2. ֍ Creating group layer and layer package
Why Group Layer?
• organize related kinds of layers in a map
• to define advanced drawing options
For example, suppose you have two layers on a map
representing railroads and highways. You could group
these layers together and name the resulting layer
Transportation Networks.
Why layer package?
We can share everything about the layer including
its
symbolization, labeling, field properties, and data.
Other users can add layer packages directly into their
maps without knowing how to access the database or
classify the data.
֍ Creating a map layout
A map layout is a collection of map elements organized on a virtual page designed for map printing or sharing in
a compatible mode (jpg, png, pdf, tiff etc.).
Typical map elements includes scale bar, north arrow, map title, descriptive text, a legend, graticule etc.
֍ Data Driven Pages
Ability to generate a set of output pages by taking a single layout and iterating over a set of map extents.
Four elements are required for the creation of data driven pages. They are detail data frame, index layer, name
field, sort field

3. ֍ Reuse Layer
We can reuse any type of ArcGIS layer and symbology by
> copying a layer file
> pasting it into our data frame and
> changing the data source for the new layer.
֍ Multiple Map
A Series of Map presented in a single layout. It is useful in showing dynamic issues like forest cover loss,
landuse change etc.
֍ Adding report and diagram to a layout
It’s useful when making posters or prints for presenting information about your study areas.

֍Map Animation
visualize changes in perspective, changes in the document's properties, and geographic movements.
to understand patterns in data through time and automate the processes through visual dynamics.

4. ֍Adding and Editing Base Map in ArcGIS
Used for locational reference and provides a framework on which users overlay or mash up their operational
layers, perform tasks, and visualize geographic information.
֍Creating a study area map
used to define the extent of our analysis.

5. Session 4:
Geodatabase design & Join attribute table
Fundamentals of GIS / RS Training
Instructor: Amanullah Refat
1. Creating file Geodatabase
2. Feature dataset
3. Feature class
4. Join and relate in GIS
5. Modifying an attribute table
6. Aggregating data

6. ֍ File Geodatabase
• a collection of files in a folder
• can store, query, and manage both spatial and non-spatial data.
֍Feature Dataset
A feature dataset is a collection of related feature classes that share a
common coordinate system.
It can include point, line and polygon feature simultaneously.
֍Feature Classes
Feature classes are homogeneous collections of common features, each
having the same spatial representation (such as points, lines, or polygons)
and a common set of attributes

7. ֍ Join & Relates
֍ Aggregate data (Spatial Join)
Through a common field, known as a key, you can associate records in one
table with records in another table.
When the layers on your map don't share a common attribute field, you
can join them using the Spatial Join geoprocessing tool, which joins the
attributes of two layers based on the location of the features in the layers.
