The direct answer is simple: use windowinfo(frontwindow(),15) with the thematic map as foremost window. That will give you a string with all the info to clone the window. The shade statement will contain every thing you need.
The complete answer is complex because the extraction of the detailed info (type of thematic, values or value ranges, style attributes) depends on the thematic itself and in small part on the MI version. I have used that technique for FixShade (range thematic) and IVT (Individual Value Thematic) but I am not yet sure that I covered all situations (certainly no check made passed version 6.5) Jacques Paris e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] MapBasic-MapInfo support http://www.paris-pc-gis.com -----Original Message----- From: Ben Crane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28-Jul-04 04:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Obtaining Thematic details using Mapbasic Hi all, I thought I'd use a seperate email for this one instead of piggy-backing off my earlier ones. Can you use mapbasic to query information about thematic maps, eg. Colours used in the range, values, symbols styles, etc? This includes querying legend layers created from the thematic maps? If not, has anyone found a way around it and managed to obtain this information another way? Regards Ben __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
