Map Mode

After starting the application or selecting Map mode you will be presented with the following screen.

Map mode - initial screen

Map

Map can be adjusted by:

  • Scrolling - alters the scale of the map
  • Mouse drag - alters the position of the map

Control panel

Every viewing mode has its own control panel.

Main panel

Geo projection

Geographic projection can be changed using list box on the control panel.

Geo projections

Load data

This button will open dialog for selecting source file. Binned matrix data are supported.

Load

Load parameters

This button will open dialog for selecting file with parameters.

Load parameters

Export

These list buttons are used for exporting images from the application.

  • SVG - Exports image to vector format. Please note that the file size may be huge.
  • PNG - Exports image to PNG format. Resulting images is scaled twice the current size. Please note that export to PNG may take a while.

Contour

This list box sets whether to show contour lines or not.

Binning

This list box sets what type of bin size was used on the input data.

Neighbors

This input changes the number of neighbors used in KNN regression algorithm used to impute missing data and clean errors.

  • When set to 0, data will not be pre-processed.

Neighbors

Smooth

This input changes the smoothing variable in KNN regression algorithm. High smoothing factor means points closer to source have far bigger influence.

  • When set to 1, influence is linear.
  • When set to 0, missing data will not be imputed.

Smooth

Clean diff

This input changes the threshold used in data cleaning. If a point differs from predicted value by given threshold, the point will be cleaned.

  • Uses log units

  • When set to 0, data will not be cleaned

    Clean

Generate Map

When all parameters are valid and data loaded a map can be generated. Application performs these steps:

  • Load file contents
  • Clean data
  • Impute missing values
  • Compute Voronoi regions
  • Project those regions
  • Draw

Generate Map

This process may take a while. When you move the map after it has been generated the map will reset and you have to Generate Map again.

Live cursor

When the map is generated you can hover over the displayed bins to get more information.

  • Value - Value of the bin in log units
  • Type - Whether the bin was imputed, cleaned or it is the original value.
