Maptitude^® On-Line Training

Themes & Legends

• An explanation of the symbols, colors and styles used in a map, usually in a box next to the map.

Legends have six sections: title, layers, selection sets, thematic maps, scale of miles and footnote. The layers, selection sets, thematic maps sections all contain a subtitle followed by items.

You choose which sections to include in the legend, type the title and footnote, choose a border and background, and pick the fonts and sizes you want. From then on, Maptitude creates and maintains the legend automatically.

Maptitude automatically displays a legend when you create a thematic map or a new selection set.
