Bubble Layer

Dimensions / Measures

Parameters for Dimensions / Measures
Property	Use	Description
Dimension	required	The dimension represents an identity of the the point. It can also be used as the Location ID.
Latitude / ID	default:	The Latitude of the point (WGS 84) or the Location ID.
Longitude	default:	The Longitude of the point (WGS 84)
Size Value	default:	A numeric measure that controls size, by default the size is auto scaled between the lowest and highest value
Color Value	default:	A measure that controls color, a value is linearly mapped to a continuous color scale or hashed to a categorized color scale

Layer Options

Parameters for Layer Options
Property	Use	Description
Map ID	default:<the most recent map of the sheet>	Specify this value when there is more than one map on a sheet to tell which map to display the layer on. See Map Id in Map Settings of the Map to get the right one.
Max no. of Objects	default:1000	To display more than a thousand object increase this value. There will be a warning if there are more objects to display.
In Resolution Limit	default:0	The map will not be displayed when zoomed further in than this value. Check "Map.Debug.Show debug info" to see current resolution. The resolution is defined as meters per pixel, i.e. the number of meters each pixel covers.
Out Resolution Limit	default:99999999	The map will not be displayed when zoomed further out than this value. Check "Map.Debug.Show debug info" to see current resolution. The resolution is defined as meters per pixel, i.e. the number of meters each pixel covers.
Restrict Drill Down	default:	When the dimension is a drill down group it is possible to restrict the layer to be active only for a single level or multiple levels. This makes it easy to create different layers that are active in the different levels of the drill down. The top level is number 0. Multiple levels can be specified separated with comma. This property is ignored if the dimension is not a drill down group.
Include in Auto Zoom	default:Yes	Determines if the layer should be included when calculating area to zoom to when automatically zooming to selections.
Draw Order	default:Checked	Defines how the layer should be drawn compared to other layers, which ones should be drawn on top of each other.
Draw Order Category	default:<Layer specific>	The layers are by default drawn after the base map and the base map labels in the order Geodata Layers, Area Layers, Heatmap Layers, Line Layers, Bubble Layers. To make this layer draw in another category, adjust this value. This property is only visible when "Draw Order" is set to "Custom".
Draw Order Adjustment	default:0	Increasing this value makes the layer draw later, i.e. be more visible in the category. Allowed values are in the range -10 to 10. If you want the layer to be on top of other layers in the same category increase this value, if you want it to be overdrawn by other layers in the category decrease it. This property is only visible when "Draw Order" is set to "Custom".

Location Options

Location information is either specified as longitude, latitude pairs, as identities that are looked up in an external service or as sense geometries. When the term "Location ID" is used below it means it can be a sense geometry or an identity looked up else where. When it starts with a "[" it is assumed to be a geometry in a string ([long,lat] is a point, [[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...] is a line, [[[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...]] is a multi-line or a polygon with multiple rings, [[[[long1,lat1],[long2,lat2],...]]] is a multi-polygon but also accepted as a multi-line). The external service can be something as simple as a geometry file or a more complex server based service. The server based services provide a syntax for specifying more information on identities to minimize false hits. For instance containing areas and types of features can be specified. The following is the city Hamburg in Germany:

Hamburg,DE

and this is Hamburg in Sweden:

Hamburg,SE

If you actually wanted the first order administrative area in Germany named Hamburg you also need to specify a type:

Hamburg:AADM1,DE

You can also specify multiple areas when needed. For instance in USA there are many Hamburg. To get the one in Arkansas specify:

Hamburg,AR,US

See Location Service Specification for more information on syntax to use. When there are unresolved names a warning is displayed in the upper left corner of the map.

