What are Factor Layer Modes?

A factor layer mode describes how a factor layer is represented on the map.

This is different from layer type. Factor is the layer type. Modes such as RAW_PIXEL or HEX describe the representation of that factor layer.

Mode Meaning
RASTER Raster rendering of the factor result. Best suited for overview.
RAW_PIXEL Raw pixel or molecule-level factor representation with the highest spatial detail.
HEX Hexagon-binned factor representation that balances detail and readability.
HEX_FINE Hexagon-based representation with smaller or more detailed bins.
HEX_COARSE Hexagon-based representation with larger or more aggregated bins.
CELLS Cell-level factor representation based on segmented cells.
BOUNDARIES Boundary-only representation for segmented cells or related structures.
CELLS_BOUNDARIES Combined representation showing both cell regions and boundaries.
