Image outside of div in infobubble - html

I am working on Google Map and showing an InfoWindow using the InfoBubble library. My problem is that when I show image for outside div with CSS properties it's showing half image that is within div.
Here is my CSS code:
#wider-header{
overflow: hidden;
display:inline-block;
width: 100px;
height: 300px;
}
#wide-header img {
position:relative;
top:-70px;
float:right;
border-radius: 50% 50% 50% 50%;
border: 2px solid #d81f27;
}
and the JavaScript:
infoBubble2 = new InfoBubble({
map: map,
content: "<div id='wide-header'><img id='jdImg' src='http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02474/cat-eyebrows-1_2474686k.jpg' width='100' height='100' alt='userImage'></div>",
position: new google.maps.LatLng(-35, 151),
padding: 10,
backgroundColor: '#fff',
borderRadius: 4,
arrowSize: 10,
borderWidth: 1,
borderColor: '#2c2c2c',
disableAutoPan: false,
hideCloseButton: true,
arrowPosition: 50,
arrowStyle: 3
});
infoBubble2.open();
The code above results in this:
How can I fix this?

i found my solution by changed these lines in infobubble.js library
// Content area
var contentContainer = this.contentContainer_ = document.createElement('DIV');
contentContainer.style['overflowX'] = 'auto';
contentContainer.style['overflowY'] = 'auto';
into
// Content area
var contentContainer = this.contentContainer_ = document.createElement('DIV');
contentContainer.style['overflowX'] = 'visible';
contentContainer.style['overflowY'] = 'visible';
Here is the required solution

How add circle Shape in Google maps custom icon?

I have problem with custom images on map.
For example:
My icons generated this way, and icon contains image:
var ic = { //icon
url: icon, // url
scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(30, 30), // scaled size
origin: new google.maps.Point(0,0), // origin
anchor: new google.maps.Point(0, 0), // anchor
//define the shape
//define the shape
shape:{coords:[17,17,18],type:'circle'},
//set optimized to false otherwise the marker will be rendered via canvas
//and is not accessible via CSS
optimized:false,
title: 'spot'
};
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map, title: name , position: latlngset, icon: ic
});
I want make my icons like css 50% radius (circle shape).
How I can do it?

Using code from there, and changing the border-radius to 50%, gives me a circular icon with the image in the circle.

<div id="map" style="width: 640pxpx; height: 480px;">map div</div>
After some google, I found this simple and easiest way for making a marker circle shape. Anyone can also customize it easily.
Here is a sample code -
<script>
function initMap() {
const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
zoom: 15,
center: { lat: 23.8178689, lng: 90.4213642 },
});
const your_img_url = "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/22879378?v=4";
var icon = {
url: your_img_url + '#custom_marker', // url + image selector for css
scaledSize: new google.maps.Size(32, 32), // scaled size
origin: new google.maps.Point(0,0), // origin
anchor: new google.maps.Point(0, 0) // anchor
};
const marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: { lat: 23.8178689, lng: 90.4213642 },
map,
icon: icon,
});
}
</script>
And your CSS style are -
<style>
img[src$="#custom_marker"]{
border: 2px solid #900 !important;
border-radius:50%;
}
</style>
Output:
If you want to make a circular marker just check the documentation This is faster and more lightweight.
Otherwise, just make your actual icon into a circular shape.

