I ended up answering my own question. You have to make a couple changes. First make the overlayLayer an overlayMouseTarget like so:

var layer = d3.select(this.getPanes().overlayMouseTarget).append("div") .attr("class", "stations");

I added the following attr to the circle:

marker.append("svg:circle").attr("r", 4.5).attr("cx", padding).attr("cy", padding).on("click",toggleExpand);

...and then had to define the toggleExpand() method:

function toggleExpand() { if(d3.select(this).attr("r") == 4.5) { d3.select(this).transition().duration(100).attr("r",7) } else { d3.select(this).transition().duration(100).attr("r",4.5) } }

(please forgive the formatting, I can't make the function look good)

Thanks for this example it got me heading in the right direction.

I copied it (didn't fork) and made some changes for my own purposes so that I could use a single SVG instead of one per map marker and like several others mentioned so I could have my markers get mouse events (using overlayMouseTarget instead of overlayLayer.

I did a small writeup of my changes here and the end result is here.

I've already loaded data from Elasticsearch, doing a query to ES, into an object called "resp"... I've this values:

"hits": {
"hits": [
"_source": {"location": "43.54526,-5.661926"},
"_source": {"location": "40.41669,-3.700346"}
]}

so values from "resp.hits.hits._source.location" is what i want to draw in the map

I've tried to adapt the code with

var marker = layer.selectAll("svg")
.data(resp.hits.hits)

and:

d = new google.maps.LatLng(d.location)
or
d = new google.maps.LatLng(d.location[1],d.location[0])

It doens't works ¿? Thanks!

In some cases, the map is part of a document, that contains some css like the following:
*, *::before, *::after {
box-sizing: border-box;
}

if you add the above css to the example, the overlay div is still placed but not rendered.
Highlighting each html svg element shows it's in the right location, but the content is not displayed.

any idea why?

Hi,
Can someone help me with drawing a line between two points? My main idea is to not just plot nodes but to plot a graph over a map. Since, the above code shows how to plot the nodes, can some one help me with plotting lines between the plotted nodes?
Thank you in advance.
