Grid layers are similar to heatmaps. They show the density of points. They provide visual discrepancy in a map where multiple heatmap-style layers are present.

Grid layers are usefful for visualization in 2D and 3D view.

Settings

The following sections detail every setting available for the Grid Layer.

Basic

Core settings for the Grid Layer.

Setting	Description
Layer Type	Must be Grid to display the Grid Layer.
Dataset	The dataset to use for the Grid Layer.
Columns	Select a latitude and longitude.

Color

Color settings for the Grid Layer.

Setting	Description
Color Based On	The column to base the grid color on. Defaults to point count.
Color Scale	The color scale and palette for the grid color.
Filter By Count Percentile	Modify the color scale's range by count percentile.
Opacity	The opacity of the grid. 100 = fully opaque, 0 = fully transparent.

Radius

Resolution settings for the Grid Layer.

Setting	Description
Radius (Km)	The size of each square in kilometers.
Coverage	The amount of each grid space covered by the square. Decrease to leave extra space between each square of the grid.

Height

Height settings for the Grid Layer. Best viewed in 3D mode.

Setting	Description
Height Multiplier	The factor to multiply the height by. Increase to raise the height of each square on the grid.
Height Based On	A column to base the height on. Defaults to point count.
Height Scale	A scaling factor to apply to the height. Choose from linear, sqrt, or log.
Height Range	Set the minimum and maximum height on the slider.
Fixed Height	Fix the height to a static number without any modifications.
