Adding a Map

To add new map, enter a name for the map in the name textbox, and click add. You will then be prsesented with a dialog box. Here you specify the data needed to draw the map. First, you need a geoJson compliant dataset that specifies the boundaries of the map.

Next, if you want to color the map based on some numeric value, you need a second dataset to specify the numbers to apply. The second dataset needs two fields, a field that has the name of a region specified in the geoJson data, and a field with a number. You speficy the region field in the Region textbox, and the color value field in the Color Value textbox.

Lastly, you should specify a palette. A palette is just a comma separated list of color values. You can enter this in manually, or you can open the palette chooser. When you open the palette chooser, you are presented a number of different color lists. Choose a list by clicking select. This will enter the list values in the palette textbox. You can edit the values after selecting. Then click add button, this will add the map.
