Usage

Create a Gridviz map using const map = new gridviz.Map(); and customise it with the methods described in the documentation below.

Here’s a basic example that loads a CSV file on Europe population (5km resolution):

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    //set position and zoom
    .setGeoCenter({ x: 4500000, y: 2900000 })
    .setZoom(3000)
    //add CSV layer
    .addCSVGridLayer(
        //data URL
        'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eurostat/gridviz/master/assets/csv/Europe/pop_2018_5km.csv',
        //resolution, in CRS unit (m)
        5000,
        //the style
        [
            new gridviz.SquareColorWGLStyle({
                //the CSV column to show
                colorCol: 'Population',
                //value to [0,1] mapping function, see [below](#stretching)
                tFun: (value) => gridviz.sExp(Math.min(value / 100000, 1), -15),
            }),
        ]
    )

(see online, see code)

Gridviz can display several layers on top of each others. Each layer is based on a single multi-resolution dataset, which can be displayed with several cartographic styles. For more information, see the examples.

Map Configuration

The following methods allow further configuration of a Gridviz map:

Method	Type	Default	Description
map.getGeoCenter() map.setGeoCenter([value])	{ x:number, y:number }	{ x:0, y:0 }	Get/set the geographical coordinates of the view center.
map.getZoom() map.setZoom([value])	number	1	Get/set the view zoom. This is expressed as the size of a pixel in ground distance.
map.getZoomExtent() map.setZoomExtent([value])	Array(number)	[0, Infinity]	Get/set the view zoom extent, in order to prevent the user to zoom in/out beyond some zoom levels.
map.getBackgroundColor() map.setBackgroundColor([value])	string	“white”	Get/set the map background color.
map.getBoundaryLayer() map.setBoundaryLayer([value])	LineLayer / object	undefined	A layer for boundary lines, see here.
map.getLabelLayer() map.setLabelLayer([value])	LabelLayer / object	undefined	A layer for labels (such as placenames), see here.
map.addBackgroundLayer([options])	object		Add a background image layer, see here.
map.addZoomButtons([options])	All properties are optional { id: `HTML element id`, class: `HTML element CSS class`, x: `CSS 'left' property`, y: `CSS 'top' property`, onZoom: `Custom event handler when user clicks zoom in or out`, delta: `The delta applied to each zoom event.` }	{ id: ‘gridviz-zoom-buttons’, x: map width - 50, y: 10, onZoom: undefined, delta: 0.2 }	Add zoom in and zoom out buttons to the viewer.

map.setViewFromURL()			Set view geo center and zoom from URL parameters x, y and z. For example, using the URL myPage.html?x=1000&y=2000&z=45 will force the viex to center to geographical coordinates (1000, 2000) and zoom 45.
map.redraw()			Force the map to redraw.
map.destroy()			Destroy the map, canvas, legend and tooltip and remove their event listeners.

Map options object

When building a gridviz map, in addition to the container element you can also specify an options object with the properties outlined in the table below.

For example:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv, {
    w: 600,
    h: 600,
    legendDivId: 'myLegendDiv',
    selectionRectangleColor: 'red',
    selectionRectangleWidthPix: () => '1',
    backgroundColor: 'white',
    tooltip: {
        fontSize: '1.2em',
        transitionDuration: 100,
    },
    onZoomStartFun: (event) => {
        console.log('pan/zoom start', event)
    },
    onZoomFun: (event) => {
        console.log('zoom', event)
    },
    onZoomEndFun: (event) => {
        console.log('pan/zoom end', event)
    },
})

Property	Type	Default	Description

Multi layer, multi style and multi scale mapping

A Gridviz map is organised as a stack of layers accessible through myMap.layers property. Each layer shows data from one single dataset myLayer.dataset, following a list of styles myLayer.styles. The map can adapt to the visualisation scale/zoom level with the following mechanisms:

Multi-resolution datasets can be defined, so that different grid resolutions can be shown depending to the zoom level, see the multi-scale datasets in the next section.
The layers and styles can be restricted to some scale, using their minZoom and maxZoom properties to define the zoom ranges for which they will be shown.
Most style parameters are not static values, but functions of various parameters, including the map , usually noted z (for “”) which represent the size of a pixel screen in ground meter. Style parameters can thus be defined depending on the zoom level so that they adapt to the visualisation scale.
Transparency can be defined at layer or style level with their alpha and blendOperation properties (see CanvasRenderingContext2D globalAlpha and globalCompositeOperation properties). These values are also not static, but functions of the z. It is thus possible to define the transparency depending on the zoom level,so that a layer or a style fades away when zooming in or out.

