Map

class Map(**properties: Any)

Superclasses: Widget, InitiallyUnowned, Object

Implemented Interfaces: Accessible, Buildable, ConstraintTarget

The Map widget is a Widget that show and allows interaction with the user.

This is the base widget and doesn’t have advanced features. You can check the SimpleMap for a ready-to-use widget.

By default, a Viewport is created and can be accessed with get_viewport.

Unless created with new_simple, the widget doesn’t hold any layer and won’t show anything. A Layer can be added or removed using the add_layer or remove_layer methods.

Constructors

class Map

classmethod new() → Map

Creates an instance of Map.

classmethod new_simple() → Map

Methods

class Map

add_layer(layer: Layer) → None

Adds a new layer to the view

Parameters:

layer – a Layer

center_on(latitude: float, longitude: float) → None

Centers the map on these coordinates.

Parameters:

• latitude – the longitude to center the map at

• longitude – the longitude to center the map at

get_animate_zoom() → bool

Checks whether the view animates zoom level changes.

get_go_to_duration() → int

Get the ‘go-to-duration’ property.

get_state() → State

Gets the view’s state.

get_viewport() → Viewport

Get the Viewport used by this view.

get_zoom_on_double_click() → bool

Checks whether the view zooms on double click.

go_to(latitude: float, longitude: float) → None

Move from the current position to these coordinates. All tiles in the intermediate view WILL be loaded!

Parameters:

• latitude – the longitude to center the map at

• longitude – the longitude to center the map at

go_to_full(latitude: float, longitude: float, zoom_level: float) → None

Move from the current position to these coordinates and zoom to the given zoom level. All tiles in the intermediate view WILL be loaded!

Parameters:

• latitude – the longitude to center the map at

• longitude – the longitude to center the map at

• zoom_level – the zoom level to end at

go_to_full_with_duration(latitude: float, longitude: float, zoom_level: float, duration_ms: int) → None

Move from the current position to these coordinates and zoom to the given zoom level. The given duration is used instead of the map’s default go_to_duration. All tiles in the intermediate view WILL be loaded!

Parameters:

• latitude – the longitude to center the map at

• longitude – the longitude to center the map at

• zoom_level – the zoom level to end at

• duration_ms – animation duration in milliseconds

insert_layer_above(layer: Layer, next_sibling: Layer | None = None) → None

Adds layer to self above next_sibling or, if next_sibling is None, at the bottom of the layer list.

Parameters:

• layer – a Layer

• next_sibling – a Layer that is a child of self, or None

insert_layer_behind(layer: Layer, next_sibling: Layer | None = None) → None

Adds layer to self behind next_sibling or, if next_sibling is None, at the top of the layer list.

Parameters:

• layer – a Layer

• next_sibling – a Layer that is a child of self, or None

remove_layer(layer: Layer) → None

Removes the given layer from the view

Parameters:

layer – a Layer

set_animate_zoom(value: bool) → None

Should the view animate zoom level changes.

Parameters:

value – a gboolean

set_go_to_duration(duration: int) → None

Set the duration of the transition of go_to.

Parameters:

duration – the animation duration, in milliseconds

set_map_source(map_source: MapSource) → None

Changes the currently used map source. #:func:unref will be called on the previous one.

As a side effect, changing the primary map source will also clear all secondary map sources.

Parameters:

map_source – a MapSource

set_zoom_on_double_click(value: bool) → None

Should the view zoom in and recenter when the user double click on the map.

Parameters:

value – a gboolean

stop_go_to() → None

Stop the go to animation. The view will stay where it was when the animation was stopped.

zoom_in() → None

Zooms the map in. If animate_zoom is TRUE, the change will be animated.

zoom_out() → None

Zooms the map out. If animate_zoom is TRUE, the change will be animated.
