#TweakThursday 25: Drilling Down on Maps
There is an amazing Viz of the day on 12/20/2016 showing the mortality rate change in USA on certain diseases. Excellently designed!
There are over 3142 counties on each of the 6 maps. I would like to view some of the counties in details. So I added a mechanism to close in. This can be the basis for anyone who wants to add further functionalities.
The steps to do it are:
- drag all the 6 heat maps into a floating vertical container
- create a separate filled map for counties
- add another floating vertical container on top of the above one and drag the filled map to it
- create a button to close the pop-up map.
- create one action filter for pop-up view and another for going back to the original view.