For further information, see the examples.

Adding data

Input data are tabular data, in CSV format.

For the position of the cell, two columns x and y must be specified, with the geographical coordinates of the lower left corner of the cell, expressed in the grid Coordinate Reference System. If this information is not explicitelly provided in the input data, it is however possible to compute it on-the-fly as explained here.

It is possible to specify different data sources for different zoom levels, so that the level of detail of the data can adapt to the zoom level. Tiled data can also be specified following the tiled format.

Are are several examples:

Single CSV file

This is the simplest case, when a unique CSV file is loaded. See the basic example above.

Multi scale CSV data

When several CSV files contain the data with different resolutions, it is possible to define a multi-scale dataset from those files. The change of dataset depending on the zoom level is controled with the minPixelsPerCell parameter:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    //set position and zoom
    .setGeoCenter({ x: 4500000, y: 2900000 })
    .setZoom(3000)
    //add multiscale CSV layer
    .addMultiScaleCSVGridLayer(
        //array of resolutions, in CRS unit (m)
        [5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000],
        //function which returns the URL for each resolution value
        (r) =>
            'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eurostat/gridviz/master/assets/csv/Europe/pop_2018_' +
            Math.round(r / 1000) +
            'km.csv',
        //the styles
        [
            new gridviz.SquareColorWGLStyle({
                colorCol: 'population',
                tFun: (value, resolution, stats) => gridviz.sExp(value / stats.max, -50),
            }),
        ],
        {
            //the maximum pixel size before jumping to a lower resolution
            minPixelsPerCell: 3,
        }
    )

(see online, see code)

Tiled data

For large datasets, it is recommended that you decompose them into different data chunks and index them by geographical location, as specified in the tiled format specification. The Gridviz map can then automatically retrieve only the useful data that falls into the viewer’s geographical extent. Here is an example of how to load such data:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    //set position and zoom
    .setGeoCenter({ x: 4500000, y: 2900000 })
    .setZoom(3000)
    //add multi scale tiled layer
    .addTiledGridLayer(
        //data URL
        'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgaffuri/tiledgrids/main/data/europe/population2/5000m/',
        //the styles
        [
            new gridviz.SquareColorWGLStyle({
                colorCol: 'TOT_P_2021',
                tFun: (value) => gridviz.sExp(Math.min(value / 100000, 1), -15),
            }),
        ]
    )

(see online, see code)

Multi scale tiled data

Multi scale tiled data based on the tiled format can also be simply loaded with the example below. Here again, the change of dataset depending on the zoom level is controled with the minPixelsPerCell parameter:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    //set position and zoom
    .setGeoCenter({ x: 4500000, y: 2900000 })
    .setZoom(3000)
    //add multi scale tiled layer
    .addMultiScaleTiledGridLayer(
        //array of resolutions, in CRS unit (m)
        [5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000],
        //function which returns the URL for each resolution value
        (r) =>
            'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgaffuri/tiledgrids/main/data/europe/population2/' + r + 'm/',
        //the styles
        [
            new gridviz.SquareColorWGLStyle({
                colorCol: 'TOT_P_2018',
                tFun: (value, resolution, stats) => gridviz.sExp(value / stats.max, -50),
            }),
        ],
        {
            //the maximum pixel size before jumping to a lower resolution
            minPixelsPerCell: 3,
        }
    )

(see online, see code)

Method	Arguments	Description
map.addCSVGridLayer([args])	See example	Add a layer from a CSV grid dataset.
map.addMultiScaleCSVGridLayer([args])	See example	Add a layer from a multi scale CSV grid dataset.
map.addTiledGridLayer([args])	See example	Add a layer from a tiled grid dataset.
map.addMultiScaleTiledGridLayer([args])	See example	Add a layer from a multi scale tiled grid dataset.

