Map chart parameters

This table lists the Map chart parameters that are used to control the chart configuration and behavior:
Field Name Default Description
rv_map_type Map Type 1 Used to determine the type of map shown. The type of Map is displayed below the pivot area.

The map types:

  • 0 or not defined = 'Best Fit'
  • 1 = World
  • 2 = Continents
  • 3 = Africa
  • 4 = Asia
  • 5 = Oceania
  • 6 = Europe
  • 7 = North America
  • 8 = South America
  • 9 = USA
  • 10 = Brazil
  • 11 = Australia
  • 12 = Thailand
rv_map_show_labels Show Map Data labels TRUE Used to determine if the location labels are displayed on the map. For example, to display all the country names on the world map. Default = TRUE (when not defined).
rv_map_show_title Show Map title FALSE Used to determine if the analyzed measure is displayed in the map. When FALSE or undefined, the measure is displayed as the legend title.
rv_map_continent_attr Continent Attribute None Specified by the user to indicate the location attribute that determines the continent. This field is required when displaying the world continent map.
rv_map_country_attr Country Attribute None Specified by the user to indicate the location attribute that determines the country. This is an optional attribute, but is required to display the world map or individual continent map.
rv_map_province_attr Province Attribute None Specified by the user to indicate the location attribute to determine the province (that is state, region and so on). This is an optional attribute, required to display an individual country map. Specified by the user to indicate the latitude coordinate that determines the location of the data on the map. This parameter is required when using
rv_map_latitude Latitude coordinate rv_chart_type = 9Specified by the user to indicate (Map - Coordinates).
rv_map_longitude Longitude coordinate Specified by the user to indicate the longitude coordinate that determines the location of the data on the map. This parameter is required when using rv_chart_type = 9 (Map - Coordinates).
rv_map_crosshairs Show crosshairs FALSE Used to determine if cross hairs must be displayed on maps. When FALSE or undefined, cross hairs are not displayed. Default = FALSE. When set to TRUE, cross hairs are displayed on the map. Only valid when rv_chart_type = 6 or 9.
rv_color_palette Color Palette 0

The color palette is an ordered listing that ranges from 0 to 7. The corresponding number is added to the rv_color_palette parameter to represent the color that must be used.

The available color options:

  • 0 or not defined: Azure
  • 1 = Amber
  • 2 = Amethyst
  • 3 = Turquoise
  • 4 = Ruby
  • 5 = Emerald
  • 6 = Graphite
  • 7 = Slate

Default = Azure (0) when not defined. Only applicable when rv_chart_number = 6 or 9.

Note: If rv_measure_format is defined, then the rv_color_palette parameter is not considered.
rv_map_show_pie Show Map Pies FALSE Indicates if pie charts or bubbles are displayed on co-ordinate maps. Possible values:
  • TRUE: Pie charts are displayed on the maps.
  • FALSE: The bubbles are displayed on the maps.
Note: By default, the value is set to FALSE.
v_map_latitude_to Supply Destination latitude Null Indicates the Supply Destination latitude co-ordinate that are used to determine the destination location of supply line (from the current co-ordinate). This is an optional parameter which is available only when rv_chart_type is set to 9 (Map - Co-ordinates). This can be a location or an item attribute. This value must be specified in the I:attr1 or L:attr2 format. If item or location reference is not included, the location attribute is considered. This is valid only if the rv_map_latitude_to parameter is also populated, else not considered.
rv_map_longitude_to Supply Destination longitude Null Indicates the Supply Destination longitude co-ordinate that are used to determine the destination location of supply line (from the current co-ordinate). This can be a location or an item attribute. This value must be specified in the I:attr1 or L:attr2 format. If item or location reference is not included, the location attribute is considered. This is an optional parameter which is available only when rv_chart_type is set to 9 (Map - Co-ordinates). This is valid only if the rv_map_latitude_to parameter is also populated, else not considered.
rv_map_directional_arrows Show Supply Direction TRUE Indicates the direction of the supply (TRUE) using the supply line arrow. This is applicable only when co-ordinate map is used and the rv_map_latitude_to and rv_map_longitude_to are populated, else not considered. The default value is TRUE.
rv_map_hide_nullareas Hide Zero Locations FALSE Indicates whether a location (country, province and so on) must be hidden from the map (TRUE), or always displayed irrespective of value. The default value is FALSE. This is only applicable when rv_chart_number is set to 6 (Map (Heat) chart).
