Did You Know?

You
can label map features such as
customers with values from more
than one field in your data,
such as name and revenue.
To
use multiple fields to label
features,
click the label icon in the Display Manager
to show the Labels box for a
layer, and choose "Multiple
Fields" as the field to use for
labeling. Maptitude then displays the
Multiple Fields in Label
box. Each field is displayed on
a separate line in the label,
and can even have different
coloring to enable you to better
distinguish the values.

Tech Tip:
Creating 3D
Themes of Map Data |
|
Thematic maps illustrate the characteristics of map
features, so that the characteristics are easy to see
and understand. A map theme is a styling of map features
according to the values of one or more data fields such
as sales volume by Postal/ZIP Code.
A 3D heat/color theme (Prism Map) uses 3-D imaging and
color to show the relative values of a single data
field. Prism Maps can only be created on an area layer,
such as counties, states, or sales territories.
The
following steps illustrate how to show areas in 3D using the
Prism Map tool in Maptitude 2013:
-
 Show
your data attached/joined to boundaries (e.g.
Postal/ZIP Codes) on a map.
-
In the Display Manager (Map-Display Manager),
right click on your area layer. This is often a
postal layer such as "5-Digit ZIP Code" in the USA.
Choose Make Working Layer.
-
Choose Map-Prism Map to
display the Prism Map Properties dialog box.
-
Choose a data field from the Field
drop-down list.
-
Chose whether to map All Features, only Visible
Features, or a filtered set of areas from the
Selection drop-down list.
-
Click the Styles tab to display the
Styles page.
-
Choose Color Ramp, then choose a
starting and ending color, or click
<<Previous Set or Next Set>>
to browse through the available color ramps.
-
Click OK.
Maptitude draws the prism map in a new figure window.