To manage creation of datasets and their possible reuse accross different layers (so that the data is loaded and stored once), the following methods are also available:

Method	Arguments	Description
map.addLayer([args])	-	Add a layer to the map.
map.makeCSVGridDataset([args])	-	Make a CSV grid dataset.
map.makeTiledGridDataset([args])	-	Make a tiled grid dataset.
map.makeMultiScaleCSVGridDataset([args])	-	Make a multi scale CSV grid dataset.
map.makeMultiScaleTiledGridDataset([args])	-	Make a multi scale tiled grid dataset.

Data pre-processing and filtering

Input data can be processed/transformed before it is being used by the Gridviz map in order to, for example:

Filter/simplify the data to keep only the necessary one. This allows saving client memory,
Extract/compute each cell coordinates into the x and y columns, in case the input data does not contain such columns explicitelly,
Compute a new column from the combination of existing ones, such as the ratio between two columns, or the aggregation of several columns,
Run some data conversions, simplifications, aggregations, etc.
Etc.

This process is run on each cell individually, only once, after the data has been downloaded.

Here is an example showing how to compute a new column on population change, as the difference between two columns TOT_P_2021 and TOT_P_2011. This new column is then used directly to be shown on the map:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    .setGeoCenter({ x: 4500000, y: 2900000 })
    .setZoom(3000)
    .addMultiScaleTiledGridLayer(
        [1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000],
        (r) =>
            'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgaffuri/tiledgrids/main/data/europe/population2/' + r + 'm/',
        [
            new gridviz.ShapeColorSizeStyle({
                /* style construction ... */
            }),
        ],
        {
            preprocess: (c) => {
                //for each cell, compute 2011 -> 2021 change and store it in a new "change" column
                if (!c.TOT_P_2011 && !c.TOT_P_2021) c.change = 0
                else if (!c.TOT_P_2011 && c.TOT_P_2021) c.change = +c.TOT_P_2021
                else if (c.TOT_P_2011 && !c.TOT_P_2021) c.change = -c.TOT_P_2011
                else c.change = c.TOT_P_2021 - c.TOT_P_2011
                //remove unused information
                delete c.TOT_P_2006
                delete c.TOT_P_2011
                delete c.TOT_P_2018
                delete c.TOT_P_2021
            },
            minPixelsPerCell: 3,
        }
    )

(see online, see code)

Note that it is unfortunatelly currently not possible to compute new columns from the combination of two different datasets.

The preprocess function can also be used to remove/filter unnecessary cells and release memory resources. This can be achieved by returning false for the cells to remove.

Here is an example showing how to keep only the cells with specific values 41:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    .setGeoCenter({ x: 4500000, y: 2900000 })
    .setZoom(3000)
    .addMultiScaleTiledGridLayer(
        [500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000],
        (r) => 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jgaffuri/tiledgrids/main/data/europe/clc/' + r + 'm/',
        [
            /* define the style) */
        ],
        {
            minPixelsPerCell: 3,
            //select cells with clc=41
            preprocess: (c) => +c.clc == 41,
        }
    )

(see online, see code)

Basic styles

Shape/Color/Size Style

This style is a generic style which allows to define the shape, color and size of each grid cell, independantly according to 3 different variables. Three shapes are currently available: square, circle and donut (a disk with a hole of changing size). To show grid cells as small squares with only changing color, one of the styles based on web GL here or here should rather be used, for efficiency reasons.

See this example with changing size (code).

Kernel smoothing

This style allows applying a gaussian kernel smoothing to the input grid. Other styles can then be used on the smoothed grid - this style is thus more a ‘filter’ than a proper style.

Note that this style is available within the gridviz-smoothing extension which need to be added as: <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/gridviz-smoothing"></script>.

See this elementary example (code).

See this example (code).

