I received a couple of responses to my question regarding custom pie maps. Original Question: I was wondering if anyone has seen or produced a thematic pie map where the shape of the pie is something other than a circle. I would like to use equally divided, colored, hexagons and squares to represent the presence or absence of various minerals at numerous sample locations. The shape of the 'pie' would represent the sample medium. Is this possible? Suggestions: Mark Crompton said he has a tool which inserts a circular region with colored wedges at a point, based on various parameters in a table. Namely, lat/long, antenna orientation (azimuth of wedge line) and antenna beamwidth (wedge arc size). He suggests I could do something similar with regions of different shapes i.e. hexagon, which could be divided into 6 equal parts. I believe you need MapBasic to do this. Jason Adam kindly helped me understand how he deals with displaying similar data and we both agreed that MI currently cannot meet our needs! He has contemplated creating custom symbols to do the job, which is probably the route I will take as I do not have MapBasic.
