Depth layer in Azure Maps
Greetings! I have absolutely no idea if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes anyway... I'm looking for a layer that helps me visualize earthquakes not only by magnitude ...
Yggdrasill If you go into the general settings section of the visual, you will see there is an option to show negative values. When turned on, it's absolute value is used for relative scaling of sizes, but the popup will still display the correct negative value when hovered. More details here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/power-bi-visual-understanding-layers#general-layer-settings
I'm trying to do the same thing. And show negatives did not do it for me. You?

cbslc665 The bar chart layer will always show bars above the surface. There is no visualization for showing things below the surface. Few map platforms support that type of visualization. That said, you could combine a set of layers here. Use the bar chart to show the absolute value of the depth and maybe color it accordingly to indicate it is a negative value, and then use the bubble layer to show the magnitude based on the radius.
I was attempting to do just that with azure maps. But it seems the layers that can do a bubble and a bar only show the same data point. What I want to show is a quantity and a depth. The quantity can be a bubble and the depth can be a bar. But I have not figured out how to do that. I can only do quantity or depth - just a single field. Is there another way?
- rbrundrittAh, yes. You can only have a single metric field per visual. In that case, since depth is always negative, you could use bars where the height is relative to the depth and the color is related to the quantity. The legend will only provide details about the quantity, and the depth information would only be displayed in the popup.
