PointValuePlot
PointValuePlot[{pt1val1,pt2val2,…}]
plots the points pti styled according to the values vali.
PointValuePlot[ptsvals]
uses a collection of points pti from pts with corresponding values vali from val.
PointValuePlot[…,enc]
uses the visual encoding enc to represent the values vali in the plot.
PointValuePlot[data,…]
plots the locations and values from data.
Details and Options
- PointValuePlot is also known as a graduated symbol map and thematic map.
- PointValuePlot uses various visual encodings enc such as color, size and shape to represent values at specific locations.
- The coordinates {x,y} in point pti can be given in the following forms:
-
xi a real-valued number Quantity[xi,unit] a quantity with a unit Around[xi,ei] value xi with uncertainty ei Interval[{xmin,xmax}] values between xmin and xmax - The ptsi can be geographic locations with the following forms:
-
GeoPosition[{lat,lon}] latitude and longitude Entity[…] geographic entity Dated[…] dated entity - Multiple points pts can be given in the following forms:
-
{pt1,pt2,…} list of individual points QuantityArray[…] array of quantities GeoPosition[…] array of geodetic positions - The values vali can be any form, including:
-
n numeric value Quantity[vali,unit] magnitude with units "str" string RGBColor[…],Hue[…],… color {vali1,vali2,…} list of values - Multiple values values can be given in the following forms:
-
{val1,val2,…} list of individual values QuantityArray[{val1,val2,…},unit] array of quantities Dataset[…] dataset of values - The data data for PointValuePlot can be given in the following forms:
-
{e1,e2,…} list of elements with or without wrappers <k1e1,k2e2,… > association of keys and values SpatialPointData[…] spatial points and annotations WeightedData[…] positions with weights for values w[{e1,e2,…},…] wrapper applied to a whole dataset w[{data1,data1,…},…] wrapper applied to all datasets - The following wrappers can be used for plot elements:
-
Annotation[e,label] provide an annotation Button[e,action] define an action to execute when the element is clicked Callout[e,label] label the data with a callout EventHandler[e,…] define a general event handler for the element Hyperlink[e,uri] make the element act as a hyperlink Labeled[e,…] display the element with labeling Legended[e,…] include features of the element in a chart legend PopupWindow[e,cont] attach a popup window to the element StatusArea[e,label] display in the status area when the element is moused over Style[e,opts] show the element using the specified styles Tooltip[e,label] attach an arbitrary tooltip to the element - Data not given in these forms is ignored in forming the plot.
- By default, the encoding enc is automatically chosen based on the forms of the values vali.
- Possible settings for the encoding enc can be:
-
"Size" vary the point sizes according to the values "Color" smoothly color the points according to the values "DiscreteColor" discretely color the points according to the values "Shape" vary the shape of the point according to the values "Label" label the points with the values func apply func to the values to determine the point marker nenc encode the n value for a point with the encoding enc m;;nenc encode the m through n values with the encoding enc Allenc encode all the values for a point with the encoding enc {enc1,enc2,…} use different encodings for different values - PointValuePlot takes the same options as Graphics with the following additions and changes: [List of all options]
