[[regionmap]]
== Region Maps
Region maps are thematic maps in which boundary vector shapes are colored using a gradient:
higher intensity colors indicate larger values, and lower intensity colors indicate smaller values.
These are also known as choropleth maps.

[[regionmap-configuration]]
=== Configuration
To create a region map, you configure an inner join that joins the result of an Elasticsearch terms aggregation
and a reference vector file based on a shared key.
[float]
==== Data
[float]
===== Metrics
Select any of the supported _Metric_ or _Sibling Pipeline Aggregations_.
[float]
===== Buckets
Configure a _Terms_ aggregation. The term is the _key_ that is used to join the results to the vector data on the map.
[float]
==== Options
[float]
===== Layer Settings
- *Vector map*: select from a list of vector maps. This list includes the maps that are hosted by the © https://www.elastic.co/elastic-maps-service[Elastic Maps Service],
as well as your self-hosted layers that are configured in the *config/kibana.yml* file. To learn more about how to configure Kibana
to make self-hosted layers available, see the <<regionmap-settings,regionmap settings>> documentation. You can also explore and preview vector layers available in Elastic Maps Service at https://maps.elastic.co[https://maps.elastic.co].
- *Join field*: this is the property from the selected vector map that will be used to join on the terms in your terms-aggregation.
When terms cannot be joined to any of the shapes in the vector layer because there is no exact match in the vector layer, Kibana will display a warning.
To turn of these warnings, go to *Management/Kibana/Advanced Settings* and set `visualization:regionmap:showWarnings` to `false`.
[float]
===== Style Settings
- *Color Schema*: the color range used to color the shapes.
[float]
===== Basic Settings
- *Legend Position*: the location on the screen where the legend should be rendered.
- *Show Tooltip*: indicates whether a tooltip should be displayed when hovering over a shape..
