• Add Subcomponent

  The following subcomponents can be added to a world map:

  • Flying line: The configuration method is similar to that of the flying lines on the basic 2D map. For details, see Flying Lines.
  • Scatter: The configuration method is similar to that of the scatters on the basic 2D map. For details, see Scatters.
  • Advanced scatter: The configuration method is similar to that of the advanced scatters on the basic 2D map. For details, see Advanced Scatter Layer.
    

    The advanced scatter layer on the basic 2D map supports the interaction function, but the advanced scatter layer on the world map does not support the interaction function.

  • Heatmap: The configuration method is similar to that of the heatmap layer in the basic 2D map. For details, see Heatmap Layer.
  The following operations can be performed on those subcomponents:

  • Adding subcomponents

    In the Pattern panel, click Add Subcomponent. In the displayed menu, select a subcomponent. After the subcomponent is added, the name of the added subcomponent is displayed under Add Subcomponent, for example, fly line.

  • Editing subcomponents

    After clicking a component, you can edit it.

  • Deleting subcomponents
