Geo chart

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.​

  • The Properties tab for the selected dimension opens on the right side.

  • Select the Cell Type option with a valid option (Select Latitude for the dragged Latitude dimension and Longitude for the Longitude dimension).

Please Note: The user can change the display by selecting an option from the Geometry Type drop-down menu.

Displaying Trip Geometry Type

  • Drag and drop required Dimensions and Measures to plot a View.

  • Make sure that a relevant Measure has been dragged to the Dimensions/Measures box. E.g., tripevntt in the given image.

  • Click the ellipsis icon provided for the dragged Measure.

  • The Properties tab for that dragged Measure opens on the right side.

  • Select the Cell Type option as Trip Event.
