About the Application of Formats in Map Views

There are various guidelines which apply to formats in map views.

  • The Color Fill, Bubble, Pie Graph, and Bar Graph formats apply to geographic areas such as polygons.
  • The Bubble, Variable Shape, Image, and Custom Point formats are based on a single latitude and longitude location (a point).
  • The line format is displayed only when a line geometry is present. Line formats are the only format that you can create for line geometries.
  • When you define formats, you can specify that different formats apply to different measure columns in a layer.
