Display high-scale object data [Beta]

By default, the Map application loads all objects in a layer to render them on the map. This inherently creates a scale limitation, as you can only render as much data as you can load from the Ontology into your browser. The Enable high-scale rendering feature facilitates the presentation of extensive object sets by restricting the app to load only the necessary data required to display the visible extent of the map.

Enabling high-scale rendering

If high-scale rendering is available on your instance, you can enable it per-layer by using the Enable high-scale rendering toggle in the layer's style panel.

High-scale rendering will only be available for a layer if:

• The object type for the layer has at least one geohash or geoshape property.
• High-scale rendering is enabled for the object type. Contact Palantir Support for more information.

Adding objects with high-scale rendering

For object types that support display in high-scale mode, the search dialog will not limit how many objects can be added to the map. As such, the Add all option will always be enabled.

High-scale rendering feature compatibility

Objects rendered in a high-scale layer do not interoperate correctly with a number of other Map application features, for a few reasons:

• As a feature in the Beta phase of development, many of the missing capabilities listed below are actively being developed and will be available when the feature reaches General availability.
• Many of the features that are incompatible with high-scale rendering require loading data from services that cannot support the scale of data rendered in high-scale layers.

Styling options

Geohash and geoshape properties are the only geometry sources supported for object layer geometries, and only property values are supported for all value-based styling options.

As such, the following options are not supported:

• Time series-based styling (measures and TSPs)
• Derived property functions
• Opacity by time
• Labels
• Timeline stylers

Filtering

Objects displayed in a high-scale layer do not respect filtering applied in the histogram or the timeline.

Shapes

Objects displayed in a high-scale layer will not be included when creating shapes from the active selection.
