World Map Property Reference

In the widget's side panel (Figure 195, “Widget menu options”) click the widget icon and the style icon to configure the following properties.

  • Title

    The title of the widget as displayed in the dashboard.

  • Description

    The description of the time chart. This is free form text supporting markdown syntax.

    This same description appears in the dashboard as a tooltip by hovering over the question mark on top of the widget.

  • Center

    Allows you to center the map on a specific area or country. You can also zoom in or out the map. Available settings are:

    • Latitude

    • Longitude

    • Zoom Level

  • Marks

    • Magnitude Mode

      Determines how to scale the mark for each location based on the magnitude field.

      Valid options are:

      • None — no magnitude mode is selected so the marks are not scaled based on the magnitude field.

      • Opacity — scale mark opacity based on the magnitude field (more opacity in the dots for larger values).

      • Size — scale mark size based on the magnitude field (larger dots for larger values).

    Depending on the mode selected:

    • Point Size — when the Size magnitude mode is not selected, this slider allows to set the fixed size of the marks in a range between 1 and 40 pixels.

    • Point Opacity — when the Opacity magnitude mode is not selected, this slider allows to set the fixed opacity of the marks in a range between 1 and 100 percent.

    When Size magnitude mode is selected, you can set:

    • Min Point Size — the minimum size of the marks on each location.

    • Max Point Size — the maximum size of the marks on each location.

    When Opacity magnitude mode is selected, you can set:

    • Min Opacity — the minimum opacity of the marks on each location.

    • Max Opacity — the maximum opacity of the marks on each location.

  • Projection

    • Type

      Valid options are:

      • Mercator — depicts the standard, cylindrical map projection that represent north as up and south as down everywhere while preserving local directions and shapes.

      • Albers USA — depicts an equal area conic projection used to visualize US States.

      • Orthographic — depicts a hemisphere of the globe as it appears from outer space.

    • Rotate

      Allows rotation of the map. Valid options are:

      • Rotation X

      • Rotation Y

      • Rotation Z
