Examples
feature collection filter

This example loads a map of Africa using the "AFRICA" key.

The "AFRICA" map was created using the Mapzania MapStyler (see www.mapzania.com/manual/concepts-mapstyler).

The example uses the "usingLayer" method of the Mapzania Map object to get a "COUNTRIES" Layer Object and make chained calls to the "filterByFeatureCollection" and then the "update" method of the layer to filter and redraw the layer data.

For more on layers see: www.mapzania.com/manual/concepts-layers

For more on the Layer Object and applicable methods see:

window.onload = function () {
    var map = new Mapzania.Map("map-div", "AFRICA", function () {

        var featureCollection = {
            type: "FeatureCollection",
            features: [
                {
                    type: "Feature",
                    geometry: {
                        coordinates: [
                            [
                                [0, 0], [0, 10], [10, 20], [20, 20], [20, 0], [0, 0]
                            ]
                        ],
                        type: "Polygon"
                    }
