Map Properties dialog: Canvas tab

Use this tab of the "Map Properties dialog" to specify the size of the map.

For more information, see "Editing Map Views."

Components

Canvas Size

Use this box to specify the size of the map within its container. You can select either Default, Custom, or a predefined size. If you select Default or a predefined size, then no other options are available and the map is sized to fit its container. The container is whatever area is holding the map, such as the area in the Map editor or the section of a dashboard page.

Width

Use this field to specify the width of the map in pixels.

Height

Use this field to specify the height of the map in pixels.

Map Wrap-Around

Use this box to specify a "wrap-around" feature when you include line formats on a map. Lines are the only format that cross map borders, such as an airplane flight from San Francisco to Tokyo. When this feature is turned on, you can pan the map so that lines are not broken.
