Thematic map：Symbol + Graduated Color

This thematic map is a combination of two themes, population and density. Population is styled
as circle symbol, density is styled using graduated color.

1. Data preparation

The data of density is polygon named “hubeidata”, the data to style population is point named
center, as shown in Table 1. To style different types of each theme, we classify the value of density
and population with quantile method. Table 2 displays the value breaks. We will use it in following
setting value.

2. Add new styles

The style of this map combines basic template style and custom style. So, to build a new style,
we start with basic template.
 Click Start with Basic.

 Input hubei in Toolbar, choose Hubei.

3. Symbolization

As for these two themes, we will style these corresponding layers in the order density and
population.

 Thematic map：3D + Graduated Color

This thematic map is also a combination of two themes, population and density. Population is
styled as 3D, it use the height value to express the value of population. Density is styled using
graduated color.

1. Data preparation

The data for density and population is polygon named “hubeidata”, as shown in Table 1. To
style different types of each theme, we classify the value of density and population with quantile
method. Table 2 displays the value breaks. We will use it in following setting value.
