amMap & FusionMaps Integration

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi All

I am currently evaluating these 2 GIS tools to be used as extension objects with QV10 . I would appreciate if any other developer has

had success with embedding either in a QV DOC . I like them both as their functionality allow color fill to map regions based on

color value tied to external data. ( ie sales, population - format XML,CSV etc) .

Hi Mike,

I've done some work wiht Fusion Charts Free and I'm sure that Maps can't be too different.

I've attached a my extension and QVW file. The bad news is that the extension is pretty basic (in terms of taking advantage of fusion charts full functionality). The good news is that the extension totals about 20 lines of code and is pretty well documented.

I'll be doing a full writeup/tutorial on this extension later and we'll add it to the QlikView SDK when it's all done.

Let me know if you have any issues getting it working or if you have any suggestions for improvements.

Regards,

Dan

Hi Dan,

I looked at your example.

I wonder how we can sort the Sales number in either asc/desc order. I even tried placing an "ORDER BY Sales desc" statement in the LOAD script but it didn't made and any difference in the sales order of the extension. It looks like the extension loads data using the Dimension used in alphabetical ascending order. Is there an attribute in either the definition or properties file that you can use to order data in extensions ? I am thinking that to achieve a desired order, one would have to programmatically do that in the script.js file.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hi Dan,

Thank you first of all for your code sample .Your example works great for the 3d chart swf file you've chosen . I did manage to migrate most of your code to implementing a FusionMaps version and could get the map of USA to come up correctly inside QV. However thats where the code similarities end . I believe the js code for the internal xml generation needs specific parameters written to do color range fills among other map features. I will continue work on it as a background job when my workload permits . Meanwhile back to your FusionChart extension though I think it offers a very nice dynamic chart object to QV 10 and I look forward to using it for my clients when you finally publish it in the SDK

Regards

Mike

Hi Dan,

I did finally successfully add a QV extension for FusionMaps , your example was most helpful. I do also agree also that to exploit the full functionality of either objects FusionCharts or FusionMaps there would be a a lot more js coding required. However for my particular app requirement ,( color fill US map states vs value) the additional coding wasn't too long but limited .

Thanks Again

Mike

Hi Mike,

Can you please upload the .QVW file and .QAR with which you have implemented the FusionMap as an extension.

Thanks,
