Divide and conquer.<br /><br />Theme by the attribute(s) that they have in common (plant family). 70 theme rules still sounds a bit excessive, so you could probably theme by alphabet (family names starting with A, starting with B, C, D, ... Z).<br /><br />You could then create family-specific layers (filtered on the family name), that are themed on plant name if the number of rules isn't too large.<br /><br />So the resulting layer structure on your map would be like:<br /><br />> [Group: Plants by Family]<br />>>> [Group: Families - A]<br />>>>>> [Themed Layer: Families - A]<br />>>>>>>> [Group: Aceraceae]<br />>>>>>>>>> [Themed Layer: Plant Names for Aceraceae]<br />>>>>>>> [Group: Araliaceae]<br />>>>>>>>>> [Themed Layer: Plant names for Araliaceae]<br />>>>>>>> [Group: A...]<br />>>> [Group: Families - B]<br />>>> [Group: Families ...]<br />>>> [Group: Families - Z]<br /><br />This allows flexibility in the presentation of your plant features, you could see the plants themed by family, toggle on the layers for the families you're interested in intereted in and then drill-down to specific plants in that family, etc.<br /><br />It doesn't have to be this granular, but it will make layer presentation much more manageable.Jackie Nghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14319639645667992869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951542926024108564.post-74449934099025788692012-08-16T19:04:22.844+10:002012-08-16T19:04:22.844+10:00Hello,

Another option would be represented by family rather than per plant, in this case would be about 70 different families. What do you think is better?<br /><br />Thank you very much.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049586025133504507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951542926024108564.post-48780539748452501502012-08-15T13:51:23.146+10:002012-08-15T13:51:23.146+10:00Think about this.
