<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I'm running 0.11.0-Metis on
Slackware 12.1 and am having a problem with the symbology when
displaying certain shapefiles. It appears that when setting properties
(under the "Symbology" tab) using "Legend type" = "unique value" and
the "classification field" is numeric, nothing is drawn to the screen.
If this field is text instead, it works as expected.<br>
<br>
Here's a portion of the attribute table:<br>
<br>
ID CAT LABEL <br>
0 999 LAND<br>
1 1297 C. Mud<br>
<br>
If I choose "LABEL" in the classification field, then choose "Classify"
everything works. If I choose "CAT" instead, I get a list of the
values and assigned colors in the "Layers Properties" dialog, but
nothing is drawn to the screen.<br>
<br>
Is this a bug, a feature, or am I doing something wrong? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Jim<br>