Property	Type	Default	Description
value	function(cel):number		A function returning the value to consider for each cell. This is the value to be smoothed.
sigma	function(r, z):number		The smoothing parameter (gaussian standard deviation), in geographical unit, computed from the resolution r and the z. The larger, the more smoothed. Note that for too small values, the approximation degrades significantly.
factor	number	2	The smoothed grid may have a finer resolution than the input grid. This factor defines the smoothed grid resolution. When set to 1, the smoothed grid is exactly the screen resolution. Set to 2 to degrade the resolution to a factor 2. The higher, the more pixelised and the faster to compute.
filterSm	function(v):boolean		A filter function to filter the smoothed cells based on their smoothed value v. Return true to keep the cell, false otherwise.
sCol	string	“ksmval”	The name of the attribute where the smoothed value is stored in the output smoothed grid.
styles	Array(Style)		The styles to represent the smoothed grid.

The kernel smoothing computation relies on the fast-kde library, which produces smoothing approximation very fast. Note that the approximation degrades significantly for weak smoothing (for low sigma values).

Custom styles

Any need or idea for a new style ? feel free to ask or contribute !

Gridviz style library can easily be extended with new styles. See for example this custom style defined to draw cells as an arrow with a color depending on a statistical value population:

//create custom style
const customStyle = new gridviz.Style({

//define draw function
drawFun : (cells, resolution, cg) => {

    //draw each cell as an arrow
    //with a fill color depending on the property "population"
    for (let cell of cells) {
        //do not draw cells with no data or no population
        if (!cell.population) continue

        //set fill color as a shade from cyan to red depending on "population" property
        const t = Math.floor((255 * Math.round(Math.pow(cell.population / 1000000, 1 / 5) * 6)) / 6)
        cg.ctx.fillStyle = 'rgb(' + t + ',' + (255 - t) + ',' + (255 - t) + ')'

        //fill arrow
        cg.ctx.beginPath()
        //left point
        cg.ctx.moveTo(cell.x, cell.y)
        //bottom center point
        cg.ctx.lineTo(cell.x + resolution / 2, cell.y + resolution / 3)
        //right point
        cg.ctx.lineTo(cell.x + resolution, cell.y)
        //top center point
        cg.ctx.lineTo(cell.x + resolution / 2, cell.y + (resolution * 4) / 3)
        cg.ctx.fill()
    }
}
})

See online (code).

Legends

Gridviz offers different types of legends that are suited to different cartographic styles, namely:

ColorCategoryLegend
ColorDiscreteLegend
ColorLegend
SegmentOrientationLegend
SegmentWidthLegend
SizeLegend

The legends are appended to the div element specified in the legendDivId property in the App options object. If this is not specified then gridviz will generate one automatically.

Each layer style can have an array of legends.

To add a legend, simply push it to the corresponding legends array of that style, for example:

map.layers[0].styles[0].legends.push(
    new gridviz.SizeLegend({
        title: 'Number of inhabitants',
        exaggerationFactor: 0.8,
        shape: 'circle',
        fillColor: '#e54f37',
    })
)

For styling legends see Legend Styling.

ColorCategoryLegend

new gridviz.ColorCategoryLegend({
    title: 'Dominant leaf type',
    colCat: [
        ['#c6df58', 'None'],
        ['#9fd045', 'Mainly broadleaved'],
        ['#38a43b', 'Mainly coniferous'],
    ],
    shape: 'square',
})

ColorDiscreteLegend

new gridviz.ColorDiscreteLegend({
    title: 'Travel time to nearest health service, in minutes',
    colors: ['#FDFECC', '#B2E3AA', '#6AC5A4', '#4FA1A2', '#427C9A', '#3E5791', '#3D3562', '#281A2C'],
    breaksText: [5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, 60, 90],
    width: 300,
})

ColorLegend

new gridviz.ColorLegend({
    title: 'Number of inhabitants',
    width: 400,
    ticks: 5,
    colorScale: d3.interpolateOrRd,
    fun: (t, r, s) => s.max * gridviz.sExpRevInverse(t, -7),
})

