Re: Drawing map grid with different major/minor line thicknesses

Hi Michael,

There's only one resource for changing the thickness of the map grid lines, so the way you need to do this is to create two maps, one with thin lines and one with thick lines.

You can then attach one map to the the other as an annotation.

Please see example 3 at:

Note that it's better to use a line thickness of 1.0 (or higher) for the thin lines and 3.0 for the thick lines, so they look better if you convert them to another format like png.

Unfortunately, I have not found a way to do this. I've tried using tmXMajorGridThicknessF and tmYMajorGridThicknessF but they only produce vertical and horizontal lines that do not conform to the map projection. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
