🌐 What is GIS Visualization?
GIS Visualization refers to the process of using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to visually represent spatial data on maps. It allows users to analyze, interpret, and present geographic data in a way that reveals patterns, relationships, and trends. 🧭 Key Components of GIS Visualization 1. Spatial Data Layers Base Maps : Satellite imagery, terrain, street maps. Thematic Layers : Power lines, substations, solar parks, land use, population density, etc. 2. Interactive Mapping Zoom, pan, and query features. Real-time overlays (e.g., weather, grid load, solar irradiance). 3. Data Integration Combines geographic data with attribute data (e.g., capacity of a substation, status of a transmission line). Supports formats like shapefiles, GeoJSON, and raster data. 4. Analytical Tools Heatmaps : Show intensity (e.g., energy demand). Buffering : Analyze impact zones (e.g., around substations). Network Analysis : Optimize routes for transmission lines. ⚡ In the ...