CSS: content scaling in parent div

I'm using famo.us for rendering surfaces contaning HTML. I want the HTML content to scale with transformations on the surface. For example a "polaroid" rendering with picture and name:
HTML:
<div id="contentdiv" style="width:164px; height:199px; background-color: aqua; border: dashed">
<div class="polaroid">
<img class="img-responsive" src='https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7197720/www/Serge.jpg'>
<p>Serge</p>
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.polaroid {
position: relative;
width: 100%; /* width 144px, both sides 10px border */
}
.polaroid img {
max-width: 100%;
border: 10px solid #fff;
border-bottom: 2.4vw solid #fff;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #777;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #777;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 3px #777;
}
.polaroid p {
position: absolute;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0px;
font: 400 1vw 'Kaushan Script', cursive;
color: #888;
}
I just don't get the CSS in a shape that when I enlarge or minimize the div, the content scales with it. To test scaling within a div I created a simple test harness with the example I try to implement. See http://codepen.io/svdoever/pen/raGjrZ. Problem is the scaling/positiong of fonts and that borders should scale on resize, so smaller border on smaller size.
My first question is: is it possible to write html/css that scales correctly with the parent container? Should work for images, fonts, margins etc. Is there a solution for my example?
My second question is: is it possible to make the html/css responsive, so show less/more content based on the size of the container element.
My third question is: what are the best practices for writing this type of html/css.
EDIT: I found blogpost http://blog.sathomas.me/post/zooming-html-content-with-css-scale-transform, but don't really understand the approach yet...
There is a solution for what you have done in your codepin using Famo.us. I have created an example, but will not include all the features of your codepen, but it will give you a start for dynamic css in Famo.us
Answer to first question:
It is possible to write css that will scale proportionately in your event handlers.
Example jsBin of code below
var mainContext = Engine.createContext();
mainContext.setPerspective(1000);
var splash = new Surface({ content: 'Famo.us Application'});
mainContext.add(splash);
var proportion = 1;
var orig = 144;
var min = 100;
var max = 1440;
var widthLabel = new Surface({
content: 'Width',
size: [true, true]
});
var widthSlider = new InputSurface({
type: 'range',
value: orig,
attributes: {
min: min,
max: max
}
});
var heightLabel = new Surface({
content: 'Height',
size: [true, true]
});
var heightSlider = new InputSurface({
type: 'range',
value: orig,
attributes: {
min: min,
max: max
}
});
function _changeProportions() {
var value = widthSlider.getValue();
polaroidMod.setSize([value,value]);
proportion = value/orig ;
polaroidText.setOptions({properties: {fontSize: Math.round(proportion) + 'em'}});
image.setOptions({
properties: {
border: Math.round(proportion*10) + 'px solid #fff',
borderBottom: Math.round(proportion * 1.5) + 'em solid #fff',
boxShadow: Math.round(proportion*3) + 'px ' + Math.round(proportion*3) + 'px ' + Math.round(proportion*3) + 'px #777'
}
});
polaroidText.mod.setTransform(Transform.translate(0,-Math.round(proportion*15), 0.002));
}
widthSlider.on('input', function(e){
var slider = e.target;
heightSlider.setValue(slider.value);
_changeProportions(slider.value);
});
heightSlider.on('input', function(e){
var slider = e.target;
widthSlider.setValue(slider.value);
_changeProportions();
});
var widthNode = mainContext.add(new Modifier({
size: [200, 40],
transform: Transform.translate(0,20, 0.001)
}));
var heightNode = mainContext.add(new Modifier({
size: [200, 40],
transform: Transform.translate(210,20, 0.001)
}));
widthNode.add(widthLabel);
widthNode.add(widthSlider);
heightNode.add(heightLabel);
heightNode.add(heightSlider);
var polaroidMod = new Modifier({
size: [orig, orig],
transform: Transform.translate(10,70, 0.001),
proportions: [1, 1]
});
var polaroidNode = mainContext.add(polaroidMod);
var polaroid = new ContainerSurface({
size:[undefined, undefined]
});
var image = new ImageSurface({
size:[undefined, true],
content: 'https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7197720/www/Serge.jpg',
properties: {
maxWidth: '100%',
border: Math.round(proportion*10) + 'px solid #fff',
borderBottom: Math.round(proportion) + 'em solid #fff',
boxShadow: '3px 3px 3px #777'
}
});
polaroidNode.add(polaroid);
polaroid.add(image);
polaroidText = new Surface({
size: [true, true],
content: 'Serge',
properties: {
font: "400 "+ Math.round(proportion) +"em 'Kaushan Script', cursive",
color: '#888',
fontSize: Math.round(proportion) + 'em'
}
});
polaroidText.mod = new Modifier({
origin: [0.5, 0],
align: [0.5, 1],
transform: Transform.translate(0,-15, 0.002)
});
var textNode = polaroidNode.add(polaroidText.mod);
textNode.add(polaroidText);
Answer to second question:
Yes, you could make it responsive within your transition event handlers as in the example.
Answer to third question:
Best practice in my opinion is based on use case, but you can see that styling can be dynamic during transitions without using a style sheet file.

