19+ Customization
20+ -------------
21+
22+ To access the available customizations for any chart, click the
23+ :guilabel:`Customization` tab above the :ref:`encoding channels
24+ <encoding-channels>` in the :doc:`Chart Builder </build-charts>`.

30+ Custom Color Palette
31+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
32+
33+ The color palette specifies the range of colors that corresponds to
34+ relative aggregated values in your map.
35+
36+ :ref:`Geospatial Scatter <scatter-ref>` charts use a discrete color
37+ picker, and :ref:`Geospatial Heatmap <geospatial-heatmap-type>` and
38+ :ref:`Choropleth <choropleth-ref>` charts use a gradient color picker,
39+ but the mechanism to enable customization is the same. To enable
40+ palette customization, toggle the :guilabel:`Custom Color Palette`
41+ switch in the :guilabel:`General Customization` section.
42+
43+ For more information, see :ref:`Color Palette Customization
44+ <color-palette-customization>`.
45+
46+ Automatically Set Viewport
47+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
48+
49+ By default, geospatial charts show a map which includes all the data
50+ point markers in your specified collection. You can pan and zoom to
51+ change the map view, but if you close the chart and re-open it the map
52+ reverts to its default state. This behavior is controlled by the
53+ :guilabel:`Automatically Set Viewport` option.
54+
55+ When you toggle the :guilabel:`Automatically Set Viewport` switch to
56+ ``Off``, the area and zoom level at which the map is saved becomes the
57+ new default view.
58+
59+ .. note::
60+
61+ You can pan and zoom the map area in a chart on a dashboard, but
62+ these changes do not affect the default map view.
63+
64+ Opacity
65+ ~~~~~~~
66+
67+ The :guilabel:`Opacity` level of a map modifies the degree to which
68+ the chart's map data shows through the data point markers. This
69+ setting is available on all geospatial charts.
70+
71+ On :ref:`Geospatial Heatmap <geospatial-heatmap-type>` and
72+ :ref:`Choropleth <choropleth-ref>` charts, the :guilabel:`Opacity`
73+ level defaults to 100%. On :ref:`Geospatial Scatter <scatter-ref>`
74+ charts, it defaults to 20%.
75+
76+ Radius
77+ ~~~~~~
78+
79+ .. include:: /includes/radius-description.rst
80+
81+ Stroke Thickness
82+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
83+
84+ :ref:`Scatter <scatter-ref>` charts provide the customization option
85+ to set the :guilabel:`Stroke Thickness`, measured in pixels, of the
86+ map's data point markers. This setting defaults to ``2``.
