Retrieve Indicators Of A Selected Area
Introduction
Depending on the layers and region you selected, indicators for your configuration are shown in a sidebar at the right of your screen
In the following, we look at the indicators that are displayed for raster layers.
Indicators for raster layers
The indicators on raster layers are different from vector layers. With different, we mean in terms of aggregation and disaggregation. This different behaviour comes from territorial resolutions.
Raster Layers have generally a much higher resolution whereas vector layers have only attributes at points or polygons.
That means on the one hand for example that if you select a vector layer which is defined by NUTS3 polygons and you want for example to select an LAU region then the NUTS3 value will not be disaggregated to LAU level, instead, the NUTS3 indicator where this LAU region is located will be shown in the results sidebar.
On the other hand, raster layers are aggregated and disaggregated "arbitrarily" by the containing cells within the region you selected (naturally within the limit of the raster resolution itself)
