Analyze

EasyMap offers various analysis functions to color the district areas in the map data-dependently or to provide them with diagrams (e.g. pie sector chart- or bar charts). For location analyses, symbols and perimeters are available. All analysis options can be found in the Analyses menu.

The following types of analysis are available:

EasyMap provides the appropriate Legend for each analysis. These can be inserted most conveniently via the navigation window Objekte using Drag&Drop everywhere on the sheet.

Adding a New Analysis

To be able to access the various types of analysis, you must have inserted a base map on a sheet.

You can insert a new analysis by selecting the relevant analysis from the Analyses menu. Then a dialog opens where you can:

The analysis type (only for analyses where a selection is necessary) and
select the data for analysis - data basis.
With a click on Ok the analysis is immediately displayed on the map.

The further settings for the analysis can then be adjusted in the Properties dialog that opens. Like all other elements, the analysis can be made visible or invisible.

Editing Existing Analyses

If you have already inserted an analysis, you can still change certain settings later.

Changing the analysis settings

Open the context menu of the relevant analyses in control window Analyses or in control window Contents. Click on Properties..., or double-click on the analysis with the mouse.

You can then change the properties of the analysis.

Changing the data basis

You can change the data basis directly in the properties of the respective analysis by clicking on ... on the right side of the Table selection in the Data area of the Properties window under a property (for example, color or symbol) of the analysis and opening the Data Basis dialog box.

Alternative: Open the context menu of the respective analyses in the control window Contents or Analyses. There you can click on the point Data basis... .

You can then change the settings for the data input.

Additional commands in the context menu of the analysis

You can right-click on an analysis in the control window Contents or on a selected object in the map window to open its context menu (right-click). This offers some actions that can be performed on this object.

All actions that can be applied to an analysis can also be found in the respective properties window of the analysis.
