We have been trying to add shape files for particular location, for which the locations were shown over the report, along with that entire world map was also added over it, Can some one guide me to freeze particular locations in area map and provide interactions to that?
Geographical maps in SAS Visual Analytics will always default to a zoom level which shows all available data points or region. You could consider having an interaction setup between another control or visualization to only filter regions of interest. If such filter interaction changes - the map should also automatically zoom to the desired area.
Alternatively - try the SAS Visual Analytics viewer application (top right menu -> view report). This application remembers the last zoom state in geographical maps. So if you pan/zoom to a desired area and close the report - it will restore that zoom state next time the report is open. This is on user level though.
Hope this helps. Regards, Falko
Hello,
Can you clarify what you mean by "freeze particular locations"?
It sounds like you also want to add custom shape files to Visual Analytics. Have you had success in this?
Thanks,
Sam
Whether your map uses standard geographical overlays (countries, states, etc.) or is based on custom polygon boundaries - won't change the behavior. The geo map will always zoom to a level to show all data points (or regions). If you want to restrict the view to a particular region and auto-zoom the map to a more granular level - you can apply filters or setup interactivity as mentioned in my previous reply.
Hope this helps. Falko
