Point

The Point visualization method is useful when you need to display individual elements while maintaining their detail.

If you need to combine elements visually when zooming in the map, use the Cluster method.

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 Point 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 point 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.

Point radius

You can set the radius of points on the map in one of the following ways:

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

Based on a data attribute:

Parameter	Description
Radius basis	Numeric attribute based on which the radius of the points on the map and is calculated. Available values depend on the data in the sample. To reset the parameter, click icon next to its name.
Radius range	Range of possible point radius in pixels from 1 to 50.

Specifying a single radius:

Parameter	Description
Radius	Point radius in pixels from 1 to 20.

Icon

Parameter	Description
Type of point	Icon for displaying points on the map. To reset the parameter, click icon next to its name.
Icon color	Icon color. Select a color from the palette or specify it in the HEX format. Available if the icon is selected.
Outline	Enable the option to display the point outline.
Icon and outline color	Outline and icon color. Select a color from the palette or specify it in the HEX format. Available if the outline is enabled.
Stroke width	Stroke width in pixels from 1 to 25.

Color

You can set the color of points 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	Text or numeric attribute that determines the fill color of points 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.
Type of scale (for numeric attributes)	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. For text attributes, the available number depends on the data. For numeric attributes, the available number ranges from 1 to 10. For text attributes, ranges are calculated automatically based on the data values. If you reduce the number of ranges, the last ranges will be combined into the Other range. You cannot move ranges, add new ones, or delete them. For numeric attributes, 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 point fill in percent.

Specifying a single color:

Parameter	Description
Color	Fill color of points. Reset the Color basis parameter, select a color from the palette or specify it in the HEX format. Points on the map will be colored the same.
Opacity	Opacity of point fill in percent.
