Colored map

The colored map is an interactive way to visualize how a measurement varies across a geographic area or to show variations within a region. The values that are displayed fall into a number of ranges. Each range is identified by a different color. When you hover over a region, the name of the region and the value assigned to it are displayed as a tooltip. If the region hierarchy contains sub-regions, such as states within a country and counties within states, you can click a region and drill down to the sub-regions.

On the map, click any country which contains regions and drill down. For example, Click USA > Florida > Miami Dade.

Note: For the Colored Map to display correctly, ensure that your data source includes ISO country codes and Region attribute defined in ISO 3166 or in FIPS 6-4 standards. You must select this attribute either in the Regions step or in Properties in the final widget.
