Hello,

I have documents in kibana, they all have a a closed polygon like this [-14.062, 45.089], [61.875, 45.089], [61.875, 60.759], [-14.062, 60.759], [-14.062, 45.089] .

Is it possible to display that polygon on a map ? I can do it with a single point but I didn't succeed with polygon.

Thanks.

Hi Nocolas. I don't think it's possible to do anything other than circles, shaded regions, and heatmaps using the built-in map visualization, per the docs:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tilemap.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tilemap.html)

But you can use the Vega map, which lets you do all sorts of crazy things. If you take a look at the sample data provided in 6.4, you'll see an example of a Vega map:

Best,
