - zoom-out
