Polygon Layer

Polygon Layer can display GeoJSON features. GeoJSON supports the following geometry types: Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString, MultiPolygon.

A polygon GeoJSON layer is essentially a choropleth layer and works best for rendering geofences. Fill color or height can be set with a numerical field. For example, it can display population by census tracts.

Settings

The follow sections detail every setting available in the Polygon Layer.

Basic

Core settings for the Polygon Layer.

SettingDescription
Layer TypeMust be Polygon to use the Polygon Layer.
DatasetThe dataset to use for the Polygon Layer.
ColumnsThe column(s) containing polygon data.
GeoJSONA GeoJSON FeatureCollection to use for polygon generation. See above.
Table columnsTabular input used for polygon generation. See above.

Fill Color

Settings related to the fill color of the polygons.

SettingDescription
Fill Color ToggleToggle on/off to show/hide fill color.
Color Based OnThe field to base the fill color on.
Color ScaleThe color scale and palette for the fill color.
OpacityThe opacity of the fill color. 100 = fully opaque, 0 = fully transparent.

Stroke Color

Settings related to the stroke color of the polygons.

SettingDescription
Stroke ToggleToggle on/off to show/hide stroke.
Stroke Color Based OnThe field to base the stroke color on.
Stroke Color ScaleThe color scale and palette for the stroke color.

Stroke Width

Settings related to the stroke widths of the polygons.

SettingDescription
Stroke WidthThe stroke width in pixels. When based on a column, define a range instead of a static width.
Stroke Width Based OnA field to base stroke width on.

Height

Height settings for the polygon layer. Height is best viewed with the 3D viewing mode.

SettingDescription
Height SliderIncrease to raise the height of the layer's polygon.
Height Based OnAn column to base the height off of.
Height ScaleChoose from linear, sqrt, and log.
Fixed HeightApplies height without additional modifications.
Shows WireframeShow the wireframes that define the polygon.

SettingDescription
Label FieldSelect a field to display on the label.
Font SizeThe size of the font to use on the label.
Font ColorThe color of the label font.
Outline WidthThe width of the outline in pixels. Set to 0 to disable the outline.
Outline ColorThe color for the outline label.
Background ColorToggle to enable a background color for the label. Choose a color with the color selector.
Text AnchorWhere, relative to the polygons, to anchor the text. Choose from start, middle, or end.
AlignmentHow to align the text. Choose from top, middle, or bottom.
