#### Colour categories

This type of thematic analysis is commonly used to show categories of a thematic data as a classification, using different colours. It is applicable to point, polyline or polygon layers with string data.

For legend settings, see [General legend settings](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/thematic-analysis-style-options#general-legend-settings).

#### Shapes

This type of thematic analysis is commonly used to show categories of a thematic data as a classification, using different symbol shapes. It is applicable to point layers with string data only.

For legend settings, see [General legend settings](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/thematic-analysis-style-options#general-legend-settings).

#### Patterns

This type of thematic analysis is commonly used to show categories of a thematic data as a classification, using different patterns. It is applicable to polyline or polygon layers with string data.

For legend settings, see [General legend settings](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/thematic-analysis-style-options#general-legend-settings).

#### Colour ranges and Pattern ranges

**Colour ranges** are applicable to point, polyline or polygon layers with numeric data.

**Pattern ranges** help you compare your data by displaying pattern ranges. The fill pattern palette is designed to show a progression in the data using the density or width of the pattern. It is applicable to polygon layers with numeric data.

Here are the specific legend settings:

![4_color_ranges_settings](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/4_color_ranges_settings-1.png?width=352&name=4_color_ranges_settings-1.png)![8_pattern_ranges_settings](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/8_pattern_ranges_settings-1.png?width=352&name=8_pattern_ranges_settings-1.png)

#### Colour Gradient

This type of thematic analysis helps you compare the data by applying continuous colours to the map features. The colour gradient is defined by 2 colours, for the minimum and maximum value of the data chosen. It is applicable to point, polyline or polygon layers with numeric data.

Here are the specific legend settings:

![5_color_gradient_settings](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/5_color_gradient_settings.png?width=352&name=5_color_gradient_settings.png)