Toggle custom labels on and off in Google Maps V3

Added some labels to my Google Map (v3), ideally I'd like two things:
1) To be able to switch them on and off (as when zoomed out the labels become cluttered)
2) To be able to change the textsize of the label depending up the mapzoom.
I added the labels like so, info being read in from some nested arrays:
for (x = 0; x < areadata.length; x++){//Start Label Loop
labelObjects[x] = new MapLabel({
text: areadata [x][0],
position: new google.maps.LatLng(areadata [x][2], areadata [x][1]),
map: mymap,
fontSize: 16,
align: 'center'
});
labelObjects[x].set('position', new google.maps.LatLng(areadata [x][2], areadata [x][1]));
}
I'm using the maplabel-compiled.js from http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/maplabel/examples/maplabel.html - with one change however. mapPane.appendChild has been amended to floatPane.appendChild - this brings all labels in front of any Polygons I have on the map.
This works just fine, the problem comes when I try to control the labels, I've tried interacting with the first label in the array like so with no joy:
labelObjects[0].setVisible(false);
labelObjects[0].set('visible', false);
labelObjects[0].set('fontSize', 48);
Anyone had similar issues? Thanks for reading.
be sure that labelObjects is accessible in the scope where try to toggle the mapLabel
there is no method setVisible for a MapLabel
setting a visible-property of a MapLabel will not have any effect. To show/hide the MapLabel set the map-property of the MapLabel to either a google.maps.Map-instance(mymap) or null
var areadata = [
['label#1', 1, 1],
['label#2', 2, 2]
],
labelObjects = [],
mymap;
function init() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(1.5, 1.5),
myOptions = {
zoom: 7,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
mymap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), myOptions);
for (x = 0; x < areadata.length; x++) { //Start Label Loop
labelObjects[x] = new MapLabel({
text: areadata[x][0],
position: new google.maps.LatLng(areadata[x][2], areadata[x][1]),
map: mymap,
fontSize: 16,
align: 'center'
});
labelObjects[x].set('position', new google.maps.LatLng(areadata[x][2], areadata[x][1]));
}
mymap.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_CENTER].push(document.getElementById('toggle'));
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', init);

Google maps custom control always appears below the default controls

I'd like to add a custom map control to a Google Maps v3 map. My custom control is the grayed-out 'location' icon in the screenshot below.
The problem is that I need the custom control to be below the pan ('arrows') control, but above the pegman / street view control. I have tried setting "index = -3" on the div I'm using for the control (see the v3 custom control positioning docs), with no luck.
wrapperDiv = document.createElement('div');
/* Some code appends an image to wrapperDiv in my actual code */
wrapperDiv.index = -3;
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_TOP].push( wrapperDiv );
Any ideas?
Update - solution found
Using the answer, provided by geocodezip, my custom control is now between the pan control and pegman control:
Most of the controls are now further over to the left than normal, but there doesn't seem to be a way to work around that, as far as I can tell.
Follow-up question
Now that my custom control is in the right place, is there a way to make the pegman and zoom controls centered below the pan control, like they are in the first screenshot?
One idea/option (not optimal but does sort of what you want).
Put the pan control in the TOP_LEFT controls position.
Put the custom control at index -1 (before all the normal controls) in LEFT_TOP
from the documentation: Positioning Custom Controls:...snip...
The API places controls at each position by the order of an index property; controls with a lower index are placed first. For example, two custom controls at position BOTTOM_RIGHT will be laid out according to this index order, with lower index values taking precedence. By default, all custom controls are placed after placing any API default controls. You can override this behavior by setting a control's index property to be a negative value. Custom controls cannot be placed to the left of the logo or to the right of the copyrights.

var homeControl = new HomeControl(homeControlDiv, map);

example
A second option, would be to create a custom zoom control, then you can control the order (I couldn't figure out how to access the pre-defined Google Maps controls, only to put the custom control(s) before or after them).

This is a google map with an InfoBox, I want to achieve the Yelp's map tooltip div effect. In other words I want to position an infoBox on top of a google map, in order to do that I'm using a google maps InfoBox with a z-index higher than the map z-index, but it is not working, this is the jsfiddle help please,

In this example I want the yellow container to be on top of the map container and also on top of the gray container, is that possible?. help please!
Here is the code:
CSS:
#map_canvas{
position: absolute;
top: 50px; left: 20px;
width: 300px;
height: 300px;
z-index: 1;}
#z_index_gray {
position: absolute;
top: 250px; left: 250px;
height: 125px; width: 125px;
background-color: gray;
z-index: 10;}

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

,mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var theMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myMapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: theMap,
draggable: true,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(49.47216, -123.76307),

});
var boxText = document.createElement("div");
boxText.style.cssText = "position: absolute;border: 1px solid black; background: yellow; padding: 5px;z-index: 20;height: 100px; width: 300px;";

Thanks!
PD. I'm following this infoBox documentation example: http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobox/docs/examples.html
I found this example from Pamela Fox and it does exactly what I want.

I hope it helps to someone else.
