Analyze

Depending on data, EasyMap offers various analytical functions of your territory on a map. These include creating diagrams, such as Pie- or Bar charts, as well as coloring. EasyMap also provides you with Symbols and Circles as tools for Location analyses. You can access all analyses from the Data control window. You can also add a table or the columns of a table onto a map by using Drag&Drop from the Data control window or the Analyze tap on the main menu.

The following types of analysis are available:

EasyMap has already prepared the appropriate Legend for each analysis. These can easily be added to any part of the map by Drag&Drop from the Objekts control window.

Adding a New Analysis

To be able to access the various types of analysis, you must have inserted a base map on a sheet.

All analyses can be added to the map via the Data control window or via the menu Analyze. In the Data control window they can be added to a table or table column on the map by Drag&Drop.

A dialog box opens where you:

The method of Analysis
The analysis type (only for analyses where a selection is necessary) and
Select the Level and Assignation
By clicking Ok, your analysis will promptly display on the map, along with its default settings.

If you would like to create an analysis without default settings, then select the Analyze tap from the main menu.

The further settings for the analysis can then be adjusted in the Properties dialog that opens. Like all other elements, the analysis can be made visible or invisible.

Note: It will only show you the possible options for selecting the table or the table column.

Editing Existing Analyses

If you have already inserted an analysis, you can still change certain settings later.

Changing the analysis settings

Open the context menu of the relevant analyses in control window Analyses or in control window Contents. Click on Properties..., or double-click on the analysis with the mouse.

You can then change the properties of the analysis.

Changing the data basis

You can change the data basis directly in the properties of the respective analysis by clicking on ... on the right side of the Table selection in the Data area of the Properties window under a property (for example, color or symbol) of the analysis and opening the Data Basis dialog box.

Alternative: Open the context menu of the respective analyses in the control window Contents or Analyses. There you can click on the point Data basis... .

You can then change the settings for the data input.

Additional commands in the context menu of the analysis

You can right-click on an analysis in the control window Contents or on a selected object in the map window to open its context menu (right-click). This offers some actions that can be performed on this object.

All actions that can be applied to an analysis can also be found in the respective properties window of the analysis.
