  1. MAP CREATION USING ARCVIEW:PRACTICAL ISSUES Tom LargoBureau of EpidemiologyNovember 13, 2006

  2. TOPICS TO COVER • Optimal shades to select for B & W printed MDCH documents • Determination of appropriate classification type • Equal Interval • Quantile • Natural Breaks • Standard Deviation

  3. SHADING • Max number of discernible groups: 4 • white • black • two shades of grey • To determine optimal shading, had to work backwards – viewing copy of PDF

  4. SPECIFICATIONS • In ArcView 3, the specifications for the two grey shadings were:

  5. SPECIFICATIONS • In ArcView 9, the specifications are:

  6. EXAMPLE

  7. EXAMPLE Problem!

  8. EXAMPLE One solution

  9. ONE LAST SUGGESTION • See proof of final from printer to ensure can distinguish grey shades

  10. SELECTING A CLASSIFICATION TYPE • Each type will usually result in a different illustration • Impact on viewer will be different depending on type selected • Q: How do you determine which one to use?

  11. EQUAL INTERVAL(equal rate range)

  12. QUANTILE(equal number of counties in each category)

  13. NATURAL BREAKS(id natural breakpoints in data distribution)

  14. STANDARD DEVIATION(ranges based on std dev around mean rate)
