❍ Color display order - You can click the Reverse order button to reverse the display order of the color

range. So, if you have a range of colors starting with blue for the first element and ending with red for the

last one, reversing the order will apply red to the first element and blue to the last.

❍ Color adjustments to single buckets - You can modify each color element individually by clicking on it

and adjusting the color for that particular value or value range. In addition, you can modify the settings for

numeric buckets to adjust the spread of the data to your preference. See

Customizing the Value Range for

Numeric Data to learn how to adjust the numeric ranges once you choose the number of buckets for a

range of numbers.

6. Click the OK button to apply and view your changes. - Save the style template. You can always edit the template

to apply icon and height styles or to make additional color adjustments. Do this by following the instructions in

Applying

a Style Template.

Mapping Icons to Point Data

As with color, you can apply icons to fields in your data. However, icons can only be mapped to point data, so if you are

importing line or shape data, the Icon style tab will be unavailable. You can use two mechanisms for mapping icons to points:

● Use the same icon for all features - To do this, simply select the Use same icon for all features option and choose

an icon from the drop-down list.

● Set icon from a field - The actions for doing this are similar to those described in Mapping Color Styles, and are

described in the sections that follow.

Setting Icons Based on Fields

These steps describe the basic process of mapping icons to fields in your data. The following steps describe the basic

process for defining color values by a data field.

1. Select the Set icon from field option in the Icon tab.

2. Choose the field that you want to apply icon labels to from the Set icon from field drop-down list. Here, you can choose

either numeric fields or text fields from your data. See

Choosing Field Types for Style Mapping.

3. Use the Number of buckets selector to indicate how to group the range of field values. This option is only available for

fields with numeric data. The ranges for each bucket are automatically computed but can be adjusted manually. See

Customizing the Value Range for Numeric Data for details. To learn how buckets behave for string and numeric fields,

see

Using Buckets for Field Data.

4. For each bucket defined, select an icon from the list.

5. Make any further desired adjustments:

❍ Subfolders - You can create subfolders for each icon bucket so that the Places listing displays the data

elements grouped by the folder label into their respective folders. This makes it easier for you to show or

hide the display of icon groups simply by selecting or removing the check box next to the folder. Once you

select the subfolder option, you must provide a name for your sub-folder in order for the data to be

1 2 ... 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 ... 130 131
