Applying an Animated Map Symbol to a Map Layer

3.10.4.8 Applying an Animated Map Symbol to a Map Layer

You can apply a circular animating (pulsing) symbol for styling point-type map layers.

Perform the following steps to apply an animating symbol to a map layer.

The instructions assume that a point map layer is already displayed on the map.

The new animating symbol is found in the Symbol render style or symbol picker.

Click against the map layer in the Layers tab of the Layers list.
Select Settings in the context menu.
Configure Style and select Symbol as the Render Style.
Click the image button next to the Symbol drop-down list.
The Symbol set drop-down appears.
Select the pulsing-dot symbol under the Animations section in the Symbol set drop-down list.
Optionally, customize the animating symbol.

This includes the overall Icon size, Inner circle color, Outer circle color, Stroke, and Opacity of the inner circle. Also, you can customize the animation speed by configuring the Duration in ms field.
The following figure shows custom styling of an animated symbol on a map visualization.
