(Spotfire) Image Layer change in map chart

[Jungwoo Kim]

Hi, I'm using Spotfire 10.10.6.58 Version and I wanna know some possibility of customizing function in Spotfire.

Here's the thing.

1. Make Button using Text area or Tree Map

2. When I click that buttons, Image Layer in Map Chart changes

(Example. If I click the "Factory 1" Button, "Factory 1" Image Layer appears in Map Chart.

If I click the "Factory 2" Button, "Factory 2" Image Layer appears in Map Chart.)

Hello Jungwoo!

There is already an example for how to do that in the IronPython script examples page in the community (https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/IronPython-Scripting-in-TIBCO-Spotfire)

"IronPython script to Toggle Map Layer Visibility"

https://community.spotfire.com/s/article/ironpython-script-toggle-map-layer-visibility

I tested it and confirmed that it works fine in Spotfire 10.10.

Note: I also recommend upgrading to a more recent version of Spotfire. Not only are you missing out on a very great amount of new features in the more recent releases, but also important updates affecting security and stability.

Hello Fredrik!

​

Thank you your assistance. I perfectly understand it and it works smoothly.

Sorry but, then, I have another question related previous thing and wanna know sample code.

Here's the thing.

1. Make Button using Text area or Tree Map

2. When I click that buttons, Image Layer and Marker Layer in Map Chart changes simuteneously.

(Example. If I click the "Factory 1" Button, "Factory 1" Image Layer and "Factory 1" Marker Layer apperas in Map Chart.

If I click the "Factory 2" Button, "Factory 2" Image Layer and "Factory 2" Marker Layer apperas in Map Chart.)

Hi Jungwoo,

The example script is already prepared for that (toggling multiple layers at once) so you just need to enter the correct layer names in script row 11:.

from Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Visuals import * 
from Spotfire.Dxp.Application.Visuals.Maps import * 
 
myMap = myMap.As[VisualContent]() #myMap is a script parameter you must assign to your map visualization
 
for lyr in myMap.Layers: 
 if (lyr.Title == "IL_Factory1") or (lyr.Title == "ML_Factory1"): #Enter each layer to remain VISIBLE here, separated by "or" statement. Alternatively, use only one layer and remove "or" statement
	lyr.Enabled = True
 else:
	lyr.Enabled = False
 
#to do multiple maps at once, copy/paste code starting at line 8 but use with a different script parameter (e.g. "myMap2")

Example:

Let's say we have

Factory1:

Image Layer: IL_Factory1

Marker Layer: ML_Factory1

Factory2:

Image Layer: IL_Factory2

Marker Layer: ML_Factory2

In your Factory1 script, you would then use

if (lyr.Title == "IL_Factory1") or (lyr.Title == "ML_Factory1") (in row 11 in the script above)

In your Factory2 script, you would then use

if (lyr.Title == "IL_Factory2") or (lyr.Title == "ML_Factory2")
