A map container is a container used to host the map itself and its sub-components in a basic flat map. You can add sub-components such as the regional thermal layer and point thermal layer, configure the location, color, and mouse interaction events of the map, and render real-time data of the geographic locations of cities across the country from multiple perspectives and in multiple forms. This topic describes the configuration items of the basic flat map container.

Unlimited Zoom: If you enable this feature, the map zooms more smoothly. If you disable this feature, the map zooms more smoothly.
High-definition rendering: If you enable this feature for retina screens, ultra-high resolution adaptation is achieved. However, the performance of retina screens is degraded. You can enable this feature based on the machine configuration.
Global Settings: Set the background color, zoom level, latitude and longitude of the map center, and control scale ruler concealment.
Parameter
Description
Map background
The background color of the map. For more information, see color picker instructions.
Map Zoom
Controls the zoom range and default level of the map's parent container.
Zoom Range: The zoom range controls only the zoom range of the parent container. Valid values: 0 to 20.
Default Level: The default level of the parent container. The default level must be within the zoom range. Valid values: 0 to 20.
NoteThe map zoom supports fractional zoom. The zoom level controls that the parent container can only operate within the zoom range; the default level sets the default display level of the parent container, which needs to be set within the zoom range.
Map Center
The latitude and longitude of the center of the map.
Coordinate System
The coordinate system type of the map. You can select Universal Coordinate or Custom.
Common Coordinates: Common coordinates include EPSG3857, EPSG4326, and BD09. By default, the system sets the common coordinate system to EPSG3857. If you switch to another common coordinate system, the URL of the tile corresponding to the bottom layer needs to be reset.
Custom: You can customize the coordinate system, including the EPSG, proj parameters, longitude origin, latitude origin, and resolution. For more information about custom coordinate systems, see Custom coordinate system maps.
scale ruler
Click the icon to the right of the scale ruler to display the scale ruler on the map. When enabled, you can adjust the font color of the scale ruler, the color of the border, and the offset values of the scale ruler in the horizontal and vertical directions.
You can also change the map center point and zoom level by configuring the data source.
Example:
[ { "zoom": 4, "lng": 112, "lat": 34 } ]
Box Settings: You can configure parameters such as the text style, line height ratio, and corner radius.
