Thanks very much Jacques, Julian, Peter, Nick & Tony. It is really how someone can just throw something seemingly random out there and get all this help. I am currently testing all the different options that you've presented and it looks like FixShade will probably be the most appropriate for my needs because it doesn't strip out the other table columns like IndiValuThematics and it allows you to do the whole table at once, unlike Set_styles. The latter tool is really cool though in that it works similar to the Eyedropper tool in Illustrator. -----Original Message----- From: Jacques Paris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2004 6:04 AM To: Julian Balson Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MI-L export table with thematic applied Thank you for mentioning that application. My first reading of Claude's message was that FixShade would be more appropriate (to be used for range thematic, also available on the site). I have changed the date stamp to end of 2004 on the zip available for download. I put such a stamp on "new" software when I am not sure of its functionality; I prefer waiting for any feedback from "real life" users to make suggested improvements or changes. For example, the "It's a bit tricky to use" comment could indicate a faulty documentation or some design fault. In either case, I could do something; but what exactly?

The program can be quite frustrating so here a few tips on how to use it (you will need to go through this exact procedure every time): 1. Open the table you wish to apply the thematic to and apply one of the MapInfo default thematics to the table (do not spend time changing the styles etc - you will lose it!). 2. Define a new IVT template from this thematic (do not spend time changing the styles etc - you will lose it again here!). 3. Run IVT; you can now set all your styles etc. The program will assign these styles to the objects in your table. Note that the table it creates will only contain one column - the one you created a thematic from. The data is easily reapplied using your original table however. Drop me line if you have problems with it.
