Drawing and Shading regions in the map

[hardnett]

Currently, we have the long & lat coords for the points around a region. However, we need to figure out how to draw the edge of a region such as a tract. Then we can shade it in. The demonstration code on the City SDK can be our first start:

Geo Request

I have feeling that we will have to dig into their code to understand how they trace and shade in-order to write our customized tracing and shading to get the heat-map effect.

There are other map examples for us to look at:
Container Geometry
Drawing on an Arbitrary region

I have started to work some on getting the information to appear on the map. However, the site runs very very slow for me! Anyone else having this issue?

I should say that it was not just map data that was taking long-about 30 seconds to a minute but even attempting to look at the console. Hopefully it was something that just happened once!

This line census.geoRequest(request, geoCallBack); in the api.js file-does it pull all of the lat, long coordinates? I have noticed that if I comment it out nothing works. Or is it just because of the geoCallBack function within it that is what stringify's the response?

This is done. I am not sure why it was still open. :)
