M2: Typography

 This module we were tasks with designing a map of Florida displaying major cities, swamps and rivers using proper cartographic elements and typographic principles. The majority of the lab involved placing and editing labels through the label property panel. If further editing was required than the convert to annotation tool was used. These annotation could be edited and warped as needed using the move and edit vertices tools. In addition, a requirement was to make three edits of our own to the map in an effort to develop our individual cartographic styles. I made many edits but the larger ones were changing the the symbology of the state capital as a yellow star which can be intuitively identified as a capital. I removed all cities and rivers that didn't require labels to reduce map clutter and I changed the color scheme of the Swamp and County layers so that the river labels were more easily visible.

GIS Programming Module 4

  The below images are the output of the script for module 4 followed by the flowchart for the script. This module covered manipulating and editing data in feature class attribute tables. What you see below is the result of creating a new geodatabase, copying all shapefiles saved to the module 4 data folder to the new geodatabase, a search cursor identify the name, feature, and population of all New Mexico county seat cities populations. Finally it prints out a dictionary that has been populated with the county seat names and populations. Output: Flowchart:

Module 1 Lab: Visual Interpretations

  The focus of this lab was to identify features in aerial images using various techniques. The top map used shows features that were identified using one of four methods, pattern, shape and size, association, and shadows. The bottom identified areas using texture and tone from fine to course and light to dark.

GIS 6005 - Module 6

  Because the data provided for the above map contained positive and negative values which ArcMap does not support for proportional symbols, the data had to be modified. All states with positive values were exported to a new shapefile and the same was done with states with negative values. This was all that needed done with the positive valued states. However, for the negative valued states a new field needed added to the attribute table and it had to be populated with the absolute value of number of jobs lost to convert them to positive integers.  To prepare the data for bivariate visualization classes needed to be made. To do this, three class quantification was applied to each desired variable to divide each into three relatively equal groups. Then all values in the first group of the first variable were classified with an 'A', then the second group was given a 'B', and the third was given a 'C'. the same thing was done with the second variable however 1, 2 ,...
