One 、 Name of the experiment

        ArcGIS Production of thematic map of application foundation

Two 、 The experiment purpose

0 Master the method of adding map elements

1 Master the method of map output

2 Understand the basic process of thematic map making

3、 ... and 、 Experiment preparation

1. Data preparation

0 arterials.shp: Street vector line feature data  

1 airport_area.shp: Airport range vector surface feature data

2 tracts.shp: Street range vector face feature data

2. Software preparation

ArcGIS10.X

Four 、 The experimental steps

        1. open ArcMap Software , newly build ArcMap Blank document , Import the above data into ArcMap Software ;

       2. Yes tract.shp The data is symbolized by population density , choice tract.shp Right click on data to open properties > Symbol system > Category > Number , Select population density field , Choose the right Ribbon . Can be confirmed .

        3. We make thematic mapping of the visualization results , Thematic mapping needs to be carried out in layout mode , Let's first switch the layout mode ： Click layout mode in the lower left corner of the view window , Enter the layout view ;

         4. Under layout view , We can see the layout toolbar , We can adjust the size and position of the layout here . If you want to adjust the size of the internal data of the layout , You can select the data toolbar shown in the following figure .

        5. Under layout view , We need to add three elements of the map to the current layout ： scale 、 legend 、 Compass , On this basis, you can also add titles , Characters and so on . But before that , We can see that the shape proportion of the data frame does not match the shape of the data , We can adjust the shape of the data frame in the page and print settings , Make it suitable for data layout .

        Right click under layout view > Page and print settings > Adjust the paper direction and map page direction to horizontal , determine > Manually adjust the boundary position of the data frame , Can be confirmed .

        6. Insert scale bar . Now? , We can add map elements to the layout , Insert options in the menu bar and select the scale bar , The scale attribute can be set according to the specific situation , I adjust the scale unit here to km. Click OK twice and adjust the size , Just move to the right position .

 

        7. Insert the north arrow . Empathy , In the menu bar > Insert > Compass , Choose the right north arrow , Adjust the position and size .

        8. Insert legend , The legend is the description of the elements in the figure , The elements we show here are population density and road elements , Therefore, we only need to show these two elements in the legend , Also insert the legend . Adjust the layout .

        We can select the layer to be displayed in the legend by adjusting the button in the middle , Click next .

        Fill in the legend title according to the actual situation , Adjust legend font properties , Click next . 

        Choose the appropriate legend layout , I only choose to add borders here , Other default ; Click next . 

          Other parameters default , Can be completed .

        9. Insert title , Enter the title content , Right click Title Properties , Select the appropriate font and size and confirm , Our layout view is basically created .

        10. Export map . In the file > Export map > Select the resolution, save type and export path , Can be confirmed .

        thus , The experiment is over ！
