Re: [MI-L] Thematic legends getting truncated

[Info at Spatial Decisions]

Hi Robin

The truncating of thematic legends in the Layout 
window is a long standing issue. Whilst they do print properly, they still 
appear truncated if you save the Layout window as a JPG for example so that it 
can be placed into a document.

The way around this issue is to use the 
Cartographic Legend option under the Map pull-down menu. Then in the 
Layout window, it is just a matter of ensuing you select the "Legend of " 
rather than the "Thematic Legend of " to fill the frame where you require 
the legend to be. This should make the legend display 
completely.

Note that when creating the Cartographic Legend the 
thematic layer is normally at the bottom of the layers displayed on the 
right-hand side of the dialogue. All of the other layers can be removed if 
you just wish to display the thematic legend.

Hope this is clear and of some 
assistance.

Robin,

Yes, you are right. This is a known issue. But I think the problem is 
only on the screen, so when you print the layout window, the legend should be 
complete.

getting truncated

Hi 
All,

Has anyone else 
experienced difficulties in editing thematic legend windows? 
Occasionally, when I insert a thematic map legend in a layout window, the bottom 
and right parts of the legend are truncated, resulting in missing text and 
symbols. I've tried a few things to overcome this, including altering the 
frame dimensions and also going into the legend properties to alter the 
swatch. Neither of these seem to help. I understand that this is a 
known problem, but is there any way of overcoming this? I'm using Pro 
version 8.

I've been advised to 
just create a standard map legend of just the thematic layer, but this seems to 
be an inconvenient way of doing things, especially if MapInfo creates a legend 
anyway for thematic maps.

Thanks for any 
response
