Styling plots text #312

Closed drexel75 closed 7 years ago

drexel75 commented 7 years ago

Hello, I cannot figure out how to add a border and background color to a text plot (i.e. cities names), this to make it more visible. Is this possible btw ? Thanks !

Hello,

Unfortunately, SVG specification does not allows to set a background color nor a border to a text element , see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15500894/background-color-of-text-in-svg .

A workaround should be to set an SVG under your texts with the wanted background color and border. See afterInit() doc & examples to see how to add custom shapes on the map : https://rawgit.com/neveldo/jQuery-Mapael/2.1.0/examples/advanced/afterInit_extend_raphael_paper.html
