Re: st: New -tmap- FAQ
1) Is there a way to control the size of the map? Does this depend on the
shape files used??
Currently there is not an option to control the size of the graph
using -tmap-. I believe -tmap_choropleth.ado- calculates the size of the
graph by using the below code.
local RATIO = (`ymax' - `ymin') / (`xmax'-`xmin')
local YS = 4
local XS = 4 / `RATIO'
If you wanted to you can edit the file tmap_choropleth.ado and manually add
the X and Y sizes you want. For example,
local RATIO = (`ymax' - `ymin') / (`xmax'-`xmin')
local YS = 4
local XS = 4 / `RATIO'
local YS = 5 /// Add ysize
local XS = 5 /// Add xsize
Is there a way to show deciles of "quantvar"?
The -clnumber(#)- options specifies the number of classes k in which
quantvar can be divided. This option accepts only numbers between 2 and 9.

-tmap- is great!
A couple of questions:
1) Is there a way to control the size of the map? Does this depend on the
shape files used??
2) Is there a way to show deciles of "quantvar"?
Thanks,
