How to make data points larger on maps?

I can add points to a map, but how can I control their size?

Cheers

Tom

Have a look into this Video Example

Qlik Sense Desktop - Using Maps (Beta) Chart Object (video)

I've seen this video, but in this case a measure is used to size the points. What if I want to make them all bigger (but keep the relative sizes the same based on the measure).

In the case of the video, the author should want to make them all smaller to reduce the overlap (and then apply borders and transparency which also doesn't seem possible) as the points all lie on top of each other.

Hi Tom,

Currently there isn't a way to adjust the point size. Qlik Sense should automatically select an appropriate size point.

In your screen shot the dots too appear to be quite small compared to what I'm seeing in maps I have create. Would it be possible for you to share the QVF?

Yep, just trying to work out how to attach it...

I'm stuck... how do I attach to a reply? do I need to start a new thread?

In the top right of the response dialogue you will see "Use Advanced editor".

Once you click on that there is an "Attach" in in the bottom left of the response dialogue.

attached.

I don't think it makes sense for the tool to decide the size of the points - this is something the user should have control of (although the default size should be appropriate of course).

Cheers

Hi,

We will add a control so the user can change the size of the points through property panel.

Best,

It would be nice to be able to set the opacity of the markers on the map, or at least make the markers semi transparent per default. In some of my visualization I have a marker in central europe that covers all other markers on the continent which doesn't look nice.

Before Qlik I used leaflet to draw markers on a map and on in their api they default "fill opacity" to 0.2 which makes nicer visualizations imo.

Second that. Not only in the markers but also in the polygons we should be able to define the transparency.

Hi Tom - just following up on this older post to inform you in case you or others have not seen it. With version 1.0 of Qlik Sense (both Desktop and the Sense Platform) - you can now change the relevant size of the points.

You do this under the point layer section in the properties panel - using the Bubble size slider.

If this does now answer your specific question, please mark the appropriate replies as helpful / correct so our team and other members know that your question(s) has been answered to your satisfaction.

Regards,

Mike

Hi Viktor,

We will add this feature (layer opacity control) in the next release.
