GeoMap customized region only

David888 — Tue, 09 Jul 2019 17:20:11 GMT

We have been trying to add the shapefiles for an area (e.g., province), we can see the shapes appear on the whole world map when we zoom in properly and we like it. However, can anyone please help is it possible to remove the background World map and leave the shapes there only in SAS VA? Basically we only want the area with the shapes, and everywhere else will be white out (example attached). We are new users and did not find where to click yet. Thank you so much!

Not sure what version of Visual Analytics you are using - but the ability to turn off the map background has been added to VA 7.5 and VA 8.x. In the options panel you can uncheck the 'map background' option. This feature has been used in the gallery example https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Visual-Analytics-Gallery/Analyzing-US-Wildfires-using-SAS-Visual-Analytics/ta-p/467894 where the top right county map of Florida only shows the custom polygons. Hope this helps! Regards, Falko

Just realized - I referenced a wrong version in my previous reply. I corrected that - the correct version is VA 7.5 or any of the newer SAS Viya based releases (VA 8.x). Sorry about the typo.

Great. If that solution addressed the original problem - maybe mark this question as accepted solution. This way, others will quickly see if a particular topic got resolved or not. Thanks!
