Data for GIS and Data Quality

 

 The maps for this week show several types of data for Seminole County.  Data was downloaded from several sources including Labins.org and FGDL.org. This week was a tough run of trial and error trying to download the correct data and to make it work within two given maps.

Choropleth Mapping

PROCESS SUMMARY: 

Copy files to my personal Drive, load state_pop.shp into arcmap.

Update projection to North American equal albers.

Right click on my state_pop.shp and go to symbology tab.

Pick a graduated color scheme and changed my class breaks to quantile

Add personal data and title

Add neatlines to all maps (Hawaii, Alaska, and mainland U.S.)

Insert Scale Bar, Legend, and North Arrow

Save and export map to .ai for Illustrator

Export for web devices as state_pop_quantiles.jpg

Open excel pop data Create a formula for the E column: =(C2-D2)/D2,
creating the formula needed for change. Then expand to all my rows.

Add state populations for 2000 and 1999 in their respective class divisions. Use the division percent formula.Then create another row for the actual percentages of the population change.

Open Illustrator back up and load my previous population map.

Change map to greyscale and add boarder to each state, black looked best.

Hold shift and click on states that need to be changed to one color.

Adjust percentage numbers to reflect data.

Save map. Export map to web device (.jpg)

Projections Part 2- AKA Hardest Map to Date

1.From http://data.labins.org/2003/ > Quad Index (pdf file)> find 2 adjacent quads 

in Escambia County, Florida. Selected 5160

Perdido Bay and 5159 Fort Barrancas.

2.From Labins select DOQQ using 2004 RGB StatePlane, FT MrSID for both quads. 

 Extract all files for both quads (NE,NW,SE,SW of types

3.USX, SDW,SID).  Saved to folder called s:Intro to GIS\Week 6\Projections Assignment

Information about the Data:  Projection:  State Plane

Datum:  NAD83

Units:  Feet

Graphics Type:  MrSID

World File:  sdw

Resolution:  1-meter

Color:  True Color (not CIR)

4. Check ArcCatalog to make sure file has the correct spatial reference.  

State Plane: NAD 1983 StatePlane Florida North FIPS 0903

5.Update projection of other files cntbnd.shp, qd24, and majrds_feb10

From the toolbox,  Double-click Project tool Project tool window – 

Add the one you want to change and Output Dataset USGS 24k

Geographic Transformation |>NAD_1983 _To_HARN_Florida 

click OK to run reprojection process

6.Open all files in ArcMap.

7. Open Excel and import fileEscambia_tanks.xls.   

Add columns for Xcoor and Ycoor.  Use formulas for converting lat/long to decimal degrees (DD):

X = LATITUDE with FORMULA of DD=degrees + (minutes/60) + (seconds/3600)

Y=LONGITUDE with FORMULA of DD =((degrees + (minutes/60) + (seconds/3600)) *(-1)

The negative for Y is because the US is West of the Prime meridian so all longitude is negative.

Hover curser on bottom right of Xcoor column until a plus sign pops up.

 Click and drag to the bottom of the file data. Do the same for Ycoor.

8. Add Data to a Blank ArcMap page.  File ; Add Data>XY Data.  

Click Edit to define coordinate system and select Geographic Coordinate System

World WGS 1984.

Then Export Datq ;Export Data>Same data frame as Ouput

9. Open ArcTool box ; Data Management Tools  Projections; Transformations ;

Feature sub-;Double-clickProject tool Project toolwindow; 

Input Dataset as Export_Output_escambia_tanks.shp

 and Output Dataset as  Export_Output_escambia_tanks_StatePlane.shp

Output Coordinate System for Spatial Reference Properties;

;Click OK to run reprojection process

10. Add map essentials

11. Save and Export as JPEG

Module 6 - Typography

                            -Open Adobe Illustrator 

                            -Open Florida Keys.ai file

                            -Create neatline, change order and layers to accommodate new 
                    items

                            -Add Legend, North Arrow, Data box

                            -Label all layers accordingly

                            -Add symbols to map and legend

                            -Add text to associate symbols

                            -Add line from text to symbol

                            -Save to S:drive and export once map in JPEG format.

Projections Part 1

         This week we explored projection systems. The following is the process summary in order to create a map with three different projection types.

Process Summary:

1)Open cntbnd.ship

2)Add two new data frames by clicking insert, Add data frame

   3)Adjust/re-project cntbnd.shp to State Plane and UTM, then change label to match projection type

    4)Calculate geometry area for each county, display in miles (Escambia, Alachua, Miami-Dade, and Polk). Notice surface areas have different outcomes based on their projection type

5)Add scale, text, title, projection info,  name, date, and data source

6)Export map and upload to blogger

Cartography - Map Composition

1.       Open file in adobe illustrator
2.       Group layers together (specifically legend and Hispanic map)
3.       Create New layer>Neatline> rectangle > create rectangle
4.       Changed size and re-arrange objects
5.      Create New Layer>Text> Add Text Information
6.       Save and export 

Introduction to Illustrator

In this week's module we learned how to use the basic functions of Adobe Illustrator.
Once you export your map from ArcMap in the .AI file type, you are able to open the file in Adobe Illustrator.
1. Expand map to fit on screen.
2.Open the layers panel from the floating palette > Expand Other and . You can click the circles on the right to see what each label is attached to.  Open a new layer, like the legend attributes, and drag and drop its corresponding items into a the new layer. Do this for the North Arrow, Legend, and Scale Bar.
3. Move Cities, Counties, and Scale Bar into one layer.  This is crucial because if you do not group them, it can affect the accuracy of your Scale Bar. Delete empty paths.
4. Create a new layer and name it Text > Click and hold the Text icon from the tool bar and add in the title of the map.  Do this again to add your name, date, and data source.
5. Export your finished map by clicking File> Save for Web Devices> Change File Format to Jpeg and Save to your S:Drive.
