Change Color Legends in Map with Custom Icon

andychiar — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 06:00:59 GMT

Hi, Can we change legends in Map Visualization (that uses color) with custom icon? For example: I have Map Visualization that show count of network device (router, switch, hub) in certain areas. Normally, each network device will be differentiated by color. I need to change the color legend with icon (router with router icon, etc). Thank you.

Do you work on your own Custom Visual? So you can change the background-image from the node.

Nice Regards

Okay so maybe a question for the Desktop Forum.

But @v-chuncz-msft or @Eric_Zhang had more Experience in that.

Nice Regards

Hi @andychiar,

If you want to change the legends color, you can simply to modify at “Format Table” -> “Data colors”.

If you want to use custom icon as the legends, currently map visual doesn’t support this feature, you can vote this idea at below link:

Appreciate it's years since your post - but thought I'd flag that the Icon Map now in the store should let you achieve this. Check out https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFbxn6ALX9C4nQXD0QcJmug for examples.
