In ArcGIS Explorer this point size is represented in terms of pixels or a point to map units conversion. Size: when you add points to a map, a symbol size is assigned for you based on the scale ranges the data is displayed in, what the data represents (that is, a map note versus a GIS feature), etc. Point Style: the point style menu gives you the option of displaying the point symbol as a billboarded 3D symbol when the map is in 3D displaymode, or as a rasterized symbol draped on the surface of the map: The transparency control is available for all geometry types in feature layers: point, lines, and polygons: The more transparent, the more you can see the map content that is drawn under the symbolized data. Transparency: clicking the transparency control displays a slider control that allows you to change how transparent the symbol displaying the data is. Note that the controls are specific to the geometry of the symbol in other words, some controls only display when you've selected points or lines or polygons. Once you choose a symbol, you use the other controls in the symbol to change some characteristics of how itвЂ™s displayed. You can also add or remove custom symbols using the Manage My Symbols dialog, which can be accessed by clicking on Manage My Symbols.

You can change the symbol used by clicking the itemвЂ™s Appearance tab. create a note, add a shapefile, etc), the application assigns a default symbol for you to display the data. In some cases, youвЂ™ll decide how the GIS information that you add to the map should be displayed, whether itвЂ™s to assign a symbol to a place that you find, or to specify how the features in a shapefile should be drawn. For example the control that creates a note will assign a symbol to that note, KML layers define how their features are drawn, and ArcGIS layers' symbology have been defined by their authors. When you add content to ArcGIS Explorer, the way itвЂ™s displayed on the map is often defined by the source of the content. Feedback E-mail this topic Print this topic
