Helo, I would use Mondrian.DistributionMap that you have recently implemented, but the pb that I had is: -each distributed entity has at less two properties (let us imagine: 'first property'->'fill color darkness' and 'second property'->'border color darkness'). -in some models may be we will have more than two properties to map: we can have 4, 5, etc. of properties but in the same time any given entity could not be attached to more than two properties (in other words we need to mapping different properties to different colors). -could we have the possibility to use different shapes for the distributed entities (some entities are boxes while some others are ovals). Now could you, please, tell me how to improve the actual implementation of distribution map? may be we should implement a new distribution map, what you think about the time cost? any help is appreciated, i should going on very fast :-) best wishes, hani
