Examples and guides for the Qlik GeoOperations. The examples are self sufficient with data and reloadable. The examples are minimal to explain to basic functionality. Please use the documentation for details of the operations. The examples works on Qlik SaaS and requires a GeoAnalytics license.

GeoOperations is simple, for instance, here's how to load a shapefile:

Load * Extension GeoOperations.ScriptEval(' load() DATASOURCE shape GEOFILE type="shape", url="https://dl.dropbox.com/s/ipi6tazxwkbuzu6/continents.zip?dl=0"');

Load * Extension GeoOperations.ScriptEval(' load() DATASOURCE cont GEOFILE type="shape", url="lib://DataFiles/continents.shpzip")';

GeoOperations Examples.qvf: Example with all basic operations

Binning
Cluster
Closest
Dissolve
Intersect
Load
Routes
Simplify
TravelAreas
Within

GeoOperations BigQuery.qvf: Example of how to load from Google Big Query (requires a Google BigQuery license and instance).

GeoOperations CSV example.qvf: Example of how to use more than one internal table as input.

Qlik Geocoding in GeoOperations.qvf: Example of how to use Geocoding, TravelArea and Closest in runtime (requires a Qlik Geocoding license).

Please use the GeoOperations template for Qlik Geocoding, available in Qlik Geocoding Geocoding Template, Data and presentation.

Hello Patric,

Good examples, however, I'd like to test the cluster operation with my own data. ¿Could you provide me an example, please?

thanks

Julian

@julian_rodriguez it's very similar to how to do Binning from points, here's an example. Loading first airports and store as points. Then use the points as indata.

cp_ap: Load * Extension GeoOperations.ScriptEval(' Select Name as cp_ap, LocationPoint as cp_ap_pt from Load() DATASOURCE cp_ap LOCATIONSERVICE geometry="POINT", type="XIATA", country="us" '); cp: Load * Extension GeoOperations.ScriptEval(' Select INTABLE.cp_ap as cp_ap, ClusterID as cp_id, Clusters.ClusterPoint as cp_pt from Cluster(distance="500000") ', cp_ap);

@Patric_Nordstrom As the World's expert on GeoOperations, I am trying to generate dynamic Travel Areas that show an individually sized Travel Areas for each point on my map.

Whilst I can get individual Travel areas for 5kms I'm trying to get one point with 5kms and others with 2.5 or 1km .

I'm using the [Data.Source Site Name] as my dimension and this expression in the locations input

=GeoOperations.ScriptEvalStr('Select TravelArea from TravelAreas(costValue="$(vTA)", costUnit="kilometers", transportation="bird")', GeoTAPoint)

vTA =Aggr(Avg(USDistance),[Data.Source Site Name])

Is this possible?

Greatest Regards

Chris
