Linkage Interaction with Diagrams
Feature Description
SuperMap Desktop supports linked display between diagrams, maps, and attribute tables. Through interactive operations with diagrams, users can explore and obtain more features, facilitating analysis of geographic distribution characteristics of data.
Steps
- Open the diagrams, maps, and attribute tables that require linked display in separate windows.
- In the "View" tab's "Window" group, click the "Linked Views" button to display the window list. Check the boxes before the windows to be bound for linked views. The application will automatically arrange the selected bound windows horizontally, enabling interactive operations and synchronized browsing between windows as shown below. For detailed description of linked views, please refer to Linked Views.
- Selections among diagrams, maps, and attribute tables are dynamically synchronized. Selecting one or multiple objects in the diagram will simultaneously highlight corresponding objects in the map and attribute table. Similarly, selections made in the map or attribute table will be reflected in the diagram, with selected objects highlighted across all windows.
- Generate Diagrams for Selected Objects: Create new diagrams specifically for interactively selected objects of interest using current selections as filters. Detailed operations:
- Select one or multiple objects on the map to highlight target features. Right-click and select "Statistics for Selected Objects" from the menu.
- Choose the desired diagram type from the statistical list to create a dedicated diagram for the selected objects.
- For example, to analyze GDP data of five northwestern provinces within a national map: select these provincial features on the map, then follow the above steps to create a GDP comparison chart for 2012-2014 in the northwestern region. The result is shown below:
