Creating a normalized choropleth map


In this example, you will create a choropleth map that displays both the total area and the total area divided by the total land area. The following steps will walk you through this:

  1. Using the code from the previous example, add another color function with values for the new ranges. They will be much smaller values than values for the total:

    function densitycolor(x) {
    return x > 0.15 ? '#990000' :
    x> 0.12  ? '#d7301f' :
    x> 0.06  ? '#ef6548' :
    x> 0.03  ? '#fc8d59' :
    x> 0.01  ? '#fdbb84' :
    x> 0.005   ? '#fdd49e' :
    x> 0   ? '#fee8c8' :'#fff7ec';                      
    }
  2. Next, define another style function. The key difference in this function is that the value passed to the color function will be water/land:

    function densityStyle(feature) {
    return {
    fillColor: densitycolor(feature.properties.AWATER10/feature.properties.ALAND10),
    weight: 1,
    opacity: 1,
          color: 'white',
          fillOpacity: 1
        };
    }
  3. Create two buttons on the bottom of the...
