ArcGIS 9 - ArcmapTutorial
In this tutorial, you'll first create and print a map showing schools near the airport. Then you'll place this map along with two other maps that show land use surrounding the airport and population density for the county on a wall-sized poster for display.
In the tutorial, you'll learn how to: â ¢ Display map features. Add data to your map, Edit geographic data, Work with data tables, Query and select geographic features, Create a summary graph, Lay out and print a map. There are five exercises. Each exercise takes between 30 and 45 minutes to complete. You can work through the entire tutorial or complete each lesson one at a time.
ArcMap lets you work in data view or layout view. Data view focuses on a single data frame. Use data view when exploring or editing your data. Layout view shows you how the map page looks. Use layout view when composing and printing a map for display. You can also explore and edit your data in layout view.
ArcMap uses a random set of symbols to draw the land use types (although you can change the color scheme). You can change an individual color by double-clicking it and specifying a new color in the Symbol Selector, or you can specify a style to use predefined colors and symbols (a style is a set of elements, symbols, and properties of symbols stored in ArcMap, often specific to an application or industry). ArcMap provides some standard styles, and you can also create your own. You'll use a land use style created for this tutorial.
