dottedMap
A Core block/component from Magic UI — clean-room reimplemented for Domphy (see methodology). Call dottedMap() with no arguments for a working demo, or edit the code below live.
Props
| Prop | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
width | number | SVG viewBox width (user units). Defaults to 150. |
height | number | SVG viewBox height (user units). Defaults to 75. |
columns | number | Grid columns sampled across the map width (rows derive from the 2 aspect ratio) — more columns = denser dot grid. Defaults to 80. |
markers | DottedMapMarker[] | — |
dotRadius | number | Land-dot radius, and the default marker radius when a marker has no size (SVG units). Defaults to 0.2. |
dotColor | ThemeColor | Background dot color — dots render with fill: currentColor, so this sets the map's color. Defaults to "neutral". |
markerColor | ThemeColor | Default marker color, overridable per marker. Defaults to "primary". |
pulse | boolean | Default pulse setting, overridable per marker. Defaults to false. |
staggerRows | boolean | Offsets alternating rows horizontally by half a column width for a more organic dot layout. Defaults to true. |
style | StyleObject | — |
Implementation notes
Fully implements the described architecture: a pre-computed (non-animated) equirectangular grid of SVG dots forming a stippled world silhouette, plus a marker layer supporting per-marker color/pulse overrides, a repeating CSS @keyframes radar-ping ring, and a custom overlay renderer (via SVG <foreignObject> + CSS clip-path circle) for e.g. avatar images — all exactly as specified, with zero stubs. The one deliberate fidelity gap, called out because it affects the VISUAL result: land/water classification uses a small, hand-authored set of ellipse approximations per continent (with a per-point pseudo-random jitter so edges look stippled rather than geometrically smooth) instead of a real geographic point-set or polygon containment test — this is the exact substitution the spec's own researchNote sanctions ('a clean-room build can substitute any lightweight equirectangular projection plus a pre-baked landmass point set... to avoid heavy geo-boundary dependencies'), but it means continent silhouettes are stylized/decorative rather than coastline-accurate. Default grid density (80 columns / 40 rows ≈ 3200 samples) is intentionally lower than the spec's illustrative ~5000-sample default, traded off for render/test performance — both counts are explicitly framed by the spec as non-normative starting points, not requirements.
Status: ported · Reference: Magic UI original
// magicui "Dotted Map" — clean-room reimplementation from the public
// behavior/visual spec only (no upstream source viewed or copied). An SVG
// world map rendered as a grid of small dots tracing continent silhouettes,
// with optional pulsing marker overlays at specific latitude/longitude
// locations.
//
// The upstream technique tests every sampled grid point against real
// geographic polygon boundaries, which needs a geo-boundary dependency this
// package intentionally avoids (per the port's own research note). Instead,
// each landmass is approximated as one or more ellipses in
// (longitude, latitude) space, with a small per-point pseudo-random jitter
// on the ellipse boundary so coastlines read as a stippled fringe instead of
// a perfectly smooth curve. This is a stylized, hand-authored approximation
// suitable for a decorative/illustrative backdrop — not a geographic dataset.
