Clipping Symbols on Vector Maps
In a 1-grid vector map or a 2-grid vector map, any symbols at the edge of the map are truncated at the map limits. This results in a partial vector being drawn when the vector extends beyond the map limits. If a partial vector is drawn, but a full vector is desired, a change in the map limits is required. Follow these steps to change the map limits:
-
Create a vector map using the Home | New Map | Specialty | 1-Grid Vector Map or Home | New Map | Specialty | 2-Grid Vector Map command.
-
Click on the map in the Contents window or plot window to select it.
-
Click on the Limits page in the Properties window.
-
If a partial vector is displayed at the bottom or left of the map, decrease the values in the xMin and yMin boxes to display the entire vector.
-
If a partial vector is displayed at the top or right of the map, increase the value in the xMax and yMax boxes to display the entire vector.
