Foundations

Base maps​

Base maps provide geographic context for OroraTech data.

The default base map is a topographic map. WFS also provides a satellite and plain base map. Ensure an attribution is displayed for the active base map.

Time series data​

Time controls which fire data is visible and how its recency is displayed.

Normalise a recency ramp to the visible time window. The start of the window is the oldest value. The end is the newest value. Draw older hotspots first. Draw newer hotspots above them.

Colour​

Shared colours and geometry keep related features consistent across the map.

Selected feature#04CECF Cyan
Casing#FFFFFF White

Icons​

Icons identify the classification, category, or association state of a mapped feature.

WFS uses Font Awesome for icons. Use the icon specified in the relevant layer section. Use the same icon for the feature and its legend or label.

Labels and legends​

Legends and labels explain the data encoded by the map.

Show a map scale using the user's configured distance units. Show a legend when colour, size, or line pattern encodes data. Use the user's configured units in labels and legends where WFS supports unit conversion.

Typography​

WFS uses the Google font Figtree with fallbacks to Roboto and sans-serif.

Zoom behaviour​

Zoom controls when WFS changes between overview and detailed representations. WFS uses these thresholds.

Cluster shapesZoom 8 and above.

Fire gridZoom 8 and above.
Hotspot circlesZoom 10 and above.
Hotspot markersZoom 10 and above.
Integrated-incident centroidsBelow zoom 10.
Integrated-incident geometryZoom 10 and above.

Interaction behaviour​

Interaction states distinguish the feature under the user's pointer or selection.

Use cyan #04CECF for the selected state. WFS shows feature details in a popup or detail panel.

Layer order​

Layer order keeps important fire information visible above contextual information.

Higher Z-index values draw above lower values.

Attribution​

Attribution identifies the providers of the visible map and data.

  • Attribute OroraTech data as ©OroraTech and link to https://ororatech.com/.
  • Show the attribution supplied by the active base map and each visible data layer.
  • Keep all attribution with published screenshots, reports, and other map exports.