SegmentOrientationLegend

new gridviz.SegmentOrientationLegend({
    title: 'Population change',
    labelUnitText: 'Strong increase',
    color: '#d13c4b',
    orientation: 60,
})

SegmentWidthLegend

new gridviz.SegmentWidthLegend({
    title: 'Population in 2021',
    labelUnitText: 'inhab.',
})

SizeLegend

new gridviz.SizeLegend({
    title: 'Number of inhabitants',
    exaggerationFactor: 0.8,
    shape: 'circle',
    fillColor: '#e54f37',
})

Legend styling

You can style each legend by using the ‘D3-like’ style() function after constructing your legend, like so:

new gridviz.SizeLegend({
    title: 'Number of inhabitants',
    exaggerationFactor: 0.8,
    shape: 'circle',
    fillColor: '#3E5791',
}).style('padding', '0px 5px')

Stretching

Most of Gridviz styles rely on a continuous mapping from a statistical variable to a visual variable (color, size, etc.). The statistical distribution can be stretched with one of the stretching functions listed below can be used. These functions have different properties and should be chosen according to the data distribution. The amplitude of the stretching can be adjusted with a parameter.

Stretching function	Description	Stretching parameter
powerScale	Polynomial function	Power exponent, from 0 to Infinity. No change: 1
logarithmicScale	Exponential function	Logarithmic base, from -Infinity to Infinity. No change: 0
powerInverseScale	Polynomial inverse function	Power exponent, from 0 to Infinity. No change: 1
exponentialScale	Exponential	Logarithmic base, from -Infinity to Infinity. No change: 0
circularScale	Circular	0: no stretching. 1: perfect circle section
circularInverseScale	Circular	0: no stretching. 1: perfect circle section

For more information, see the code.

WMS

To add a WMS background layer to a Gridviz map, use the following addBackgroundLayerWMS method:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    (...)
    .addBackgroundLayerWMS({
        url: 'https://sgx.geodatenzentrum.de/wms_basemapde?&service=WMS&request=GetMap&layers=de_basemapde_web_raster_grau&styles=&format=image%2Fjpeg&transparent=false&version=1.1.1&srs=EPSG%3A3035',

Foreground information

Showing labels

To show labels on top of a Gridviz map, use the following setLabelLayer method:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    (...)
    .setLabelLayer({
        url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eurostat/euronym/main/pub/v2/UTF/50/EUR.csv",
         preprocess: lb => {
            //project from geo coordinates to ETRS89-LAEA
            const p = proj([lb.lon, lb.lat])
            lb.x = p[0]; lb.y = p[1];
            delete lb.lon; delete lb.lat;
        },
        style: (lb, z) => {
            //select label based on 
            if (lb.rs < z) return;

    })

(see online, see code)

Input data need to be as a CSV table. Each row should correspond to a label, with a x and y column for the label position, and a name column for the text to write. The data can be restructured on the fly after loading to meet this requirement using the preprocess function.

For European grids based on ETRS89-LAEA CRS, the gviz_es.getEuronymeLabelLayer() function from gridviz-eurostat module returns ready-to-use label layer settings based on Euronym which allow zoom dependant label selection.

The setLabelLayer method has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
url	string	undefined	The URL of the label CSV file. The file should contain the information for each label such as the text, the position and other information for the display of the label according to the zoom level. If necessary, this data can be reformated with the preprocess function.

preprocess	function(lb):boolean	undefined	A preprocess to run on each label after loading. It can be used to apply some specific treatment before, format the label data, project coordinates, etc. This method may also be used to filter unecessary label by returning false for the labels not to keep.

For more information, see the code.

Showing boundaries

To show boundaries on top of a Gridviz map, use the following setBoundaryLayer method:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    (...)
    .setBoundaryLayer({
        url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eurostat/Nuts2json/master/pub/v2/2021/3035/03M/nutsbn_3.json",
        color: (f, z) => {
            const p = f.properties
            if (p.co === "T") return "#888"

            const p = f.properties
            if (p.co === "T") return 0.5
            if (z < 400) return p.lvl == 3 ? 2.2 : p.lvl == 2 ? 2.2 : p.lvl == 1 ? 2.2 : 4
            else if (z < 1000) return p.lvl == 2 ? 1.8 : p.lvl == 1 ? 1.8 : 2.5

Input data are structured as a GeoJSON FeatureCollection of linear features.

The gviz_es.getEurostatBoundariesLayer() function from gridviz-eurostat module returns ready-to-use boundary layer settings based on Nuts2json datasets.

The setBoundaryLayer method has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
url	string	undefined	The URL of the boundaries GeoJSON file. The file should contain the information for each boundary line, the position and other information for the display of the boundary according to the zoom level. If necessary, this data can be reformated with the preprocess function.
preprocess	function(bn):void	undefined	A preprocess to run on each boundary after loading. It can be used to apply some specific treatment before, format the boundary data, project coordinates, etc.
color	function(bn,z):string	(f, z) => “gray”	A function returning the color of the boundary bn for z.
width	function(bn,z):string	(f, z) => 2	A function returning the width of the boundary bn for z.
lineDash	function(bn,z):string	(f, z) => undefined	A function returning the dash model of the boundary bn for z.

gridviz tooltip

A ‘tooltip’ shows information related to the selected grid cell. The information shown for each selected cell can be specified at layer level using the cellInfoHTML parameter. See for example:

new gridviz.Map(containerDiv)
    .setGeoCenter({ x: 4500000, y: 2900000 })
    .setZoom(500)
    .addCSVGridLayer(
        'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eurostat/gridviz/master/assets/csv/Europe/pop_2018_5km.csv',
        5000,
        [
            new gridviz.SquareColorWGLStyle({
                colorCol: 'population',
                tFun: (value) => Math.min(value / 50000, 1),
            }),
        ],
        {
            //tooltip content configuration
            cellInfoHTML: (c) => 'The population of this cell is: <b>' + c.population + '</b> !',
        }
    )

(see online, see code)

By default, the cellInfoHTML function is a function returning a list of all cell properties. In case several layers are defined, the cellInfoHTML function of the top layer is used. If it is not defined, then the layer the cellInfoHTML function of the layer below is used instead. If no cellInfoHTML function is defined for all layers, then no tooltip is shown.

You can adjust the tooltip settings by specifying a tooltip object in the map options, using the following properties:

Property	Type	Default	Description
opts.div	String	‘tooltip_eurostat’	Specify the div id to use as a tooltip. If unspecified, one is created automatically.
opts.parentElement	HTMLelement	document.body	Specify the HTML element to which the tooltip will be appended
opts.transitionDuration	string	100	The duration in ms of the tooltip transition animation.
opts.xOffset	number	30	The X offset to apply to the position of the tooltip container.
opts.yOffset	number	20	The Y offset to apply to the position of the tooltip container.
opts.xMouseOffset	number	0	The X offset to apply to the position of the mouse when hovering a cell.
opts.yMouseOffset	number	0	The Y offset to apply to the position of the mouse when hovering a cell.
opts.maxWidth	string	20em	The max width of the tooltip.
opts.fontSize	string	1.2em	The tooltip font size.
opts.background	string	‘white’	The background color of the tooltip
opts.padding	string	‘5px’	The tooltip padding.
opts.border	string	‘0px’	The tooltip border CSS property.
opts.border-radius	string	‘5px’	The tooltip border-radius.
opts.box-shadow	string	‘5px 5px 5px grey’	The tooltip box-shadow.
opts.font-family	string	‘Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif’	The tooltip font-family.

Leaflet

Gridviz can be used with leaflet by using the leaflet-gridviz plugin

Usage:

// import leaflet-gridviz after importing leaflet
;<script src="https://www.unpkg.com/leaflet-gridviz"></script>

// create your leaflet map
let map = new L.Map('map', {
    center: ['50.00754', '19.98211'],
})

// define your leaflet-gridviz layer
let gridvizLayer = new L.GridvizLayer(AppOptions)

// add it to the map
gridvizLayer.addTo(map)

//then customize it as you wish by using the gridviz map attached to our GridvizLayer...
gridvizLayer.map.addMultiScaleTiledGridLayer(etc)

Alright?
