Visualize Geometry Column Data

You can use the geometry column to start building a visualization.

  1. In the Data pane, locate the geometry column Geometry columnand drag it to the Visualize canvas.
    This is an example of a geometry data type column from an Oracle database visualizing the shape of US Counties with the metric Sales for Color.

    By default, the map visualization renders without any background map layer. If required, you can overlay the map shape on a background map layer.

    This is an example of US Counties and the buffer area from a storm path visualized with no background layer in the top row of the figure, and with the Oracle DataViz map background layer in the bottom row of the figure
