Line

The Line visualization method is useful for displaying objects which length is significantly greater than their width, and the area is not significant. Such objects can include streets and roads, power lines, pipelines, and rivers.

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 Line 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 line 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 lines 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 lines 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.
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	Line opacity in percent.

Specifying a single color:

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

Line width

You can set the width of lines on the map in one of the following ways:

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

Based on a data attribute:

Parameter	Description
Width basis	Numeric attribute that determines the width of the lines on the map. Available values depend on the data in the sample. To reset the parameter, click icon next to its name.
Stroke width	Range of possible line width in pixels from 1 to 25.

Specifying a single width:

Parameter	Description
Stroke width	Line width in pixels from 1 to 25.
