Grid aggregation

Grid aggregation

edit

Grid aggregation layers use GeoTile grid aggregation to group your documents into grids. You can calculate metrics for each gridded cell.

Symbolize grid aggregation metrics as:

Clusters
Creates a vector layer with a cluster symbol for each gridded cell. The cluster location is the weighted centroid for all documents in the gridded cell.
Grid rectangles
Creates a vector layer with a bounding box polygon for each gridded cell.
Heat map
Creates a heat map layer that clusters the weighted centroids for each gridded cell.

To enable a grid aggregation layer:

  1. Click Add layer, then select the Clusters and grids or Heat map layer.

To enable a blended layer that dynamically shows clusters or documents:

  1. Click Add layer, then select the Documents layer.
  2. Configure Data view and the Geospatial field.
  3. In Scaling, select Show clusters when results exceed 10000.
