1. In your own words, describe how symbology can be influenced by scale.
Symbology is only effective depending on the scale. A small scale map can't contain every detail so if there is lots of symbology used it will keep just clutter the map which makes a useless map.
2. What are two ways (one direct and one indirect) to access a layers symbol colors so that they can be changed?
One way is to right click to open a color scheme table. The other way is to left click which opens the symbol selector window.
3. How would you access the graduated symbols classification option?
Double click on the layer wanted for accessing the Graduated Symbols and select the Symbology tab and under the Show box select Quantities and that is where you will find Graduated Symbols.
4. What are 5 other symbology styles (in addition to ‘Conservation’) that are available to customize your features?
3D Buildings, 3D Trees, Civic, Public Signs and Weather
5. How could you permanently save layer symbology for use later on?
Right click on the layer and select the Save As Layer File and then choose a place and name the file.
6. How can pyramids help raster data display faster?
Pyramids make raster data display faster by using less resolution when zoomed out and more resolution as you zoom in which makes it much easier for ArcGIS to draw.
7. How could you quickly and temporarily change a layer name to aid display in the Table of Contents?
Double click on the layer and click the Generals tab and type the new name in the Layer Name box.
8. What is normalization? Give an example of when it would be used. "Dividing one attribute by another to find the ratio between them. If you normalize the population by income it gives you income per capita."
9. How could dot density maps be misleading?
The distribution of dots can be random which gives the impression of where something (whatever the dot's representing) is located when that might not be the actual location.
