## Shape Map Area Conditional Formatting dialog

The dialog appears when you click Format > Conditional Formatting on the menu bar, or click the Conditional Formatting button on the toolbar of the Shape Map Editor window. It helps you to set some conditional formats on the shape map areas. See the dialog.

The following are details about options in the dialog:

Map Area Condition

Lists the conditions.

- Priority
  Specifies the priority of each condition.
  - High
    Moves a condition up for a higher priority.
  - Low
    Moves a condition down for a lower priority.
- Add
  Adds a new condition in the Edit Conditions dialog.
- Remove
  Removes the selected condition.
- Edit
  Edits the selected condition.

Format

Specifies the format for the areas defined in the selected condition.

- Fill Color
  Specifies the filling color for the areas.

  To specify the color, click the color image button and select a color swatch or type the hexadecimal value of the desired color (for example, 0xff0000) in the text box directly. If the color swatches cannot meet your requirement, you can click More Colors to open the Pick a Color dialog, with which you can set a full range of color.

- Border Color
  Specifies the border color for the areas.
- Border Style
  Specifies the border line style for the areas.
- Border Width
  Specifies the border width for the areas, in inches.

Note: The format set here corresponds with some formulas. After you save the map and the corresponding catalog, and then load the catalog again, you will find some formulas are developed in the catalog. You can edit the formulas in the Formula Editor. However, the change you make to the formulas will not be reflected in the Map Area Conditional Formatting dialog.

Cancel

Cancels the changes and exits the dialog.
