Map 2D > Tools > … > Kernel Density

Concepts

Kernel density
The Kernel Density tool calculates the density of features in a neighborhood around those features. It can be calculated for both point and line features. See more:Kernel Density

Bandwidth
The search radius within which to calculate density.

Source

Input features for which to calculate the density. Only point features can be used as input.

Options

Bandwidth
Choose the search radius. Larger values of the search radius parameter produce a smoother, more generalized density raster. Smaller values produce a raster that shows more detail.

Overlay

Transparency
Use the slider to adjust the raster transparency.

Show
Creates a preview of the density raster.

Clear
Delete the preview.

Target

Choose the data format and storage location for the created raster. All supported Raster Data formats can be used. Press “Start” to create the raster. Press “Cancel” to stop the process.
