Graphbuilder - Map

Mi

Hello everybody,
 
I am currently working on creating maps.
 
 How can I keep the "sharpness" of a map (background) when zooming?
undefined

 

Can be a number instead of points = location number on the map.
 
undefined

 

 
A label is too big for that.
 
undefined

 

undefined

Can I move points on top of each other with a line? The starting point must remain fixed.

 

Many thanks for the help.

Re: Graphbuilder - Map

Use for marker takes the values of the column you specify as the markers. If you had a period in the column either alone or with additional text such as "4." this would be used as the marker. The other option of using a row and column label will give you the marker (dot) and the text.

Hi Mi,

 

To have a number instead of points, you can use the column containing the numbers as markers. To treat a column as a marker, right click on the column panel and choose "use for marker".

To move points that are on top of each other, you can use both a row and column label. These always appear on a graph unlike a hover label and can be moved by dragging the label. To add a row label, select all rows then right click-Label.

For the resolution of the background map, I have had the most luck with the street map service when zooming into specific latitude/longitude points.

Re: Graphbuilder - Map

Hello Olivia,

Thank you for the answer. It works great.
Just not with Street Map in the background. The border line of Baden-Württemberg should be visible.
The dots are hardly visible here either.
Is there another way to zoom in much closer?
Unfortunately, I don't understand how to create a map shape myself.
Maybe you could help me with this?
How do I create a map of Baden-Württemberg?

Re: Graphbuilder - Map

The line color and thickness for the boundary lines around Baden-Württemberg can be customized so that they are visible. If you right click on your map, there is an option for customize. Within customize, you can select an element from the left hand side and choose what to customize.

To see the points, the points can be made larger or the transparency of the background map can be changed. To make the points larger, right click on the map and go to graph>marker size. To change the transparency of the background map, right click on the map and go to customize, then select the background map. Zooming can be done using the zoom tool on the toolbar or by adjusting the axis. 

 

To create a map of only Baden-Württemberg, would require the shape file for just this area. Here is the link for creating custom maps.

Re: Graphbuilder - Map

Many thanks for the quick response.

That worked so far. Can I use a "." (dot) and "Use for marker" in the graph?
have it shown?

Thanks for the help!
