ROI Loading Data Options¶
When you create a Region of Interest (ROI), CartoScope asks how the ROI data should be loaded. This controls how much data is fetched immediately and how much memory the ROI may use.
| Feature | Current-Level Loading | Full ROI Loading |
|---|---|---|
| Definition | Loads the ROI at the current zoom level | Loads the ROI at the highest available resolution |
| Initial load time | Faster | Slower |
| Memory usage | Lower | Higher |
| Best for | Large ROIs; you are still exploring; you want to avoid browser slowdowns or crashes | Small ROIs; you need the complete region loaded at once; you are preparing a more detailed export or downstream analysis for that exact region |
| Risk on large ROIs | Low | High |
Tips
If you are unsure, start with Current-Level Loading.
