Dynamically change object property

I'm using jVectorMaps. I have a map object with a backgroundColor property:

map = new jvm.Map({
    container: $('#map'),
    map: "world_mill_en,
    backgroundColor: bgcolor

Let's say I declare a global bgcolor variable. Then, I change the value of that variable at some point:

function changeBGcolor() {
    bgcolor = "yellow";
}

The idea is that the jVectorMap background color changes when I change the value of the bgcolor variable. So far I was not able to do it.

How can it be done?

Solution

  • You should use setBackgroundColor(). i.e.

    var bgColor = "red";
var map = new jvm.Map({
  container: $('#map'),
  map: 'world_mill_en',
  backgroundColor: bgColor
});

bgColor = "yellow";

map.setBackgroundColor(bgColor);
