Map

The map report will render all returned nodes, relationships and paths on a geomap. Open Street Map is used to visualize the data on the map.

Map visualizations work best with Neo4j Spatial Data. Make sure that the nodes in your database have their locations stored as a spatial property.

Customizations are available to change several parts of the visualization, including the label for each node as well as the colors and sizes of the markers/lines.

Examples

Nodes on a map

Note that the nodes returned here have spatial properties on them, so they can be visualized on a map.

MATCH (b:Brewery)
RETURN b

Nodes and relationships on a map

MATCH (b:Brewery)-[e]->(b2:Brewery)
RETURN b, e, b2

Artificial map data

By returning a dictionary instead of a node directly, you can work around the visualization expecting nodes and relationships directly.

MATCH (l1:Location)<--(a:Person),
      (a:Person)-[:KNOWS]-(b:Person),
      (b:Person)-->(l2:Location)
RETURN {id: a.name, label: "Person", point: l1.point},
       {id: b.name, label: "Person", point: l2.point},
       {start: a.name, end: b.name, type: "KNOWS", id: 1}

Advanced Settings

Name	Type	Default Value	Description
Node Color Scheme	List	neodash	The color scheme to use for the node labels. Colors are assigned automatically (consequitevely) to the different labels returned by the Cypher query.
Node Marker Size	List	large	The size of the markers for the nodes on the map. One of [small, medium, large].
Node Color Property	Text	color	Optionally, the name of the node property to map to the node color. This lets you define colors on a node-specific level, if you have a property that directly maps to the HTML color value.
Relationship Color	Text	#a0a0a0	The color used for drawing the relationships on the map.
Relationship Width	Text	1	The (default) width of the relationships on the map.
Relationship Color Property	Text	color	Optionally, the name of the relationship property to map to the relationship color. This lets you define colors on a relationship-specific level, if you have a property that directly maps to the HTML color value.
Relationship Width Property	Text	width	Optionally, the name of the relationship property to map to the arrow width. This lets you define widths on a relationship-specific level, if you have a property that directly maps to the width value.
Hide Property Selection	on/off	off	If enabled, hides the property selector (footer of the visualization).
Auto-run query	on/off	on	when activated automatically runs the query when the report is displayed. When set to `off', the query is displayed and will need to be executed manually.
