# H3

H3 visualization is a way to aggregate point data into a grid of H3 cells.

H3 visualizations are defined using `“type”: “h3”` . They generally share the same properties and behaviors as [color range visualizations for polygons](/felt-style-language/types-of-visualizations/numeric-visualizations-color-and-size.md). Properties of specific relevance to H3 are:

| Field name         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `aggregation`      | The aggregation method that will be used on points within each cell. Supported values are `count` (default), `sum`, `min`, `max`, and `mean` .                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| `binMode`          | `fixed` (default), `low`, `medium`, or `high`. Determines if the resolution of H3 cell is fixed or automatically determined based on the current zoom of the map.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| `baseBinLevel`     | Required. If `binMode` is `fixed`, this is the [H3 cell resolution](https://h3geo.org/docs/core-library/restable/) that the map will use. H3 cells vary from resolution 1 (largest) to resolution 15 (smallest). If `binMode` is `auto`, this is the resolution that will be used for calculating class breaks. You will get best results choosing a resolution that matches the `fixed` resolution you would choose to fit the most commonly-viewed zoom for your map. |
| `numericAttribute` | The numeric column to aggregate. Required unless `aggregation` is `count` , in which case the column choice is irrelevant.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
