Selecting the Right Image
When setting up a Raster Map, selecting the right image means more than just finding an image that depicts the data in your data set. In the initial search there are some criteria your image should attempt to meet:
- The image should contain all areas you wish to assign data to. For example, if you wanted to map revenue by states of Australia, you would need a full map of Australia. A World map would not be suitable here, nor would a map of half of Australia.
- The image should only contain elements you wish to be displayed in the final map. This means that if you found a map of Australia, the image should not contain a background of surrounding water and land masses unless you wish these areas to be displayed in the final map.
Note: any area that does not have data assigned to it will display as found in the original image. - The image should be of a high enough resolution so that you can resize the final map without losing clarity. This means that the image needs to be the size you wish to display your final map, or larger, so that edges and backgrounds do not appear blurred when resized.
