You're right that the gradient is not 100% equal in VML and SVG. Finding the correct settings to make it match as closely as possible is hard. For the VML gradient we use method="any", which has worked best in different cases. For your case, "sigma" seems a better fit. This code ...

You could add it by CSS: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/Ym4rc/

No problem, we didn't publish it yet. It's a work in progress.

Anyway, I fixed the India issue now: http://www.highcharts.com/studies/map-f ... mized2.svg

You'll also find a good India map at http://code.highcharts.com/mapdata/1.0.0/, though there are some differences regarding disputed areas I think.

Sorry, I only tested jakeoh's map of Quebec. Will look into the exploded India map.

I've fixed your two issues and uploaded them to the website. Please refresh the parser tool page and try again now.

It makes sense to discard the Y axis, I've implemented the change here: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/d87KE/3/

I think I've seen this before - the problem probably is that the browser is unable to tell the size of the image when it lays out the thumbstrip. The images are loading too fast, so the size is not available. I believe we worked around this earlier by setting a fixed size to the thumbnails: <img src...

Yes, definately looks like a browser bug... In general it is very hard to write workarounds for display issues like that, but we'll have a look.

Loading Highstock through Bower is problematic because it has different versioning than Highcharts, and we can't provide two products through the same repo. Therefore we have created two shim repos, https://github.com/highslide-software/highcharts-release and https://github.com/highslide-software/hi...

As stated in the "Tips" section in the map-from-svg tool, it is by no means a complete SVG parser, but we appreciate feedback on broken maps.

I have uploaded a new version now that implements the "s" and "S" operators in SVG paths, thereby your Europe map works well.

Thanks for your suggestion! Currently the Highslide project is not well-organized enough to put out there, but we could add a shim-repo with only stable releases.

Multitouch support for Microsoft Surface is added as of Highcharts 3.0.8 and Highstock 1.3.8, released on 2014-01-09.

See http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts#Chart.reflow()

Currently we are not working on an implementation for MS Touch events, but we may implement it in the future, or alternatively create a plugin for it.
