A geometry field is a type of field that represents a spatial feature. Currently, the column type can be further distinguished into Geometry (Point) or Line Geometry (Line string).
Usage example
GeometryField is one of the options for creating a heat map. For this to work, the data must be stored in the WGS84 coordinate system. To set up the GeometryField, follow these steps:
- In the Fields tab in Project Settings, click on the + button, select GeometryField from the dropdown menu and fill in the ID, e.g., geometry.
- In Column type, there are 2 options to choose from:
Geometry – used for points
LineGeometry – used for Multiline strings - The next step is to fill in the Source name of the column under which the data is stored in the source table.
- To confirm the settings, click on the green checkmark button in the top right.
