There is a thread in MapInfoL at the moment discussing adding spaces in a legend.

I had a thought that I could open the .wor in Notepad and put spaces between the legend code blocks and that would do it.

Doesn’t work.

My colleague and I then reasoned that there must be a way to add spaces between entries in the workspace document by adding some code or other.

Is there a command in MapBasic which adds a space between things at all ?

How about using an expression rather than just the field name in the legend?

 

 

"    " + fieldname

Just reread the question …spacing BETWEEN blocks

 

how about an expression of fieldname + Chr$(13) (untested)?
