# Polygon

Polygon layer can display all geometry types defined by [RFC 7946 (GeoJSON)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946): `Point`, `LineString`, `Polygon`, `MultiPoint`, `MultiLineString`, `MultiPolygon`.

You can load a GeoJSON file (with a single [`Feature`](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.2) or a [`FeatureCollection`](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946#section-3.3)) or a GeoArrow file.

A path GeoJSON layer can display data like trip routes or contours. Stroke color can be set with a numerical field.

A polygon GeoJSON layer is essentially a [choropleth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choropleth_map) layer and works best for rendering geofences. Fill color or height can be set with a numerical field. For example, it can display population by census tracts.

To add a polygon layer, your dataset must contain geometry data.
