I'm plotting vector data for different attributes for countries across Europe. I've used symbology to plot categories of countries. However, the data are numbers so are on a continuous scale. I would therefore like to plot the numbers in each country on a continuous colour or shading gradient (the default for raster data), where the number is each country is represented as a point on the scale rather than interval scales. This will make the data much easier to interpret. I cannot find a way to do this in ArcMap 10.
Does anyone know a way that this can be done?

There should be some color progression options that can suit your needs for vector data. Look under "categories and then once you have your value field selected, click the "color ramp" and scroll through. Some of the choices are actually color progressions between two colors. If those aren't quite what you are looking for there go down to "quantities" and select "graduated colors". From here you have the ability to pick a field and then the color ramp includes a lot more options for color progression.
