Dynamic Tile Size Adjustment in Highcharts Tilemap Based on Tank Dimensions

Hi all,

I have created a Highcharts Tilemap where each tile represents a container, with the Container ID as the key. Currently, the tile size remains constant for all containers, but I would like to adjust the size of each tile based on the size of the container, which can be calculated using the container’s length and width.

When hovering over each tile, the container’s details (e.g., contents, category, status) are displayed. However, I need the tile sizes to vary according to the calculated area (length * width) of each container.

Is it possible to dynamically adjust the tile size in the Highcharts Tilemap based on these parameters?

Hi @Thiriksha and welcome to the QuickSight community,
According to the highcharts documentation for tilemaps, this does not seem to be an available feature on this tilemap visual.

A packed bubble visual may work better for displaying various sizing based on values.

Thanks for your response @Brett. We tried implementing it, but unfortunately, due to having over 1,000 values in our dataset, the labels get overlapped in both bubble and heatmap.

Hi @Thiriksha,
Understood! I will mark this as a feature request for the support team’s visibility. Hopefully this type of enhancement can get added to tilemaps!

Hi @Brett,
Thanks for the update! I hope this feature enhancement is added soon to improve date handling in tilemaps.
