Classifying a Layer with a Single Value
This Help topic describes features that are available in XMap
GIS Editor and XMap GIS Enterprise.
When you classify a layer in a database with a single value, all of the records are in
the same class and look the same on the map. For example, they all have the same
fill color on the map. By default, single-value classifications are automatically
assigned to all layers.
To Classify a Layer with a Single Value
Use the following steps to classify a layer with a single value.
1. Click the GIS tab.
2. Click the Workspace subtab if it is not selected.
3. Click the layer you want to classify.
4. Click the Tools button and then click Classify.
The Classify Layer dialog box opens.
OR
Right-click the layer and click Classify.
The Classify Layer dialog box opens.
5. To edit/view an existing classification for the selected layer, select it from the
Classification drop-down list.
OR
To create a new classification for the selected layer, click the Manage button
and then click New.
6. Select Single Value from the Type drop-down list.
7. Click OK.
Saving a Classification to a Template File
This Help topic describes features that are available in XMap
GIS Editor and XMap GIS Enterprise.
Use the Save as Template feature in the Classify Layer dialog box to save the
parameters of a selected classification into a template that you can apply to another
layer. The Save as Template feature is useful only when the layer to which you are
applying the template has the same attribute fields (name and data type) as those
used in the original template. If the layer does not have the same attribute fields as
those used in the template, an error will appear when applying the template to the
layer.
To Save a Classification to a Template File
Use the following steps to save a classification as a template.
1. Click the GIS tab.
2. Click the Workspace subtab if it is not selected.
