Remarks

This class can be used for data classification in process of creating thematic maps.

The main purpose of data classification is to group large number of observation into classes according to classification method and it's parameters (NumClasses or Interval).

The layer's attributes used in classification must have numerical values that are real or integer type. Name of the attribute field is specified in TGIS_ClassificationVector.Field property (1), or TGIS_ClassificationPixel.Band (2).

Generated class breaks are stored in ClassBreaks indexed property. Furthermore, information about belonging to classes for each observation can be written in attribute field provided in TGIS_ClassificationVector.ClassIdField (1).

StartColor, EndColor, TGIS_ClassificationVector.StartSize (1), and TGIS_ClassificationVector.EndSize (1) properties limit the range of generated visual properties - color ramp or size/width - depends on layer type defined TGIS_ClassificationRenderType.

Here is a list of available classification methods, commonly used by GIS specialists:

and less frequent but very useful:

Data classification process can affect different visual layer's properties,look at the following enum:

(1) applies only to vector layers, (2) applies only to pixel layers
