Customizing Geo Charts

Zoho Analytics provides extensive possibilities to customize the map settings. This section discusses the different options available in Zoho Analytics to customize the appearance of a Map view.

General 

The General Settings tab help you modify the Title, add description about the map view that is created. You can also choose whether or not to display the missing values.

Follow the below steps to customize Map settings,

  1. Click the Settings icon on the top right corner.
  2. The General settings tab will open. You can modify the settings as needed.
  3. Click Apply.

Map Chart Settings

The Map Chart Settings page allows you to customize the Map view. Follow the below steps to customize the map

  • Open the map view you want to customize.
  • Click the Settings icon in the top right corner of the view.
  • The Settings page will open. Select the Maps tab to access the Map Chart Settings page.
  • The Map Chart Settings page has four main sections, which allow you to customize the Map view

    1. Map Styles
    2. Map Controls
    3. Markers
    4. Data Label

1. Map Styles

Background

You can choose the Background for the chart you create or use a custom image to analyze data. The following are the options available to customize the backgrounds of the views you create.

You can switch between these options in the Background section.

Map Themes

You can switch between different themes while creating a map view.

  • Light: Applies a light gray color to the water areas and a white color to the land areas.
  • Dark: Applies a dark gray color to water and a white color to land.
  • Blue: Applies a light blue color to water and a white color to land.
  • Custom: Applies a darker shade of the selected color to water and a light shade to land.
  • Satellite: Applies a satellite map. 
  • The Invert Color toggle button, when enabled, switches the colors between water and land area. 

You can adjust the opacity of the background map using the Washout option. This allows the data points or layers overlaid on the map to stand out more clearly against the less prominent background.

2. Map Controls

The Map Control section allows you to customize the map features by displaying specific country and state maps and adding map layers.

Display Specific Country Map

Zoho Analytics offers two map projections to plot data on a map view. You can choose the projection based on your needs.

  • Mercator Projection - This is a conformal cylindrical projection that is widely used and is the default projection used while creating a map view in Zoho Analytics. By default, the world (all the countries) map will be displayed. You can choose a specific country map to be on display.
  • Albers USA Projection - This projection could be the ideal choice for visualizing US-centric data, as it shows Alaska and Hawaii in close proximity to the other states.
Note: If the data has values of other countries, using Albers USA Projection will display only the US data and ignore the other countries' data.

To display a specific country / state map,

  • Open the Map Chart Settings and select the Map Controls section.
  • Select the Display Specific Country Map checkbox.
  • Click the drop-down and select the projection of your choice from the list.
  • From the Countries drop-down, select All Countries to visualize the world map or select specific countries to visualize a specific country map.
  • Based on the Countries selected, you can choose to visualize all states or specific states of the country from the State drop-down.
  • Enable the checkbox below to display the entire country map, if there are data points in any of the states in that country.
  • Map Layers - This option allows you to add/remove different layers of data and data labels in the selected geo map. You can add/remove data like country/state borders, water borders, roadway lines, airports, railways, etc.,
  • Repeat Background - Enabling this option allows the background map to tile or repeat itself across the chart area. This ensures that the map remains visible and consistent, even when zooming or panning to different regions of the chart.

3. Markers

The Markers section allows you to customize the markers used in the Map view.

  • Marker Type - Select a marker from the different types of markers available.
  • Marker Fill Color  - Select the marker color; you can choose either Solid or Pattern for your marker.
  • Stroke Color - Select the stroke color for the marker.
  • Marker Size - Adjust the marker size using the scroll bar or the percentage tab.
  • Heat Radius (applicable for Geo Heat Map chart) - This option allows you to specify a boundary to combine the data points for heat calculation. 
  • Heat Intensity (applicable for Geo Heat Map chart) - This option allows you to specify the percentage to intensify the heat of the chart. 
  • Heat Opacity (applicable for Geo Heat Map chart) - This option allows you to customize the opacity (transparency) of the heat map. 

4. Data Label

  • Data Label - This option allows you to add the Y-axis value as a data label on the map chart. You can also customize the font, font size, font style, and color of the data label.
  • Data Label Opacity - This option allows you to adjust the opacity of the data label based on your need.
  • Overlap Data Label - Enabling this option allows you to overlap your data labels, allowing all your data labels to be displayed. By default, few data labels may be hidden to avoid overlapping.
     

Format

You can modify the Format of the columns used in the reports whenever needed.


 

Legend Settings

The legend in a chart provides a quick overview of the different data series involved in the chart along with the color associated with each series. Legend consists of Legend Title and Legend Items. Each legend item consists of a colored box that indicates the data series and the name of the data series.

In Zoho Analytics, by default, the legend will be placed on the right side of the chart and legend items will be added to it depending on the data series involved in the chart. You can customize the legend position, legend title, legend filters and the colors of each data series easily.

The following table describes the options available in the Legend tab:

Colors

Using this option, you can override the colors of the individual series of the chart. Once you override the palette, you will find the following options. 

  • Use Palette Colors  - Click this to reset the color to the selected palette. 
  • Save as New Palette - Click this to save the selected colors as a new palette for the workspace.
