Chapter 14 - Map Feature

The DataFerrett Map is a new feature developed for the Make a Table / spreadsheet screen in the 1.1.7 version of DataFerrett. This feature is activated for datasets supplied with geographic data which was selected using the Geography wizard (See Chapter 8 ). Begin by highlighting cells of your table that have geographic data.

Select the map button on the toolbar.

For this example we are using Arkansas data, Males in the Labor Force in all counties of Arkansas. The following shows the map of Arkansas with Counties. The darker the color of the county the larger number of Males in the Labor Force.

You can select the [View] drop down menu and select [Legends] which shows the color differences.

The default number of differences is 7.

By changing the legend to 9 it makes more dramatic color differences. A lesser number will show lesser differences.

Under [Layers] different Layers of geographic features include highways, water, and roads can be added to your map.
