Maps can be edited within the view window by selecting “Settings” from the context menu opened by a right click on the map.

The colors of the different classes can be edited by clicking at the specific color.

The colors can be

• selected from a example color palette
• defined through HSB color system or
• defined through RGB color system

Optionally you can generate a color gradient from a start color to an end color or an invert color gradient that does not folow the color model in the inverse direction.

Furthermore, you can modify the design of your legend by changing the font type, style and size or by changing the margins between the text and the color boxes of the legend.

You may display unique values using a streched legend layout or a grouped legend layout with color boxes for each value.
