I have a complex geology table that came through from ArcGIS.  Not being able to use the Arc Layer file, the fastest way to color my map was by using the thematic mapping method.  I would like to 'hard' color to the actual table itself as polygon styles.  Can I do this somehow from thematic mapper to the table?  Or at least get the RGB values?  Any comments helpful!  

Hi Giselle

Yes you can. It may be a bit time-consuming if you have many categories.

Start the process of the >Add Theme and Choose a standard template of region styles and then customise Styles.

Select the first category to Style and select the Foreground colour picker.

Then click on the three dots in cell P17 to arrive at this dialog

Adjust values to suit.

I would suggest you then save your Template for further use.

If you also adjust your Thematic Legend to read proper English (without underscores and abbrev.), you can save that into your Template.

Hope that helps

Hi Giselle

I'm working on a new version of the WindowHelper tool.

One of the features I'm planning on implementing is: Save Theme Styles to Table. I may have to come up with a better phrase for this feature.

It goes through the individual categories and for each category, it will apply the style of the category to the objects belonging to this category.

Is that what you were looking for?

Below is a gif showing you how it works in my current version of WindowHelper that hasn't been published yet.
