Step 1: Import Data
To create a map with Mapperg For Mapinfo, you need to have a data file in one of the supported formats, such as CSV, Excel, or TAB. For this example, we will use a CSV file that contains the population and area of each state in the US. You can download the file from here.
Once you have the data file, open Mapperg For Mapinfo and click on the "Import Data" button on the toolbar. A dialog box will appear where you can browse and select the data file. After selecting the file, click on "Open".
Mapperg For Mapinfo will automatically detect the format and fields of the data file and display them in a table. You can preview the data and make any changes if needed. You can also specify the coordinate system and projection of the data if they are not defined in the file. For this example, we will use the default settings.
When you are ready, click on "OK" to import the data into Mapperg For Mapinfo. You will see a map window with the boundaries of each state.
Step 2: Customize the Map Style
Now that you have imported the data, you can customize the map style to suit your needs. Mapperg For Mapinfo offers various options to change the color, size, shape, transparency, and pattern of the map features.
For this example, we will create a thematic map that shows the population density of each state using different shades of blue. To do this, follow these steps:
Select the layer that contains the state boundaries in the layer list on the left panel.
Click on the "Style" button on the toolbar to open the style dialog box.
Select "Thematic" as the style type from the drop-down menu.
Select "Population/Area" as the field to classify from the drop-down menu.
Select "Equal Interval" as the classification method from the drop-down menu.
Select "5" as the number of classes from the drop-down menu.
Select "Blue" as the color scheme from the drop-down menu.
Click on "Apply" to apply the style to the map.
You will see that the map features are colored according to their population density values. The darker shades of blue indicate higher population density and vice versa.
Step 3: Add Labels and Legends
To make your map more informative and readable, you can add labels and legends to display additional information. Mapperg For Mapinfo allows you to add labels and legends with various options to customize their appearance and position.
For this example, we will add labels that show the name and population density of each state. We will also add a legend that explains what each color represents. To do this, follow these steps:
Select the layer that contains the state boundaries in the layer list on the left panel.
Click on the "Label" button on the toolbar to open the label dialog box.
Select "Name" as the field to label from the drop-down menu.