Parameters for Location Options
Property	Use	Description
Location Service	default:different for different types of geometries	URL to the location service. Either a server based service or a file as specified in "Location Service Type". An expression is accepted which makes it possible to change source dynamically. This can be used for switching file in different drill down levels for instance. Note that when a file is loaded, it is always loaded via the GeoAnalytics server (as a proxy) to avoid javascript restrictions on cross-origin loading.
Location Service Type	default:Geometry service	The type of service used for location ID lookup.
Source Key Attribute	optional	The attribute in a geometry file to use as the location ID. This field is only visible when a file based geometry service is selected.
Advanced Location	default:false	The advanced location toggle controls whether to use Advanced Loction, in essence whether to use Location ID Suffix or to use Country and Type.
Country	default:any	The Country dropdown can be used to narrow down a lookup of a location id. Using Country is a simplified way of using Location ID Suffix (see below).
Type	default:any	The Type dropdown can be used to narrow down a lookup of a location id. Using Country is a simplified way of using Location ID Suffix (see below).
Location ID Suffix	default:	The specified string is appended to all IDs. This is a convenient way to specify more information to server based location services such as country code or type. The alternative is to use an expression in the measure that appends extra information. With the following suffix all items are specified to be cities in Sweden: :P*,SE See Location Service Specification for more information on syntax to use.
Manual Remap	default:	This provides an easy fix for incorrect location IDs. To change them to something else use a syntax like: "value1":"remapped value1", "value2":"remapped value2", ...
Geometry Attribute	default:the_geom	The name of the attribute that contains the geometry (without name space). This field is only visible when Location Service Type is GML/WFS.
Reverse Coordinates	default:unchecked	Coordinates are expected in order latitude, longitude or Y, X. Check when coordinates comes in the other order. This field is only visible when Location Service Type is GML/WFS.

Appearance: Shape and Size

Parameters for Appearance: Shape and Size
Property	Use	Description
Shape	default:Bubbles	The shape of the symbols. Supports various shapes as alternatives to bubbles, such as triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons and bars. Also custom symbols (png, gif, jpg, svg etc) from URLs are supported. Note that the behavior of bars is a bit different from the other shapes in that it grows only upwards. Possible values are: Bubbles - Filled circles Triangles - Filled triangles Squares - Filled squares Pentagons - Filled pentagons Hexagons - Filled hexagons Bars - Filled rectangles, anchored at the point and size controlls only height Symbols - Any symbol from an URL can be specified in the Symbol URL expression field.
Min Radius/Width	default:5	The minimum size of bubbles in pixels. The lowest value will be mapped to this size. This property is not available if Shape is Bars or Symbols.
Max Radius/Width	default:20	The maximum size of bubbles in pixels. The highest value will be mapped to this size. This property is not available if Shape is Bars or Symbols.
Width	default:10	The width of each bar in pixels. This property is only available if Shape is Bars.
Min Height	default:0	The minimum height of bars in pixels. The lowest value will be mapped to this height. This property is only available if Shape is Bars.
Max Height	default:20	The maximum size of bubbles in pixels. The highest value will be mapped to this size. This property is only available if Shape is Bars.
Min Radius Value	default:Auto	The value in the data that is mapped to the smallest bubbles, i.e. bubbles with size "Min Radius". When set to Auto this value is set to the lowest value in the selection. This has the effect that the bubble size might change for a particular point when the selection changes. If this is not the desired behavior, specify a value here.
Max Radius Value	default:Auto	The value in the data that is mapped to the largest bubbles, i.e. bubbles with size "Max Radius". When set to Auto this value is set to the highest value in the selection. This has the effect that the bubble size might change for a particular point when the selection changes. If this is not the desired behavior, specify a value here.
Image URL	default:	The URL of the symbol image to use. Supports at least the formats png, gif, jpg and svg (browser dependent). Note that the field is an expression and that the URL should be enclosed in single quotes. Also note that the image must be accessible to the GeoAnalytics server which means that it will need to be on the Internet (if you are not hosting your own GeoAnalytics server). This property is only available if Shape is Symbols.
Scale	default:1.0	The scale of the symbol image, where 1.0 represents the original image size, 0.5 half and 2.0 double the size. Note that the field is an expression so different symbols can therefore have different scales.
Rotation	default:0	The rotation, in degrees, of the symbol image. Note that the field is an expression so different symbols can therefore have different rotations.

Appearance: Colors

Parameters for Appearance: Colors
Property	Use	Description
Colors	default:Auto	In Auto the colors are mapped to values based on if there is a color measure and its type. The second measure after the location controls color. When set to Custom more options are displayed, see below.
Colors Drop Down	default:By Measure	Choose between "Single Color" "By Dimension", "By Measure" and "By Expression". "By Measure" is only displayed when there is a color measure. "By Expression" requires for technical reasons that there is at least one measure. Additional options are displayed for the particular choices.
Transparency	default:0	A slider that controls transparency of objects from no transparency to invisible.
Outline Color	default:#aaaaaa	Determines outline color of features. If the field is empty the default value is used. All valid CSS colors can be used.

Appearance: Label

Parameters for Appearance: Label
Property	Use	Description
Show Label	default:unchecked	When checked, the label defined by the expression is displayed at each object.
Label	default:	An expression that is displayed as a label next to each object. Only visible when "Show Label" is checked.
