Just a few weeks ago, we started giving access to the new CARTO Builder to people on our early access list. There have been some articles and positive reactions about it (Thanks!), so we wanted to share with you some things you can do with CARTO Builder.
The new Builder focuses on making your maps more actionable. It is an all-in-one data visualization, data exploration tool, and analysis workflow in an easy-to-use, and carefully made, user interface.
Even though the UI is quite different from the Editor, creating a visualization like a Bubble map –a map where you change the size of the different points depending on a value– is as easy as before. You just need to have a numeric column in your data, and change the size of the different points depending on the value. To do so:
- Click on the Layer name
- Click on the Style tab
- Click on the point-size number
- Click on BY VALUE
- Select your desired column
If you want to customize your map further, you can change the quantification method for your ramp in the same component.
If you want to know more about how this works behind the scenes, check out the CartoCSS panel and Turbo-Carto repo.
Keep an eye on the blog to stay up-to-date on the coolest features of the new Builder!
