Selecting Multiple Areas Map

In this demo we enable users to select multiple countries on a map.

Key implementation details

All you need to do to enable this behavior is to set toggleKey on the map polygon template to active. This makes the chart toggle active field on the country polygon between true and false. Then we just need to set the desired fill color for the active state.
