Hi,

Does anyone know if it possible to create thematics based on a set of Symbol 
defintions within a table or array ?

I am trying to write a MapBasic routine to create thematic maps based on objects with 
PointInd values but 
using a set of predefined symbols (stored in a table or array) to represent the Symbol 
styles.  For example, the 
following information exists within a table :

TABLE 1 : Data
Column A        Column B
A               TYPE A
B               TYPE B
C               TYPE C
D               TYPE A
E               TYPE B

I want to create the thematics based on Column B, where the Symbol styles are taken 
from the definition
within a seperate table, in this example Symbol Styles below.  

Table 2 : Symbol Styles
Column A        Column B
TYPE A          RED TRIANGLE            (Style - 36, 16711680, 12)
TYPE B          BLUE SQUARE             (Style - 32, 255 ,12)
TYPE C          GREEN CIRCLE    (Style - 34, 65280, 12)

The ultimate goal being for the user to be able to edit the Symbol Styles table, 
define the symbol styles in Column B
and thereby create their own customised thematics.

Does anyone know if this is possible ??

Regards,

S Helyar
