This was an issue I complaint several times already. It basically renders
individual value themes useless, if somebody wants to compare two maps,
whose thematically shaded values do not cover the complete range of defined
categories.
I had geological maps with over 25 categories, where I wanted to shade the
stratigraphy attribute with the same standard colors in all maps for better
comparison - unfortunately it was not possible using individual values
themes. The alternative, to number-code the attributes and use range themes
was an option, but we needed the real data in our tables and no number code.
I hope that individual themes will finally get the long awaited overhaul so
that it is a fully usable feature for us.

Subject: MI Theme colors
hello to all
my table has a field with 10 specific values in it that i set up color
themes
for. when the entrire table is mapped, the colors correctly match the
corresponding value of the field. for example: apple=red, pear=yellow,
grape=purple, pea=green.
however, when i query and map only a portion of the table, it may only have
2
of the 10 values present, such as pear and pea. the color theme then
becomes
pear=red and pea=yellow. the color is being determined by the order the
value appears in the field, rather than the value itself.
the thematic map type=individual and the template name=region indvalue.
how do i set up the theme colors to always be apple=red, pear=yellow,
grape=purple, pea=green, regardless of the order they appear in the field?
please email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
thank you!
