This dialog box displays when you select a Bar Charts or Pie Charts theme in the previous dialog (Create Thematic Map - Step 1 of 3) of the Create Thematic Map wizard.
Select the map layer and variables you want to use.
Table
The drop-down list displays the tables that are mapped in the active Map window. Choose the table on which you want to base the map. If you have objects selected in the Map window, the Selection from TABLE item also displays in the list. Choosing this item enables you to create a thematic map based on the selected items without having to map the selection.

Fields for Pie/Bar Chart

The order of the variables in the Field for Pie/Bar Chart list is the order in which the variables will appear in the legend.
For bar chart thematic maps, the order in which the variables display in the legend is the order in which the bars display from left to right on the map.
For pie chart maps, the first variable in the legend corresponds to the pie wedge that begins at the angle specified in the Customize Pie Styles dialog box. To display the Customize Pie Styles dialog box, click Styles in the Create Thematic Map - Step 3 of 3 Dialog Box and choose Options.
