I'm creating a map of annual child care costs by state for the entire United States and need to include Hawaii and Alaska. When I see similar maps those states are often included near the tip of California. What I'm masking is Canada and Mexico. Perhaps there is an easier way of creating this.
I've been using the Quick Start, choosing "Map your own data", choosing my spreadsheet, and mapping by state. I then choose "Show State boundaries with your data attached" along with a color theme and the map that's created includes Canada and Mexico, which I don't want when it comes time to insert into my document. I can also get Alaska mapped this way but it comes with Canada in between. Unfortunately, this is one of the problems of being a one-person non-profit with no funding for additional training. It means figuring it out by trial-and-error! Thanks for your help, -D ________________________________ From: Maptitude <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, August 24, 2012 9:19 AM Subject: [Maptitude] Re: Masking Hawaii Problem Hi: It seems from your description that you may not have to use the Mask tool at all. You can simply zoom to the area you want to save as an image and choose File-Save As. Otherwise, could you describe what you are trying to "hide" via the mask?
