Description
This sample maps the highest educational attainment for adults in each U.S. county using the createPredominanceRenderer() method in the Smart Mapping module.
The createPredominanceRenderer() method compares the values of two or more competing numeric fields in a feature service. Each field is assigned a color. Each feature in the layer is shaded with the color of the field that has the higher value between the competing fields.
