Show Legend for this Layer

This option only displays when modifying a thematic map (in the Layers window, right-click on the sample swatch for the thematic layer). Check to include a legend frame in the Legend Designer window for this map layer.

Into Window

This option only displays when creating a thematic map (on the MAP tab, in the Content group, click Add Theme). This drop-down list displays the following:

New Legend Window - Create a new legend using the specified options.

No Legend Window - Do not create a legend.

Border Style

This option only displays when creating a thematic map (on the MAP tab, in the Content group, click Add Theme). Note that not all thematic maps use a border style. Check to place a border around the selected Legend Frame. If you want to change the pen style for the border, click the box displaying the X (the Style button) to display the Line Style dialog box.

Restore Default Title and Labels Button

Press to restore default title and labels.

Range Labels

Font

Click the Font button to access the Text Style dialog box where you can specify text style attributes for your range labels.

Edit selected range here

Make changes to the selected range label in this box.

Changing the range values in the legend does not change the range values in a ranged or individual values map. To do so, go to the Customize Ranges dialog box by either choosing Modify Thematic on the LEGEND tab, or double-clicking anywhere in the frame for the thematic in the Legend Designer window. Either method displays the Modify Thematic Layer dialog box, where you can access the Ranges button and modify your ranges.

Show this Range

Check to have the selected range appear in the legend.

Show Record Count

Check to include a count of the number of values included in the range. This displays as a number in brackets, such as (34) for 34 values in the range.

Cancel

Cancels your customizing and returns you to the Create Thematic Map - Step 3 of 3 Dialog Box.

OK

MapInfo Pro customizes your legend according to your specifications and displays the Create Thematic Map - Step 3 of 3 Dialog Box.
