Tricks & Tips

Customizing Heat Map Ranges

The Color Theme Wizard automatically classifies your data into the number of classes that you want and by default minimizes within-group variance. It is very easy to customize these ranges by choosing Map-Color Theme and clicking the Customize button.

If you want all of your classes to be size intervals, choose the Steps method, enter a value for the lowest class, enter a step interval, and click OK. Maptitude redraws the map using the values you chose.
