To dynamically visualize trip distribution patterns in a Map:

  1. Right-click on Map Layers > Add Dynamic Zone Layer...
  2. Select the polygon layer in the Data Source tab.
  3. Select the appropriate field from those available from the loaded polygon in the Zone field drop-down
  4. Select the matrix file containing the trip information that you wish to load into the Dynamic layer
  5. Choose the appropriate table from the ones available in the Matrix table drop-down.
  6. Select which value you wish the Dynamic Layer to show:
    1. From Selection (will treat the selected zone as the origin)
    2. To Selection(will treat the selected zone as the destination)
  7. Click Apply

Select any of the zones from the boundary layer.

The selected zone will be outlined and the other zones will be colored in a density based gradient of trips generated from/to the selected zone.

Dynamic Zone layers will vary depending on the zone that has been selected and can be customized:

  1. Go to the Layer Properties window for the Dynamic Zone
  2. Click on the Renderer tab.

  3. There are three symbols added by default: the selected zone symbol, the variable zone coloring symbol and the zone boundary symbol.
  4. You can customize any of the symbols by right-clicking on the setting you wish to change.

For example:

  1. Right-click on the second symbol to show the other available rendering options:
    1. Classbreaks: (Default) Will distribute the trips in a number of buckets with a specific value distribution
    2. Range: Will display the trips in a color gradient from the colors selected
    3. Dot Density: Will display the trip distribution density in colored dots.

To add labels to the zones:

  1. Click on the Label tab
  2. Right-click on the ABC symbol and select the variable you wish to display
  3. Customize the label with the available options
