Create a Custom Map

The following procedure describes how to create a new, customised map. For more information, see Map Parameters. This procedure can be used for creating 'Weighted Maps', using weighted ranges.

To create a custom map:

Click or select Analysis > Maps to display the ‘Edit Map’ dialog.
Select Environment Map or Map from the drop-down list on the left-hand side of the dialog. See Environment Maps for more information.
Click the New button in the top left-hand corner of the dialog.
- A new map is added to the left-hand pane.
Type a meaningful name for this new map in the highlighted name field and press Enter.
Set the 'Parameter', 'Value and Colour Ranges' and, if appropriate, the 'Alternative Value Ranges' on each of the respective tabs.
Click Apply or OK to save the map.

Note: If you are creating a 'Weighted Map' and intend to select Weighted Value Ranges on the 'Value and Colour Ranges' and or 'Alternative Value Ranges' tabs, you must select Weighted as the Accumulation Method.
