This is likely to be true of all the GIS applications we use, but I mostly use ArcView. The instructions for doing this are kind of hidden in the ArcView help files (isn't everything), the keyword for finding about graphs is not graph it is chart. Anyway to make a graph (chart) such as Tiffany described just: 1. Double click on the symbol in your Table of Contents to open up the Legend Editor Dialog. 2. Select the Legend Type as Chart. 3. Select either the bar chart or pie chart icon in the lower left of the dialog box. 4. Select the properties button to change the minimum height, maximum height, and/or the width. 5. Apparently you can't alter where the charts are positioned. The help file reads "You cannot change where the chart symbol is positioned on the feature it represents." I think this is a stupid limitation, but that is the way the software is written (anyone listening at ESRI?).

Also a pie chart. You certainly can do it in Maptitude www.caliper.com You can adjust the height of the bars, their width and even move them around to make the map look better. it will do 3D, but seems 3D should be reserved for data where there really is a 3rd dimension.

For example: Hoping to produce one map of the US with a bar graph in each state which shows market distribution for three variables. SAS Map allows a great 3-D map of the bar graphs, but for only one variable. (Similar to Atlas, MapInfo's colored theme map except 3-D bar graph.) The visual presentation, showing and comparing max and min height across all the states speaks volumes for displaying market penetration. Thus, hoping to produce one map showing share for all three variables. Currently have access to following software: ArcView, ArcInfo, Atlas, MapInfo, BusinessMAP, SAS.... Any thoughts...? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tiffany Scott, Systems Analyst Michigan Health Services Research [MHSR] The University of Michigan tbscott@umich.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .
