Adding XYZ tile layer basemap to ECharts geo?

[Will Wright <WW...@atlantaregional.org>]

Hello,

My name is Will Wright, and I’m a web developer and engineer at the Atlanta Regional Commission. I have loved using Apache ECharts for data visualizations and always get good feedback when I’ve used it in the past for visualizations. Thank you for all the hard work your team has put into making an amazing data visualization library!

I do have a feature request. I would like to be able to create an ECharts choropleth map, such as the demo map of Hong Kong population density found here<https://echarts.apache.org/examples/en/editor.html?c=map-HK>, but then have the ability to add an XYZ tile layer as a basemap, such as those from CartoDB<https://carto.com/basemaps>. This would greatly enhance ECharts’ already amazing data visualizations. Is this possible, or is this feature on the roadmap for future development?

Thank you kindly!

Will Wright

Hi,

Thanks for liking Apache ECharts. We have several map extensions at
https://echarts.apache.org/en/download-extension.html which you should
probably try with and decide which one you like best.

Thanks
