Last updated 1 year ago

Check out the given illustration on the Geo chart Properties.

Geo chart uses geographic locations as the basis for displaying data. It is used to display data on a map, and can be used to show information such as population density, sales data, or weather patterns. Common types of Geo map charts include Choropleth maps which color regions according to data values, and point maps, which display data as individual points on the map. ​

The Leaflet is an open-source JavaScript library for creating interactive maps. It is designed to be lightweight and easy to use, and can be used to create a wide variety of map-based visualizations, including geo map charts.​ This chart is created using an open-source tool called Leaflet.​
