CleverMaps platform supports several visulization types on how to display data in a map. These are:
Zones
Markers
Every visualization type is suitable for particular purpose. Read more about individual visualization types here: Administrative units, Heatmap, Dotmap, Grid, Lines, Zones and Markers.
User interaction
Change the visualization type by clicking on Visualization menu in the upper part of the screen. Some of the visualization types provides different levels of detail, e.g. hierarchy of administrative units. You can change the level of detail in Granularity menu next to Visualization menu.
Color Scales
CleverMaps provides several types of color scales which are ready to use for all available types of visualizations except heatmap.
standard
positive
negative
inverse
heat
heatmap
traffic
magma
viridis
binaryStandard
binaryNegative
divergingStandard
divergingNegative
You can explore all types of visualisation and color scales in our demo project.
For more details about how to set up type of visualisation or color scale for your data refer to our Documentation for Developers.
Limitations
The specific structure of data does not allow all data to be displayed in all visualization types and level of detail. There are two main restrictions:
Metrics specification
Certain metrics are bound to specific administrative divisions only and could not be displayed via hexagonal grids (for example Population). Some metrics can even be bound to just one level of granularity. In such cases, it might not be possible to:
display the detail of an indicator, if currently selected granularity is not supported by the metrics
switch to different levels of granularity, if the detail of restricted indicator is currently open
Zoom level
Zooming out to display huge amounts of polygons in the map could pose serious demands on your browser's performance up to crashing it completely. That is why we have to set an upper limit to the zoom for each level of granularity.
If you hit the ceiling when zooming out and want to zoom out even more, make sure to change the granularity to a lower level of detail.
Levels of granularity that do not support the current zoom level are marked with "+" icon. Selecting such granularity will automatically zoom the map to the closest supported zoom level.
