The number of groups is flexible, a ramp of symbols is generated for the resulting classification.

Projections

For full flexibility projections can be assigned to the map and to each separate layer.

Applications based on Thuban: GREAT-ER
GREAT-ER is a simulation system that assesses the chemical exposure of, for example, household chemicals down-the-drain for real-existing geogaphically referenced river networks.
GREAT-ER is a nice example of how to add complex functionality to Thuban by modifiying or extending the menu, toolbar, and other elements.
