Configure the scatter layer to display point-based geospatial data on a 3D Earth.
Chart style
The scatter layer is a child component of 3D Earth that visualizes point-based geospatial data. You can configure the size, color, type, longitude, and latitude of scatter points.

Search Configuration: Click the Style icon
in the upper right corner of the panel to enter the name of the configuration item you wish to locate in the search field. The system supports fuzzy matching. For more information, see Search configuration item. -
Height: The height of the scatter layer relative to the globe's surface. Valid values: 2 to 100.
-
Breathing rate: The speed of the scatter layer's gradient animation. Valid values: 0 to 0.1.
-
Opacity: The opacity of the scatter layer. Valid values: 0 to 1.
-
Data ranking: Divides data into 2 to 7 levels based on the
valuefield using natural breaks, preventing rendering issues from large data variations. -
Scatter texture: Sets the texture style for scatter points using a URL.
-
Scatter size (from small to large): Click the
or
icon to add or remove a scatter size type. Click the
or
icon to arrange multiple scatter size types. Click the
icon to copy the current scatter style configuration and create a new one with the same settings.Value: The maximum value for scatter points of this type.
ImportantThis configuration option is an array used for data classification. The settings for each tier, from Type 1 to Type n, are configured in ascending order. For example, if Type 1 is set to 10, data with a
valuefrom 0 to 10 is displayed as 10. If Type 2 is set to 20, data with avaluefrom 11 to 20 is displayed as 20. If the data classification option is configured for three tiers, the value of Type 3 becomes the display value for data with avaluegreater than 20. -
Default Color: The color applied to scatter points whose type field does not match any Scatter Type (type) configuration.

Description
type
The value of type corresponds to the
typefield in the data.Color
The color for scatter points of this type.
NoteThis configuration option can be an array where you can configure multiple series. Data points are rendered using the color from the series that corresponds to the
typefield in the data. If thetypefield in the data does not exist in this configuration, the point is rendered in the default color.

Description |
|
Data Source |
The component's data source displays the data fields contained within the component using code editing or visual editor. You can also modify the data type to flexibly configure the component's data. |
|
Data Mapping |
When you need to customize chart field configurations, you can set different field mappings in the Data Mapping module to map these fields to the corresponding fields of the component. This allows for real-time data matching without altering the data source fields. Additionally, click the |
|
Filter |
Open the Filter to select an existing data filter or create a new one, and configure the data filter script to achieve data filtering capabilities. For more information, see manage data filters. |

Data Response Result |
This feature displays the component's data in real-time. When the component's data source changes, the data response result will display the latest data accordingly. In case of a delayed system response, you can click the |
|
Disable Loading State |
Check the check box to hide the loading content during component updates and data dashboard previews. Unchecking will display the loading content. The default setting is unchecked. |
|
Controlled Mode |
Check the check box to prevent data requests upon the component's initialization. Data requests will only be initiated through global variables or methods configured in the blueprint editor. Unchecking allows for automatic update requests. The default setting is unchecked. |
|
Automatic Update Request |
Check the check box to manually set the polling frequency for dynamic polling. Clearing this option disables automatic updates, requiring manual page refreshes or data request triggers through the blueprint editor and global variable events for updates. |

Events
Event
Description
On data update
Triggered after a data request completes and all filters are applied. Returns the processed data as a JSON object. For the data structure, see the Data response section on the Data Source pane.
On data request status change
Triggered when a data request status changes. Returns the current request status as a callback parameter.

Actions
Actions
Description
Import data
Imports and re-renders data in the component format without requesting new data from the server. For a data example, see the Data response section on the Data Source pane.
Request data
Re-requests data from the server, using data from upstream processing nodes or layer nodes as parameters. For example, if a scatter layer uses the API data source
https://api.testand the data passed to the Request Data action is{ id: '1'}, the final request URL ishttps://api.test?id=1.Toggle visibility
The Toggle visibility, Show, and Hide widget actions do not require parameters by default. You can add animation configurations as needed. See the reference data example.
{ // Animation type. Options: appear, fade, slideToUp. Default: fade. If left blank, there is no animation. "animationType": "fade", // Animation duration. Default: 1000. Unit: ms. "animationDuration": 1000, // Animation curve. Options: linear, easeInOutQuad, easeInOutExpo. Default: linear. "animationEasing": "linear" }Show
