Sure ! You just need the lat-lon geo coordinates of each data to place a point or shape in the map (Series1.AddXY). Pointer color and/or size (ie: bubble radius) can indicate the value. Clicking anywhere can popup details. Arrow/Vector series can display wind direction over the map, etc.
David, Does it offer visual styles different then your screen shot ? Sorry, I like the idea but I think the colors might use some improvements. I am going to try it anyway.

ReplyDeleteoh, it was 4 year ago, time goes..
ReplyDeleteWow, let me know if you want to test it with the latest TeeChart Pro version. It should paint faster and better (Gdi+ antialias and OpenGL speed)
ReplyDeleteDavid Berneda it was a tool for creating GIS-charts for some articles/reports at work (I work in university) so speed wasn't matter :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I could use this for putting weather data on a map...

ReplyDeleteWorldSeries1.Map := wmAustralia works fine :-)
ReplyDeletere weather data idea (mesomap)...are you able to place a text output (i.e it would be temperature of the station....) sort of thing :)
ReplyDeleteSeries1.AddXY(Lat,Lon,FloatToStr(Temp)) and Series1.Marks.Visible:=True will show Temp text at geo xy positions. Another plot from same data overimposed on map can be isolines/isosurfaces: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRo-NsL6BJYv3H9E-qivm7beJig5PVM5Mq0CHppkxFV-h8ai2OH
