You can see, for instance, that there are no countries wit h popu lat io ns between 49 and 66 million or between 76 and million. You' ll check your progress on the Africa Ari as poster. Rename the file mLexDSa. Otherwise, exit the application.

To symbolize these values specifically, you would need to set class breaks manually. Exercise 6b In this exercise, you won't add a new map to the adas. Instead, you' ll make a refi nement to the Topography map from chapter 5. You' ll manually create a class to represent elevations below sea level. If ArcMap is already run ning, cl ick the Fil e menu and click Open.

Click ex06b. You see the six data frames you've already symbolized. Make sure your Layer Properties dialog box matches the following graphic, then cl ick OK. The area below sea level displays in Mars Red. It isn't as bright as you might have expected, because the layer is 70 perce nt transparent.

The view zooms back to the scale that will be displayed on your poster. Th e areas below sea level are still faintly visible. You' ll look at your Africa Arias poster.

ClassifyingJeatures tlnd rasters Afrlc. In the next exercise, you'll symbolize population density. Rwa nda has aboue 10 mill ion. Bue which of the tWO is more densely populated? To answer that ques tion, you would need to know the number of people per square unit of area. As long as you have both a population attribute and an area attribute, th is is a straightforward operation-you simply divide populacion by area.

Dividing one attribuce by another to find the ratio between them is called normalization. Ie is commonly used to calculate density, but has other uses as well. For example, normalizing population by income gives income per capita. Exercise 6c In this exercise, you'll normalize population by area to make a population density map. I f Arc Map is already running, click the File menu and click Open. Click ex06c. In the table of contents, the Pop Density data frame is active.

You'll divide [he values in [he POP field by these values to obtai n [he population density of each country. Double-click the Countries layer to open the Layer Properties dialog box. Click the Symbology tab. The Graduated colors option is highlighted. IH The values in the Range column now express popu lation per square kilometer. In the Labels column , values are rounded, the default for normalized data.

In the meantime, you can send it to a plotter or printer and hang it on your wall.

In the current map document, the map page size is set to E, 44 inches wide by 34 inches high. You can confirm this by clicking the File menu and clicking Page and Print Setup. If you have access to a plotter, print this version. Map elements in this document have been rescaled to fit a letter-size page.

In ArcMap, labels specifically represent values in a layer attribute table. You can add other bits of text to a map, bur, stricdy speaking, rhey are not labels and do not behave quite the same.

Labels, for example, stay close to the features they are associated with as you zoom in or out. Text is not similarly sensitive. Its position relative to features may change markedly if you zoom or pan the map. As you have already seen in chapters 3 and 5, you can label all features in a layer with a single click. This process, called dynamic labeling, is fast but has some limitations. For one thing, ArcMap chooses the label positions.

You can set guidelines, but the actual placement is our of your hands. If the scale of your map changes, or if different layers are added or removed, ArcMap may change the positions of labels.

Dynamically placed labels can, however, be converted to annotation. As annotation, each label becomes a piece of text that can be independendy moved and modified. If you want significant control over the appearance and placement of labels, it is essential to convert them to annotation.

If you only need to label a few features on your map, the best solmion may be the Label tool on the Draw toolbar.

This tool allows you to label features one at a time by clicking them. Like annotation, interactively placed labels can be put wherever you want and changed individually. Labelingftalltres Using dynamic labels Dynamic labels are easy to work with because they behave as a group. When you turn them on or off, change their symbols, or change the anribure value they express, these operations are applied ro all labels in the layer.

The drawback to dynamic labels is that ArcMap doesn't always put them just where you'd like. For this reason, they are often convened to annOtation in the late stages of map production. In the following exercises, your map display will be redrawn many times as ArcMap adds and moves labels. If it fails to redraw as it should, click the Refresh View button at the bottom left corner of the map display.

Your results may be slightly different from those shown in the graphics. Exercise 7a You work for the Ministry of Tourism in Mexico and are making a map to promote travel in the southeastern states of Cam pee he, C hiapas, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, and Yucatan.

The map will be published on the Internet, allowing map users worldwide to turn on various layers and navigate to different pan s of the region, where beautiful beaches lie close to Mayan ruins. In this exercise, you' ll label the five states and their major ruins. You'll also add text to the map.

Click ex07a. Mexico is shown in yellow. The five scates that will be on your tourisc map are on the Yucaca. You'll zoom in to them. Click the Bookmarks menu and click Southeastern States. The Southeastern States layer displays only at scales larger than ,, You'll label che scaces in chis layer dynamica lly.

Labelingfeatures 3 In the table of contents, right-click the Southeastern States layer and click Label Features. Each feature in the layer is labeled. ArcMap tries to put the labels in the center of each polygon.

You'll change the font and colot of the labels. Click the Labels tab. Below this, you see the current label symbology.

The labels for this layer ate drawn in black Book Antiqua 12 point. If Book Antiqua is not one of your system fonts, another font, such as Arial, will be substituted. In the list of fonts, scroll up and cl ick Ar ial. Make sure that your dialog box matches the following graphic, then click OK. Map readers would be better oriented if you labeled the Gulf of Mexico in the northwest part of the map. Unfortunately, you don't have a layer that represents the ocean.

The blue water is simply the background color of the data frame. Since there is no Gulf of Mexico feature, there is nothing to label. Instead, you'll add text with the New Text tool. Labelillgftatures 9 On the Draw toolbar, click the New Text tool. The cursor changes to a crosshair with an "A. In the text box, t ype Gulf of Mexico and then press Enter. The text is drawn in Arial 10 point, as you can see on the Draw tool bar. The dashed blue line indicates that the text is selected.

You'll increase the font size. On the Properties dialog box, click the Text tab, if necessary, and click Change Symbol. The Symbol SelectOr dialog box opens. Make sure that your dialog box matches the follOWing graphic, then cli ck OK. Click OK again on the Properties dialog box to close it. If of Mexi. I The new properties are applied to the text. Now that it's larger, t'he text may have to be moved. Labelillgfeaturrs 4 Move the mouse pointer over the text.

The cursor changes to a four-headed arrow. Drag the text so that it approximately matches the following graphic, then release the mouse button. Click an empty blue area to unselect the text. Now you will display the locations of major Mayan ruins. The labels show the period to which each ruin belongs-interesting, but less important for your map than the ruin's name.

You will choose another field in the layer attribute [able [0 use for labeling. Notice that ArcMap has moved some of the state labels to new positions to make room for [he ruin labels. Again, your display may look different. In the Layer Properties dialog box, click the Labels tab. Make sure your dialog box matches the following graphic, then click OK.

The ruins are now labeled w ith their names. Rename the file mLex07a. ArcMap chooses label positions according [0 rules that you set. Labels for points can occupy any of eight positions around the feature above. You can rank these positions and prohibit particular ones. Labels for line features can be placed above. Labels for polygons.

In addition, labeling priorities can be set for each layer in a map. If there isn't room [0 label two nearby features in different layers. Exercise 7b In this exercise, you wil l change the rule for positioning the ruin labels.

You wil l also turn on and label the Rivers layer.
