1 I. An Intro to ArcMap Version 9.3 and 10 What is Arc Map? 1) Arc Map is basically a build your own Google map a. Display and manage geo-spatial data (maps, images, points that have a geographic location) and metadata (data associated with locations, like an excel table) i. Ex: Geologic map, census data, Lat Long coordinates with your sample data or filed photos b. Perform calculations on raster data, query geo-spatial data 2) Types of Data: a. Raster a grid of x,y,z data. Analogous to.bmp (or a Matlab array!) but with a coordinate system b. Shapefile - point, polyline, polygon vector data. Analogous to the shapes you can draw in Illustrator or Powerpoint, but referenced to a coordinate system c. Drawings points, lines, text annotations that have no geographic association; Analogous to shapes drawn in PowerPoint or Word 3) View Modes: a. Data View the working mode while editing your map b. Layout View the display mode for exporting a final map 1
2 II. Changing Colors and Line Weights, and Display Options (Version 9.3 and 10) Determine what data are associated with the shapefile in the Attribute Table a. In the Layers Panel Right click on the name of the layer and select Open Attribute Table In the Layers Panel, right click on the name of data set you want to modify Select Properties a. This will bring up a dialogue box with multiple tabs: 1) Source Tab b. Full file pathname/ directory c. Projetion information d. Extent e. Format and NoData value 2) Symbology Tab a. can change the symbol, color, line weight etc b. Types of Color Schemes for Shapefiles i. Features 1. All data are displayed as one color/ symbol 2. Ex: Black square and all sample locations ii. Categories 1. Data can be coded to a particular field in the Attribute table so that there are multiple symbols 2. ex: Forrest land is green and water is blue iii. Quantities 1. Can scale symbol size or color based on an Attribute Field 2. Ex: Dot size is small for low Chloride concentrations and large for high concentrations iv. Multiple Attributes 1. Set both color and size to change proportional to an Attribute Field 2. Ex: Dot size increases with City Population density and colors change based on that cities mean citizen age 3) Display a. Can set transparency of a layer b. Can use hyperlinks link a data point to a photo or image file 4) Labels a. Add Labels to map layers based on an Attribute Field (check the box for Label features in this layer ) 2
3 III. Some Tools for Making a Geologic Map Editing Shapefiles (Different in Versions 9.3 and 10) SAVE EDITS FREQUENTLY! there is no autosave! Version 9.3 A) Drawing points, lines, and polygons Edit the Shapefile / Editor Mode Editor Edit Tool Pencil Task Target Dropdown Dropdown Dropdown 1) Go to the Editor toolbar. Select Start Editing from the Editor drop down menu a. You will be prompted to select the folder which contains the shapefile you wish to edit. i. Problems?

Right click where you want to add a vertex point and select Insert Vertex 4) Trace tool - will create a new line by tracing part of an existing line a. Select the feature to trace with the Edit Tool b. Click the drop down menu next to the Pencil, c. Select the Trace Tool d. Click on the outline of the feature where you want to begin tracing, and drag the cursor along the boundary of the feature to trace the element. e. Single click to stop tracing f. You can then switch back to the pen tool to continue drawing the rest of the feature 5
6 Version 10 B) Modifying things that are already drawn Editing Tools Edit Tool 1) To change the shape of a feature that has already been drawn a. Use the Edit Tool arrow to select the feature to modify. b. In the editor toolbar select the Edit Vertices icon. When you select it, the vertices of the feature will be shown and the Edit Vertices toolbar will appear. c. You can select and drag the vertices to modify the shape of a feature. Add vertex Delete Vertex 2) To delete a vertex a. As above, use the Edit Tool arrow to select the feature to modify, and select the Edit Vertices icon. the Edit Vertices toolbar will appear. b. Right click on a vertex and select Delete Vertex or select the Delete Vertex icon in the Edit Vertices toolbar, then click on the vertex to delete. 3) To add a vertex a. As above, use the Edit Tool arrow to select the feature to modify, and select the Edit Vertices icon. the Edit Vertices toolbar will appear. b.

Adding X,Y data from GPS coordinates in a text file (Version 9.3 and 10) 1) Create a text file that contains columns with the x,y position data (in UTM coordinates or decimal degree format) and any associated data (ie elevations, quantities, etc.). a. This must be tab delimited. It must have a have a header row that contains x (or long) and y (or lat) data separated by tabs b. This file must habe no other formatting.
