Remote Sensing and GIS Application Third Year Lecturer Ruba Yousif Hussain Map Layout is the arrangement of elements on a page. A map layout may include a map title, legend, north arrow, scale bar, descriptive text, and geographic data. Data frame A map element containing one or more data layers that defines a geographic extent, a coordinate system, and other display properties. Data view An all-purpose display in Arc. Map for exploring, displaying, and querying geographic data. This view displays the contents within a data frame. Other elements that appear on the page layout, such as titles, north arrows, and scale bars, are not displayed when in data view. Layout View In Arc. Map, a display that shows the virtual page upon which geographic data and map elements, such as titles, legends, and scale bars, are placed and arranged for printing. Map element In digital cartography, a distinctly identifiable graphic or object in the map or page layout. For example, a map element can be a title, scale bar, legend, or other map surround element. The map area itself can be considered a map element, or an object within the map can be referred to as a map element, such as a roads layer or a school symbol. 2
Remote Sensing and GIS Application Third Year Lecturer Ruba Yousif Hussain Legends A legend tells a map reader the meaning of the symbols used to represent features on the map. Grids and Graticules Grids and graticules are used to display coordinate positions on the earth. Graticules show lines of latitude and longitude for the earth, while grids show measured locations based on a coordinate system or can be used as a reference system for a grid index. Street map is a map of a city or town, showing the positions and names of all the streets. There are five parts of the map: 1. Title. the heading of a map. 2. Compass Rose. a part of a map that shows directions. 3. Key. a part of a map used to define symbols on the map. 4. Grid. the set of lines that show coordinates on a map. 5. Scale. the part of the map used to show big it is in actual size. 3

GIS Tools Layout Toolbar Draw toolbar The Draw toolbar can be used to add graphic shapes such as rectangles, lines, and points. You can also add graphic text and edit text properties. Tutorial The first step in Arc. Map is to change your map view to layout either by selecting Layout View from the View menu or by clicking the Layout View button on the lower left of the map display. 4
