How to plot logos (images) on the map through a local url?

Good afternoon,

I am plotting logos(images) on a layer of points in Qlik Geoanalytics.

I can plot the logos on the map using the google drive url. However, I need the url to be from a local directory.

Can someone help me?

thanks.

In the QGA map view any image needs to be visible from the map server. So, no, local images won't display.

Thanks,

You could base64 encode the images and then the image data is available locally.

Attached is text file of Base64 encoding of a simple map marker (courtesy https://icons8.com/icons/set/map-marker). I use https://www.base64-image.de/ to do the conversion. (This was inspired by original work from @Patric_Nordstrom ).

There is probably a limit to the size of the string, so you might have to park in variables or (probably better) into the data model. As it is a point layer, its size is fixed. I believe you can also use svg and manipulate its markup to make the symbology dynamic.

Hope this helps,

Martin
