"Advanced" Tab

Used for advanced settings of individual values in the current unique value thematic map. All settings in this tab will be reflected in real-time on the current unique value thematic map, achieving WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).

"Offset Settings" Section: This section configures offset values for point, line, and area objects in unique value thematic maps.
- Offset Unit: Specifies the unit for offset values. Click the drop-down button to select between "unit" and "0.1mm". "0.1mm" indicates offset values are measured in 0.1mm units; "unit" maintains consistency with the coordinate system's units.
- Offset X: Sets the horizontal offset of labels relative to their represented objects. Values can be directly entered or derived from numeric fields in the layer.
- Offset Y: Sets the vertical offset of label symbols relative to their represented objects. Values can be directly entered or derived from numeric fields in the layer.
"Traffic Situation" Section: Configures road grading and road offset for Traffic Condition Maps at small scales.
- Road Grading: Controls road display: 0 hides road conditions (e.g., minor roads at small scales); 1 displays single-line roads (e.g., ramps); 2 displays dual-line roads (e.g., highways).
- Road Offset: Sets offset distance for dual-line roads in traffic condition maps. Positive values shift leftward along line direction, negative values shift rightward (unit: 0.1mm). Enables clear dual-line road display at small scales.
  
  Notes:
  
  Line direction refers to the drawing direction. For a line drawn left-to-right, the left side is above the line and the right side is below.

Notes

Applying thematic layer offset settings can create shadow effects in 2D maps for enhanced cartographic results.

Offset settings are currently unavailable for thematic maps created with 3D point, line, or area layers.
