Introductory Maptitude: Lesson 3

Themes & Legends

3.4 Color and Pattern Themes
  • Values or ranges of values are assigned to classes, which are shown with different colors or patterns

Color themes and pattern themes both group the features in a map layer into classes, based on the value of a data field. Each class contains all of the features with similar values for the chosen field. When the map is drawn, the classes are displayed using different colors or patterns, so it is easy to tell them apart.
