Maptitude^® On-Line Training

Themes & Legends

• Click the Styles tab:

For any class in a color or pattern theme, you can customize the style and change the text that describes it in the map legend. This lets you tailor every aspect of a thematic map.

Maptitude includes a collection of pre-defined color sets and pattern sets. If you choose one of these pre-defined color or pattern sets, Maptitude will update the appearance of all the classes in that theme. Or you can update the style of each class individually.

Maptitude also has a special color ramp feature you can use to set the colors for a color theme. The color ramp lets you pick a starting color and an ending color, and then fills in the rest of the colors to make a gradual transition from the first to the last. If you used the Break At option, you can pick a starting color, a color for the break point, and an ending color, and let Maptitude fill in the rest.
