Create a Theme to Reveal Patterns in Your Data
A theme can help you analyze map data and reveal
patterns or trends in the data. Themes vary the display of your
data based on properties or attributes of the data. For example,
you can use different colors for different soil conditions or bigger
dots for larger cities. The procedure varies, depending on whether
you are theming features, drawing objects, or surfaces.

Add layers from features sources, drawings,

Add any required properties (for example, population
density or traffic rates)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add attribute data for the new properties
|
|
|
|
|
|
Link attributes to objects using a link template,
or store data in the drawing using object data
|
|
|
|
|
|
The theme is based on the values of the feature’s
properties
|
|
|
|
|
|
The theme is based on the values of the object’s
attribute data
|
|
|
|
|
|
The theme is based on the surface height (elevation),
slope, or aspect (direction of slope)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Specify the label text, font, size, format,
color, background style and color, alignment, and rotation
|
|
|
|
|
|
Display attribute text for drawing objects using
annotation or as part of an import operation
|

|
|
|
List the theme’s conditions and explain its
colors, symbols, line patterns, shadings, and annotation
