Area layers
An area layer presents areas on your map, such as countries or states. With polygon geometry loaded into a field, it can present any custom area.
With an area layer, each dimension value corresponds to a presented area. By using colors with your area layer, you can present different measure values for the areas. In the properties panel, under Appearance > Colors and legend, switch Colors to Custom where the options By measure and By expression are available.
