Author: Rajendra Dutt 1440 Weston Way, Bldg. 9-2S Phone: 610-701-3603 The Stack Symbols ArcView GIS extension was developed by Weston to automate the repeated mapping of very extensive three-dimensional environmental data. The Stack Symbols extension demonstrates an innovative use of graphics for data symbolization using Avenue and a customized font set. Use of the extension reduced the task completion period from four persons a week (160 hours) to two persons a day (16 hours), along with aesthetically pleasing and understandable maps. The paper describes the process of developing Stack Symbols and its associated tools in ArcView GIS, which would help environmental agencies implement more communicative maps with significant time savings. |
