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:

  1. Create a vector map using the Home | New Map | Specialty | 1-Grid Vector Map or Home | New Map | Specialty | 2-Grid Vector Map command.

  2. Click on the map in the Contents window or plot window to select it.

  3. Click on the Limits page in the Properties window.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
