Maptitude - http://research.umbc.edu/~roswell/maptitude.html
Come on you GISDK programmers, bite the bait, won't take real experts like
YOU to turn this one out...! Think how cool everyone will think, excuse me,
know you are, after you pull this one off. And on top of that because it
will be so clearly written and documented it will give us GISDK beginners a
wonderful lesson on proper programming techniques.
Lets get the specs right:
Develop a style sheet for thematic maps
1. can be assigned a unique name
2. User can set number of categories
3. User can set the size and number of the divisions using the ones
available in Mapt or manually.
4. User can set the colors
5. User can apply the thematic style sheet on any map layer.
6. One applied the resulting map can be changed and the style sheet saved
under a new name.
What else?

I agree that this is critically important. One place where MapInfo really
does have it over Maptitude. Can any of the real Maptitude experts here
make this wish come true?
By the way, I've noticed that patience is a virtue when using the
directionsmag.com site. Why there, finally I got into our
Maptitude wishlist. For the record, this wish is already there, courtesy
of bob rogers. (who favors lower-case.)
