Key notes:<\/b><\/p>\n Screenshots Chp.1<\/b><\/p>\n Preface Chp. 2<\/b><\/p>\n This chapter gave 8 tutorials to demonstrate different necessary techniques that the ArcGIS program features. The first and second chapters expanded on the tools in chapter one such as symbology and data attributes. In the first three tutorials of chapter 2, I adjusted the symbology, and the colors associated with the map of the location.

The fifth tutorial invol;ved adjusting the symbology to make symbols on the map more prominent, which was similar to the seventh tutorial in making dot density maps. The sixth tutorial was the most challenging to me and involved creating a choropleth map with a custom scale. This was like a combined tutorial of the previous ones and was only the most difficult because of the many steps that were involved.

In this chapter, you built map layouts and charts, used the online ArcGIS website to upload your completed maps, and more.The first tutorial of this chapter, you learn how to use the<\/span> guide tool<\/b> to align the 2 separate maps, how to create a <\/span>legend, <\/b>and create <\/span>charts<\/b>. The legend allows you to read the map’s symbology and understand what the map is depicting.

This tutorial I found to be the most challenging of all the tutorials from this chapter because of the vast number of steps. I learned from this chapter how you can create and edit an online story that you share through the website. This tutorial was mostly copying and pasting but keeping track of which text and heading goes where as well as creating the heading links proved to be challenging. The last tutorial was about creating a <\/span>dashboard<\/b> in ArcGIS which was easier than I anticipated and required adding an element table, a bar chart, and adjusting the setting and appearance. This chapter was by far the most instructive so far and put my skills to the test but allowed for me to become more familiar with ArcGIS.<\/span><\/p>\n Key Notes<\/b><\/p>\n Screenshots Chp.3<\/b><\/p>\n Preface Chp. 1 The first tutorial sections were primarily introductions to the program and how to navigate the maps. The first and second tutorials consisted of the navigation instructions and how to use the unique features and tools that ArcGIS utilizes. The third tutorial was about working with attribute panels, which was the most complicated for me. The attribute panels are used to add and edit attribute data for groups. This was the most challenging for me because the names did not match that of the tutorials, so I had to use best judgment in order to follow along with the tutorial’s instructions. The final tutorial, tutorial 4 was demonstrating the symbolling on the maps. This tutorial was my favorite of the first tutorials because editing the map’s symbols can change the flow and overall readability of the map. Within the symbolling tab, you can alter the symbol, size, border, and color of the data point. This section of the tutorial was very easy and allowed for me to observe the effects that different symbols mean and how to determine which ones to use. Key notes: Right click a data group and within the dropdown menu click symbology to edit the data points’ appearance Add bookmarks using the bookmark button on the map tab In the analysis tab, click tools and open the toolbox to obtain access to a variety of tools for the program To observe a 3D model double, click the item with 3D listed in the catalog pane Screenshots Chp.1 Preface Chp. 2 This chapter gave 8 tutorials to demonstrate different necessary techniques that the ArcGIS program features.

Key Notes: Layer Properties window, click Definition Query > New Definition Query to create a def. Query. View tab, in the View group, click Convert > To Local Scene to create a 3D Choropleth map Screenshots Chp.2 Preface Chp. 3 I found the 3\u2019rd chapter to be the most intriguing and informational of all these previous chapters from this week’s assignment.
