Clustering

Map features of a point layer can be displayed as data clusters to facilitate the interpretation of very dense layers. Points that are located near each other are replaced by a single circle. The number shown on each circle corresponds to the number of points clustered. The size of each cluster is adjusted dynamically to bring out the most important clusters.

Layer without data clusters	Layer with data clusters

When a thematic analysis by category or range of data is added to this point layer, the clusters are displayed as pie charts. The data tip of a cluster can include the following information:

• total count of points clustered
• sum, average, minimum or maximum value of a numeric thematic data
• distribution of each category or range of thematic data
