The proper building of an index relies on the thorough consideration of its purpose during design and transparency of the process during communication. TheCalculate Composite Indextool guides you through the pr
The direction of the illumination source, azimuth, is specified in degrees. The hillshade formula requires this angle to be in units of radians. First, change the azimuth angle from its geographic unit (compass direction) to a mathematic unit (right angle). Next, convert the azimuth angle to ...
I’m a big fan of using transparency-laden color gradients on hillshade layers to get a subtle realistic textured look without the junk mid-tones. You can while away five to ten minutes of your allotted time on this Earthreading about how to do itin ArcGIS Pro. But who wants to be sub...
Whether you are building a map in ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, or some other software, it is good to have a graphics application open to play around with color and contrast. The opportunity to build a color gradient is a bonus. Graphics software like Adobe Illustrator is great. Otherwise, th...
In some cases, when importing hosted feature layers published from ArcGIS Pro from another project in ArcGIS Online, the symbology is not preserved. This article highlights the workflow to transfer sy
QGIS heat mapsare extremely easy to use and you don’t need a tool to generate any type of results. You also get the option to change color palettes or adjust the transparency based on different values in the heat map.
By default, ArcGIS Online will suggest a continuous (unclassed) size ramp. In the map you just made, the circles change size gradually from smallest to largest. The data is allowed to “breathe.” You can instead classify your data. This means dividing the distribution of values into a smal...
Transparency helps with some of the overlaps, and allows the information to be more subdued and in the background. How do you layer different categories of road or highway? How do you handle intersections and bridges? Do you ignore them as irrelevant to your subject? Do you try and build...
In the labels tab, you can decide which label styles to use. You get stylish labeling options in QGIS 3. For example, you can use halos, transparency, and drop-shadows. You can also adjust the transparency of features on the map. Optionally, you can save it as a style file for later...
