Atlas Weekly: W-21

This week brings the lasso selection tool for selecting multiple features at once, customizable globe atmosphere colors, enhanced filtering capabilities, and extensive improvements to legends and styling.

Features

Lasso selection tool

Select multiple features on the map by drawing a freeform shape around them. The new lasso tool lets you quickly select features in irregular areas that would be tedious to select one by one. Perfect for selecting features along a route, within custom boundaries, or in any non-rectangular area.

Globe atmosphere customization

When using the globe projection, you can now adjust the atmosphere color to match your map's style. Create dramatic presentations with custom atmosphere hues that complement your basemap and data layers.

Enhanced filtering

Filtering has been improved with better performance and more accurate results. The filter widget now maintains your selected options when changing styles, so you don't lose your filter state when adjusting layer appearance.

Tabular data quick access

Clicking on a tabular (non-spatial) dataset now opens the data table directly, providing faster access to spreadsheet-style data without extra navigation.
