Analyze

easymap offers various analysis functions to color the area areas on the map depending on the data or to provide them with diagrams (e.g. circle sector- or bar charts). For site analyses symbols and accessibility are available.

The following types of analysis are available:

easymap has the appropriate legend for every analysis. These can be displayed in the Control window Contents or Analyses. Or you can insert the legend via the context menu of the analysis or via the control window Objects anywhere on the sheet via Drag&Drop.

Adding a New Analysis

A prerequisite for accessing the various analyses is that you have included a base map on a sheet.

All analyses can be added to the map via the control window Data or via the menu Analyze. In the control window Data they can be added to a table or table column on the map via Drag&Drop.

A dialog box opens where you:

  • The method of Analysis
  • The analysis type(only for analyses where a selection is necessary), and
  • Select the Level and Assignation
  • By clicking Ok, your analysis will promptly display on the map, along with its default settings.

If you would like to create an analysis without default settings, then select the Analyze tap from the main menu.

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.

Note: It will only show you the possible options for selecting the table or the table column.

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 analyses in question in the Analyses control window or in the Contents control window. There, click the Properties... item, or double-click 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.

Alternatively: Open the context menu of the relevant analyses in the Contents or Analyses control window. From there, click on the 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.
