3.10.2.3 About Hexagonal Data Visualization Using H3 Aggregations

Oracle Spatial Studio allows you to visualize point-type map data using hexagons with H3 (Hexagonal Hierarchical Spatial Index) aggregations.

Visualizing your map data as hexagons has several advantages:

• It helps you to identify patterns or clusters in a larger point dataset
• Easier interpretation of data, as in a hexagonal cell, all the points are equidistant from the hexagon center-point
• Hexagonal cells are color coded based on the number of datapoints they hold, which enables you to easily understand data patterns

The following sections describe how you can use H3 aggregations in Spatial Studio:

• Preparing an H3 Aggregation Dataset
