Buildings

The Buildings visualization is useful for analyzing the distribution of data by buildings. The visualization takes into account the physical and legal boundaries of buildings.

Overview

To select a visualization method:

1. Go to the Dashboards tab.
2. Open the required dashboard.
3. Open a scene using the arrows and . If there is only one scene in the dashboard, it opens automatically when you open the dashboard.
4. To open the layer, click icon and select the required layer.
5. In the General settings block, select the Buildings visualization method.
6. Set the remaining visualization parameters if necessary.

The data is visualized on the map as building contours. At lower map zoom levels, the data is shown as centroid points: the centers of the object geometries.

Parameters

Tooltip setup

Parameter	Description
Tooltip setup	Enable the option to customize the list of attributes that are displayed in the tooltip when hovering over the building on the map. Select the required attributes and change their order if necessary: for more details, see the Configuring a tooltip section. If the option is disabled, the tooltip shows all attributes from the dataset.

Color

You can set the color of buildings on the map in one of the following ways:

• Based on a data attribute: the color of each element depends on the attribute values.
• Specify a single color for all elements.

Based on a data attribute:

Parameter	Description
Color basis	Numeric attribute that determines the fill color of the buildings on the map and in the legend according to the color palette. Available values depend on the data in the sample. To reset the parameter, click icon next to its name.
Color palette	Set of prepared color samples.
Invert	Enable the option to invert the color palette.
Steps	Number of colors in the palette from 1 to 10.
Legend	Configuring data ranges in the legend. Ranges are calculated automatically based on the Type of scale (for Logarithmic, Linear, and Exponential types). You can also customize ranges manually by entering the required range limits or changing the order and number of ranges (Adjustable type). In all ranges except the last one, the specified upper (right) limit is not included in the range. The maximum number of ranges is 10. To change the order of ranges, hold down icon next to the required range and drag it. To add a range, click icon. To delete a range, click icon.
Color aggregation type	Function used to aggregate the attribute values located in one visualization element (point or building): Sum - the sum of the values. Mean - the mean value. Median - the median value that is equal to or greater than 50% of the values in the group. Min - the minimum value. Max - the maximum value.
Type of scale	Distribution type used to calculate data ranges in the legend: Logarithmic - logarithmic distribution. Suitable for displaying data that changes over a wide range or differs by several orders of magnitude. Linear - uniform distribution. Suitable for displaying values of the same order. Exponential - exponential distribution. Suitable if you need to highlight small values and ignore large ones, and for displaying data that changes quickly. Adjustable - manual configuring of ranges. In all ranges except the last one, the specified upper (right) limit is not included in the range.
Opacity	Fill opacity in percent.

Specifying a single color:

Parameter	Description
Color	Fill color of buildings. Select a color from the palette or specify it in the HEX format. Buildings on the map will be colored the same.
Opacity	Fill opacity in percent.
