From Map

Displays the title of the Map window for which the legend will be created.

Legend Frame Defaults

Title

Designates the text that displays at the top of each frame. Each occurrence of a # character will be replaced with the name of the map layer on which the frame is based. For example, "# Legend" for the layer called "States" will produce the title "States Legend". If you prefer to have Legend precede the layer name enter "Legend of #". This will produce "Legend of States".

Note: You can use the # symbol in all Title, Subtitle, and Style Name fields, but you can only use the % symbol in the Style Name field.

Aa button

Invokes MapInfo Pro's Font Picker dialog box. This dialog box allows you to set the font used for the frame's title.

Style Name

Designates the text that displays next to each symbol in a frame. Each occurrence of a % character will be replaced with the name of the map layer on which the frame is based. For example, "% of #" will expand to "Region of States". To create style names with the '%' character in them, precede it with a '\' character. For example, "\% of Total" will produce "% of Total".

Note: You can use the # symbol in all Title, Subtitle, and Style Name fields, but you can only use the % symbol in the Style Name.

Aa button

Invokes MapInfo Pro's Font Picker dialog box. This dialog box allows you to set the font used for the frame's style name text.

Subtitle

Designates subtitle text; uses the # symbol in the same manner as described in Title.

Aa button

Invokes MapInfo Pro's Font Picker dialog box. This dialog box allows you to set the font used for the frame's subtitle.

Cancel button
