Feature: Interactive Charts
Make maps with interactive charts
Add charts to your maps to show detailed data. Charts are interactive—clicking on them filters the data on the map.
How to include an interactive chart in Honeycomb Maps
1
Create a new map — Start a new map in Honeycomb Maps.
2
Add a data source — Connect a data source to the map.
3
Add a chart component — Add a new component and change its type to 'Chart'.
4
Select a chart type — Choose a Bar Chart, Treemap Chart, or Histogram. Bar charts and treemap charts can show data split into categories, while histograms are ideal for visualizing the distribution of a numeric variable.
5
Choose a data field — Pick which data field the chart should be built from.
6
Set up filtering — Select whether the chart should act as a filter for your map layers.
7
Add colors — Add colors to the chart. Pro-tip: align the colors of the chart with the colors of points or polygons on the map so that the chart doubles as a legend.
Supported chart types
All chart types have the ability to filter map layers, other charts, and calculated metrics.
Bar chart
Break your data into categories and compare them side by side. Click any bar to filter the map to just that category.
Treemap chart
Visualize categorical data as nested rectangles sized by value—ideal for seeing how parts make up a whole.
Histogram chart
Show the distribution of a numeric variable across your dataset, making it easy to spot ranges, outliers, and clusters.
