  1. Working with Cartographic Representations Edie Punt Chait Gaddam

  2. What are cartographic representations? • A way to symbolize features to solve cartographic challenges • A storage model that stores symbols with data • Part of a feature class, managed through a layer Working with Cartographic Representations

  3. What can representations do? Representations can draw features cartographically Working with Cartographic Representations

  4. What can representations do? Representations can produce dynamic geometry which may differ from spatial geometry Working with Cartographic Representations

  5. What can representations do? Feature classes can have more than one representation to draw the same data in different ways Working with Cartographic Representations

  6. What can representations do? Representations can be data-driven to tailor symbols to feature attribution Streets drawn with one symbol Casing and fill width from attributes Working with Cartographic Representations

  7. How do I get started? Convert a symbolized layer to a representation on the source feature class from the Table of Contents Working with Cartographic Representations

  8. How do I draw representations? You can symbolize a layer by a representation if one (or more) exist on the source Working with Cartographic Representations

  9. What are representation rules? • Like symbols: a set of drawing instructions • Consist of: • symbol layers • geometric effects Working with Cartographic Representations

  10. Sample representation rule • Lake representation rule: • marker layer • stroke layer • fill layer marker layer placed in center solid stroke layer solid fill layer Working with Cartographic Representations

  11. Demo Working with representations Working with Cartographic Representations

  12. Geometric Effects and Marker Placement Styles Working with Cartographic Representations

  13. Representation rules Representation rules contain: • symbol layers- drawing instructions • geometric effects- dynamic geometry changes • marker placements- marker position instructions Working with Cartographic Representations

  14. What are geometric effects? • Dynamically change geometry before symbol applied • Affect all symbol layers, or just one • Can convert geometry type • Can work sequentially • Extensible: write your own Working with Cartographic Representations

  15. Chaining geometric effects • The dynamic output of one geometric effect becomes the input geometry for the rule • Geometric effects can be chained together • Geometric effects can be applied to the whole representation rule symbol, or just one symbol layer Working with Cartographic Representations

  16. Representation geometry logic • The geometry of the last effect in the chain must match the geometry of the symbol layer • Else a geometry logic warning appears Working with Cartographic Representations

  17. Geometric effects examples Dashes Move Offset Tangent Suppress Extension Working with Cartographic Representations

  18. What are marker placements? • Position representation markers • Along lines and polygon outlines • Within polygons • In relation to points • Extensible: write your own Working with Cartographic Representations

  19. Marker placement example • stroke layer- solid outline • marker layer- large dots • placement = along outline • offset = -3 pt • marker layer- medium dots • placement = along outline • offset = -7 pt • marker layer- small dots • placement = inside polygon • offset = -10 pt Working with Cartographic Representations

  20. Creating representation markers Marker Editor • Import font glyphs, edit vertices • Draw polygons and lines • Align, order, group, rotate • Resize, erase, warp Working with Cartographic Representations

  21. Demo Geometric effects and marker placements Working with Cartographic Representations

  22. Overriding representations Working with Cartographic Representations

  23. What are representation overrides? Exceptions to the rule • Customize individual features • Made while editing Property overrides • Change any property of the rule Geometry overrides • Store alternate geometry Working with Cartographic Representations

  24. Property override Create an exception to the rule Working with Cartographic Representations

  25. Geometry overrides Must enable representation to handle geometry overrides Working with Cartographic Representations

  26. Creating overrides • Interactively with the representation toolbar • Explicitly change rule property • Use field in the attribute table to define override • Cartographic Refinement geoprocessing toolset Working with Cartographic Representations

  27. Interactive overrides Use the Representation Properties window to manage feature overrides Working with Cartographic Representations

  28. Overrides in explicit fields Link symbol layer properties to feature attributes • Size, width, angle, visibility, etc. Draw symbols based on current data Any rule property can use attribute values • Must use valid field data type Reduce duplication of rules Working with Cartographic Representations

  29. Using geoprocessing Cartographic Refinement • feature-level Representation Management • representation-level Working with Cartographic Representations

  30. Demo Overriding representations Working with Cartographic Representations
