# MapItemView Transitions (QML)

How to use transitions together with MapItemView.

MapItemView Transitions demonstrates how to use the Map item to render a map. It shows the minimum amount of code needed to display the map, and can be used as a basis for further experimentation.

#### Running the Example

To run the example from Qt Creator, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.

#### QML Code

In `main.qml`, two MapItemView elements are used, to add to the map the administrative districts for the Oslo region, and to add a marker upon long-press.

      MapItemView {
          id: mivMarker

          add: Transition {
              NumberAnimation {
                  property: "slideIn"
                  from: 50
                  to: 0
                  duration: 500
                  easing.type: Easing.OutBounce
                  easing.amplitude: 3.0
              }
          }

          remove: Transition {
              NumberAnimation {
                  property: "opacity"
                  to: 0.1
                  duration: 50
              }
          }

          model: ListModel {
              id: markerModel
          }
          delegate: Component {
              MapQuickItem {
                  coordinate: QtPositioning.coordinate(latitude, longitude)
                  anchorPoint: Qt.point(e1.width * 0.5, e1.height + slideIn)
                  property real slideIn : 0
                  sourceItem: Shape {
                      id: e1
                      vendorExtensionsEnabled: false
                      width: 32
                      height: 32
                      visible: true

                      transform: Scale {
                          origin.y: e1.height * 0.5
                          yScale: -1
                      }

                      ShapePath {
                          id: c_sp1
                          strokeWidth: -1
                          fillColor: Qt.rgba(1,0,1,1.0)

                          property real half: e1.width * 0.5
                          property real quarter: e1.width * 0.25
                          property point center: Qt.point(e1.x + e1.width * 0.5 , e1.y + e1.height * 0.5)

                          property point top: Qt.point(center.x, center.y - half )
                          property point bottomLeft: Qt.point(center.x - half, center.y + half )
                          property point bottomRight: Qt.point(center.x + half, center.y + half )

                          startX: center.x;
                          startY: center.y + half

                          PathLine { x: c_sp1.bottomLeft.x; y: c_sp1.bottomLeft.y }
                          PathLine { x: c_sp1.top.x; y: c_sp1.top.y }
                          PathLine { x: c_sp1.bottomRight.x; y: c_sp1.bottomRight.y }
                          PathLine { x: c_sp1.center.x; y: c_sp1.center.y + c_sp1.half }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
      }

The marker view specifies both the add and the remove transition, to create a bouncing marker effect.

      MapItemView {
          id: miv
          model: OsloListModel {
              id: osloListModel
          }
          add: Transition {
              NumberAnimation {
                  property: "animationScale"
                  from: 0.2
                  to: 1
                  duration: 800
                  easing.type: Easing.OutCubic
              }
          }
          delegate: Component {
              MapPolygon {
                  function fromMercator(l, centroid) {
                      var res = []
                      for (var i  = 0; i < l.length; i++) {
                          var vtx = l[i]
                          var offset = Qt.point((vtx.x - centroid.x) * animationScale,
                                                (vtx.y - centroid.y) * animationScale)
                          var pt = Qt.point(centroid.x + offset.x, centroid.y + offset.y)
                          res.push( QtPositioning.mercatorToCoord(pt) )
                      }
                      return res;
                  }

                  path: fromMercator(osloListModel.geometries[name+"_"+adminLevel]
                                     , osloListModel.centroids[name+"_"+adminLevel] )
                  color: ((adminLevel > 4) ? "lightsteelblue" : 'firebrick')
                  property real animationScale : 1
                  opacity: ((adminLevel < 9) ? 0.1 : 0.8)
                  visible: true
              }
          }
      }

The administrative districts view specifies only the add transition, to create a district growing effect.

#### Requirements

The example requires a working internet connection to download `OpenStreetMap` map tiles. An optional system proxy should be picked up automatically.
