Creating an Individual Values Map - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

A thematic map that draws map objects according to individual values is useful when you want to emphasize categorical differences in your data rather than show quantitative information (such as types of stores in a given area, and zoning classifications in a given area).

To create an individual values map:

1. Click on a Map window containing the layer you wish to create the theme for.
2. On the MAP tab, in the Content group, click Add Theme to open the Create Thematic Map - Step 1 of 3 wizard panel.
3. Click Individual and select a template from the list.
4. Click Next to open the Create Thematic Map - Step 2 of 3 wizard panel.
5. Choose the table on which you want to base the shading, and choose the field or expression that contains the data values.
6. Click Next to open the Create Thematic Map - Step 3 of 3 wizard panel.

   Use this wizard panel to customize the map or its legend.

7. Click OK.

Customizing an Individual Values Map
