Dataset Selection Settings
Each dataset selection linked to the scene has its own settings section.
Sync with Source
Check for Updates – Compare current selection data with the latest version. Shows differences in row count, colors, column mappings, sorting, geo labels, and timestamps.
Edit Selection – Opens the selection editor in a new tab.
Column Mapping
Map dataset columns to visualization properties. This determines how your data is prepared and transformed for visualization.
Required mappings vary by scene type:
- Bar scenes: Category, Value
- Line scenes: Category, Value
- Geo scenes: GeoID, Value
Each mapping shows validation indicators (checkmark or warning). Geo scenes also display a "Geo Data Ready" status when geo IDs are resolved.
Transform
Position – Position offset [X, Y, Z] for your data visualization. Moves the entire graph in 3D space. Range: -10 to 10 for each axis. Note: X and Y are locked when multi-dataset alignment is enabled.
Rotation – Rotation [X, Y, Z] in degrees for your data visualization. Range: -180 to 180 degrees for each axis.
Bar Settings (Bar Charts Only)
Bar Width – Width of each bar (0.1 - 2.0).
Bar Depth – Depth of each bar (0.1 - 2.0).
Max Height – Maximum height of bars (1-5). Controls the overall graph scale.
Bar Spacing – Space between bars (0.0 - 2.0).
Line Settings (Line Charts Only)
Line Width – Width/thickness of the line (0.01 - 0.5).
Line Color – Color of the line.
Line Style – Shape of the line cross-section:
- Round: Rounded tube shape
- Square: Square cross-section
Point Spacing – Distance between data points on the line (0.01 - 3.0). Hidden when multi-dataset alignment is enabled (uses global spacing instead).
Geo Data Level (Geo Scenes Only)
Admin Level – Geographic administrative level for your data:
- Auto: Automatically detect the appropriate level
- Country: National level
- State: State/province level
- District: District/county level
- Municipality: Municipal level
Parent Country – For sub-national admin levels, specify the parent country. Options include auto-detect and a list of common countries. Only shown when admin level is State, District, or Municipality.
The section also displays auto-detection information including confidence percentage and detected ID count, as well as any Regional Filter context that may be active.
Geo Appearance (Geo Scenes Only)
Max Height – Maximum extrusion height for geographic regions (0.05 - 0.5). When a zoom level is applied, the effective height is adjusted by the zoom scale.
Outlines (Geo Scenes Only)
Show Outlines – Toggle visibility of region outlines on top of extruded features. Enabled by default.
Color – Color of the outlines.
Width – Width of the outline strokes (0.001 - 0.01).
Animation Timing
Animation Type – How data elements animate:
- One after the other (Staggered): Elements animate sequentially
- Delayed: All elements animate with a configurable delay between them
- Not Animated: No animation
Delay Between – Delay between each element when using "Delayed" animation type (0.0 - 2.0 seconds).
Delay Before – Delay before animation starts in seconds (0.0 - 5.0).
Delay After – Delay after animation ends in seconds (0.0 - 5.0).
Duration Display – Read-only display showing the computed animation duration and frame rate.
