Component Table Mapper

Example of use

This document shows how the Component Table Extension can be used to map component table data. The extension is used in step 1 to produce a dominant value table for KINDMAT for the Saskachewan SLC. The data is then mapped using the kindmat definition table (step 2), and placed in context using the predefined slchydro.avl legend (step 3).
