Table Of Contents

Graph ► Tasks ► Map

The Map task interprets the columns of a table as names of maps. This is an unusual task because the "data" is really the Skin itself and the table entries are auxiliary. Hence, with the exception of the default USA map, a skin must be made to use the map task. Here are a few points regarding this task:

• The Making A Map Tutorial shows how to make a Graph Builder document and skin that is then imported by the Skins tool.

• The current map is selected by the Preference tool.

• The table is somewhat superfluous to using a map and you can hide it by moving the split view bar all the way to the right.

While importing data using Tables or Fetch keep in mind that the format is a list of names with one name per line.
