Contour

The Contour visualization method is useful for displaying the distribution of data on standard territories: regions, districts, settlements, and others. The visualization takes into account the physical and legal boundaries of buildings.

The method supports a 3D format for displaying data on the map as columns.

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.
4. To open the layer, click icon and select the required layer.
5. In the General settings block, select the Contour visualization method.
6. Set the remaining visualization parameters if necessary.

The data is visualized on the map.

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 contour on the map. Select the required attributes, change their order, and select an attribute aggregation type if necessary: for more details, see the Configuring a tooltip section. If the option is disabled, the tooltip shows all attributes from the dataset.

Area object type

Parameter	Description
Area object type	Type of standard territory based on which the contour is built: regions, districts, settlements, and others.

Caption

Parameter	Description
Caption	Enable the option to display contour captions. The caption displays the attribute value from the Color basis parameter.

Color

Parameter	Description
Color basis	Numeric attribute that determines the fill color of contours on the map and in the legend according to the color palette. Available values depend on the data in the sample.
Color aggregation type	Function used to aggregate the attribute values located in one contour: Sum - sum of values. Mean - mean value. Median - median value that is equal to or greater than 50% of values in the group. Min - minimum value. Max - 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.
Number of ranges	Number of data ranges in the legend and colors in the palette from 1 to 10. Ranges are calculated automatically based on the Type of scale (for Logarithmic, Linear, and Exponential types). To customize ranges manually, enter the required limits or change 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. To change the order of ranges, hold down icon next to the range and drag it. To add a range, click icon. To delete a range, click icon.
Palette	Color palette (a set of prepared color samples). To change the color for a range, click the color in the legend and select a new one from the palette or specify it in the HEX format. To reset the color, hover over it and click icon. The color is also reset when the attribute is changed, but is not reset when the range limits or the number of ranges are changed. Example:
Invert	Enable the option to invert the color palette. All colors in the palette are inverted, except those set manually.
Opacity	Opacity of contour fill in percent.

Outline

Parameter	Description
Outline	Enable the option to display the contour outline.
Outline color	Outline color. Select a color from the palette or specify it in the HEX format.
Stroke width	Stroke width in pixels from 1 to 25. If the Height option is enabled, the setting is not available.
Stroke opacity	Stroke opacity in percent.

Height

Parameter	Description
Height	Enable the option to display the data as 3D columns on the map. To enable 3D display format, select the 3D mode in the bottom-right corner of the map.
Height basis	Numeric attribute based on which the data is grouped into columns. Available values depend on the data in the sample.
Height aggregation type	Function used to aggregate the attribute values located in one column: Sum - sum of values. Mean - mean value. Median - median value that is equal to or greater than 50% of values in the group. Min - minimum value. Max - maximum value.
Height scale	Column height multiplier from 0.1 to 20.
