Choropleth Chart Shape Schemes
Atlas Charts provides shape schemes to help define regions in your Choropleth Charts. Each shape scheme has a distinct set of expected values where each value corresponds to a region.
Shape Schemes and Location
In choropleth charts, you specify regions with the
Location channel. The value in the location channel
must match a region value for the selected Shape Scheme
(case insensitive)- when using the US States
scheme, the region of California will match both california
and CA as well as California.
