An analogous straight table for a markers layer is defined as follows:

• Dimension1: Dimension
• Dimension2: Marker Latitude
• Dimension3: Marker Longitude
• Expression1: Popup Content
• Expression2: Marker Fill Color
• Expression3: Marker Outline Color
• Expression4: Marker Opacity
• Expression5: Marker Size
• Expression6: Marker Icon
• Expression7: Spider Expression
• Expression8: Radial Expression

Defines the points being plotted. This value will be selected when lassoing.

Select marker as the dimension type and a field from the dimension drop-down.

Calculated dimensions can be created by selecting <Use Expression> from the drop-down. See Calculated Dimensions for syntax.

QlikMaps will auto-select the latitude associated with the selected dimension.

If QlikMaps can't find an associated latitude field, a drop-down will display where a latitude field can be selected. Select a field that defines the latitude for each point.

If you need to modify the auto-selected latitude, expand the dimension caption by clicking on it and select the gears to see the latitude field selector.

Note - The latitude must use geographic coordinate system WGS 84 - EPSG:4326.

QlikMaps will auto-select the longitude associated with the selected dimension.

If QlikMaps can't find an associated longitude field, a drop-down will display where a longitude field can be selected. Select a field that defines the longitude for each point.

If you need to modify the auto-selected longitude, expand the dimension caption by clicking on it and select the gears to see the longitude field selector.

Note - The latitude must use geographic coordinate system WGS 84 - EPSG:4326.

QlikMaps will title the layer based on the dimension name.

To provide a customized layer title, expand the dimension caption and provide a layer title. This title will display in the layer control of the map.

This button is off by default. Checking it will enable hover tooltips that display the dimension value over the point.

Displays a round point where color, size and opacity can be used to represent 3 different metrics at one lat/lng point.

Select bubble from the type drop-down.

Displays an image on the lat/lng point.

Select 'Image' from the 'Type' drop-down.

By default, 'green_check.png' is defined to illustrate the formatting necessary to reference an image. Replace 'green_check.png' with the path to the desired image.

NOTE - 'green_check.png' is in the /img directory of the QlikMaps install directory. Any other image in that directory can be referenced similarly without a full path.

Additional information can be found in the Using Icons as Points article.

Displays HTML content on a lat/lng point.

Select HTML from the type drop-down.

By default, a basic HTML marker is created that displays the dimension name.

Advanced HTML can be used to render any HTML content on the point using the syntax provided in the editor.

All sizing, placement and content can be controlled by the HTML in the expression box. However, centering can be handled differently. If the 'Auto Center' button is selected one of the following occurs:

• If the HTML is wrapped in a 'div' element, then apply css to that div wrapper to center it
• if the HTML is NOT wrapped in a 'div' element, then wrap it in '<div>' '</div>' and center the new wrapper

Additional examples can be located on the QlikMaps download site in the QlikMaps for Points.qvw.

Also, see Using HTML as Points article for more information.

The markers defined will be represented as a heatmap.

By default, marker density is used for a heatmap. An expression can be used instead by expanding the type caption and selecting the gears.

Checking this box will enable the heatmap in the layer selection in addition to the marker layer. By default, the heatmap layer will be turned off.

By default, marker density is used for the heatmap. Checking this box allows you to use the size expression instead.

Adjusts the intensity of the heatmap. This is useful if values are small and do not show well over a large area.

Defines the popup content that appears when a user clicks on a marker.

QlikMaps automatically generates popups where possible using the feature layer dimension and sizing expression.

A null value of ='-' will suppress popups on a per-row basis

Advanced popups can be created by unchecking auto generate popups and using an expression that returns HTML. Below are a few examples.

• Create a basic popup
• Create a Pie Chart popup from an external source
• Embed a Qlik Sense object in a popup

Defines the color of a marker bubble's outline.

The outline color defaults to white but can be changed by selecting an alternate color from the drop-down. An expression can also be used by selecting Expression from the drop down and using any expression that returns an RGB() value or HEX# formatted color code.

Width and Opacity can also be changed using the sliders. For more granular control click the Border caption and select the gears to use an expression to define the Width and Opacity.

• Width expects a number representing the width in pixels of the border.
• Opacity expects a number 0-100, excluding the value 1. 1 is unavailable due to backwards compatibility issues.

Spider plots draw one-to-many connections on the map.

Select a related layer from the drop-down to configure spider plots. If there is no other layer in the map object, no selections will be available in the drop-down.

Advanced configuration is possible by expanding the spider plots caption and selecting the gears. You will then be allowed to enter expressions that create spider plots.

Configuring and using Spider Plots

Radial plots group points together using circles.

Select the type of radial to draw:

• Fixed Distance draws two radials based on the position of the two sliders. The aggregate field drop down allows for aggregations in the radial popups.
• Quantile by Marker Count groups points equally into the number of radii selected in the slider. The aggregate field drop down allows for aggregations in the radial popups
• Quantile by KPI groups points equally based on the expression in the aggregate field expression.

Advanced functionality is possible by clicking on the radial plots caption and selecting the gears. You will then be allowed to enter expressions that will effect the drawn radials and aggregation expression.

Configuring and using Radial Plots

Drilling defines a selection path for moving from one layer to another.

• In the parent drop-down select the layer drilled from
• In the Before drilling... drop-down, select how to handle the current layer when the parent layer is visible.
  • Hidden creates the layer but hides it by default. The user can make it visible using the layer control. Note that  Hidden  uses RAM and CPU even while the layer is not visible.
  • Unavailable does not process the layer. It is not visible on the map or in the layer control. Unavailable uses NO RAM or CPU.
• In the After drilling... drop-down select what to do with the current layer once the count of the of the current layer is 1.

If the drop-downs are used any time a single area or point is selected, the next more granular layer will be shown. If more control over drilling is necessary, select the gears icon to show the Show/Hide Expression and Calculation Condition.

• The Show/Hide Expression can be any expression that returns either on or hidden.
• The Calculation Condition can be any expression that returns either True() or False().

Page height is only displayed if the advanced settings box is checked under map settings.

Page height adjusts the number of features loaded on to a single layer at a time. The result will be the defined number of features (Points or Polygons) being loaded on to the map, and then more of the same number of features, until the cube height is reached.

Cube height is only displayed if the advanced settings box is checked under map settings.

Cube height adjusts the maximum number of features to be loaded on to the map per layer.

Cube height needs to be an exact multiple of page height.
