Unit Charts

The analysis Unit Charts generates symbol groups in which the number of symbols is determined by the respective data value. The diagrams then consist of several stacked symbols.

Creating a New Analysis

The analysis count diagrams can be inserted via the control window data. Select one of your data columns and drag and drop it onto the map using drag and drop.

Analysis Type

In the first step, select the Analysis subtype. You can choose between a site-related and a area-related representation of the diagrams. The analysis type determines whether a diagram is generated per area (area-related) or per data set (location-related).

Note: You can also insert your analysis via the menu bar Analyze. You get an analysis without predefined settings and value classes.

Set Properties of the Analysis

Properties refers to all settings for calculating and displaying the analysis. You can select certain columns of the previously defined table to control certain aspects of the display (for example, the color). You also reach this settings dialog if you want to edit existing analyses.

The most important settings besides the selection of the column to be evaluated can be found under Details. Under Display you first select the symbol that is to be displayed in groups. By default the circle is selected here. At Value per Symbol you can enter which data value a symbol should correspond to.

Chart

Under Diagram you define which data the diagram should display. You can also specify the coloring and size proportions of the diagram and other diagram options.

Determine the details of the analysis

In Details you define other (non-data-dependent) properties of the analysis.

For example, you may set the sorting of the groups of symbols in the Details section, or define the Symbol and Value per Symbol.

Labeling

In addition to labeling the groups of symbols, each chart may contain a label that applies to the entire chart (for example, the name of the area to which the chart refers). The settings for this can be defined under Labeling.

  • If the analysis area-related is created, EasyMap offers the possibility to label each symbol or object with the name or number of the corresponding area (geographical data).
  • With the analysis subtype Location-related, however, only the columns of the data table used as the data basis for the analysis can be used for labeling.

Note: How to insert diagram texts and how to influence the display of the texts can be found here.

Tooltip

When driving over the diagrams on the map, you can display user-defined information about them.
