Did You Know?
Heat Maps Directly From Tables |
|
 The
Map-Color Theme
command allows you to
create a color (or "heat")
theme. You create color themes
by picking the data field you
want to see mapped or create a
formula field. MapWizard will
take care of the rest.
You can create a color theme
directly from a table window by
highlighting a cell in the data field you
want to map and clicking
 .
Maptitude creates a new map that uses a
color theme to illustrate the
values of the chosen field.
Note: To create a theme from
your data, it must be connected
to a map layer. To join data to
a map see "Joining Your Data to
a Map" in the Help.

Tech Tip:
Creating a
Heat/Color Map Theme on Areas |
|
Maptitude can use information about locations in a
map to create a presentation that illustrates the
patterns in the data. This is called a
thematic map. Thematic maps use distinctive
colors, symbols, and styles to show information such
as population, sales, or income. The different
styles highlight the similarities and differences
among locations. When data are portrayed in a
thematic map, the information becomes easier to see,
understand, and interpret.
For example, the USA Country Package includes
nationwide
Tract boundaries with hundreds of demographic
variables so that you can create insightful and
informative maps at a neighborhood level anywhere in
the United States. With a few clicks of the mouse,
you can create thematic maps that will allow you to
quickly analyze data for your area of interest. In
addition, Maptitude includes a number of predesigned
Tract level maps in a
Map Library.
The
following steps illustrate how to create color themes
that group the locations in a map layer into ranges,
based on the value of a data field. Each range
contains all of the locations with similar values.
When the map is drawn, the ranges are displayed
using different colors:
-
Choose File-New,
choose Map
from the New File dialog box, and
create a General Purpose map of your study area.
-
Choose a working map layer such as US Census Tracts.
You can do this by right-clicking on the layer in
the Display Manager and selecting Make
Working Layer. If this choice is disabled
first choose Show Layer.
-
Choose Map-Color Theme or
click
on the Standard toolbar to display the
Color Theme dialog box.
-
Choose a field from the drop-down list, or choose
Formula at the end of the list to create a formula
field. MapWizard fills in all the other settings in
the dialog box.
-
Click OK.
Maptitude draws the map with the color theme and
displays a legend.

Featured Maptitude Maps:
J. C. Penney Store Site
Location Analysis |

This month we showcase a map created by Lucas Mapping
Solutions. "Below is a map that shows a 10, 20 and 30
mile buffer/radius around each J.C. Penney Store in
Iowa. Also shown on this map is the underlying
population per square mile. This type of map can
help a business determine if there is a population
base that is under-served, and where to consider
sites for expansion."
