Shape
The Shape property settings determine the shape or set of shapes of markers in a marker layer. These shapes can be fixed (the same for all markers), or they can vary depending on the value of a specified column. The marker shapes, along with their colors, sizes, and drawing order, can convey meaning to the users viewing the map.
Property setting | Description |
---|---|
Fixed shape | Specifies that all markers have the same shape. By default, the shape is a filled circle. Change the shape by clicking the drop-down arrow and selecting another shape.
Tip: Marker shapes like arrows indicate directions. If you select such a marker shape and specify a
Rotation, you can visualize different directions of the markers.
|
Shape by column values | Specifies that the shape is determined by the column value selected from the drop-down. This option is useful if the column does not have many values and shapes can be easily distinguished or do not need to be repeated. |
