ArcGIS Desktop part 14 (poster creation part 9; dynamic labels for features) Video Lecture | Way to Learning GIS and ArcGIS - Data & Analytics

hello everyone for this video tutorial
we will go or go on with the exercise
number 7 AE which is last or final
exercise in the whole section 3
displaying data and in this exercise I
would like to show you how to use
dynamic labels and labeling methods to
produce a quite good looking map for
your audience
therefore I would like you to open the
exercise number 7 a go open exercise 7 e
and as you can see we have a map of
Central America mall s Mexico in this
case and what we will do in the first
hand we will use a bookmark which is
given by given to you now sees
southeastern states and in this case now
a new layer is visible so we can just go
and go back once more to the other
extent so south south water what a
shitty word southeastern states sorry
for that would be displayed on the map
you have already seen it how to produce
labeling just by right-clicking on the
feature and say label features which
reproduce the labeling but you can also
go at open the layer properties go on
labels and choose the text string which
will be shown on the string in our case
it will be the administrational name we
will leave the expression as it is but
what we will do what we will do as well
is we will use maybe another text symbol
so we will use um maybe Arial there's a
most common feature type and we will set
the text symbol to be represented in
bold letters so now each state has a
quite good-looking
and well-drawn label in it but what else
can we do we should adjust the
visibility of that so maybe go with
another color scheme in it here like 60%
we can also do is you can try to produce
how to call it independent labels maybe
or just text in your map so therefore
just switch to the layout view this is
our million sites in Mexico which is
called the map and we will create it on
annotation maybe um by using the toolbar
for drawing therefore go to customize
toolbars draw there is it we will just
drag it over there we'll zoom in in the
map what we will do we will create a
label for the groove of my
this is now only drawn on map so Google
we can zoom out from a map maybe to get
in one-on-one overview there it is our
labeling or our labor label what you can
do you can just drag it around and you
can also arrange the symbol so the
format of the text we will go along not
with the country type but we would
search for something that will represent
maybe our ocean and say okay so this is
now now oh poor Gulf of Mexico you can
really you can play around a lot with
the with the properties and also with
the source of position and symbol as
well
you can adjust some shadowing and and
mask and you can add maybe a text box
around it and so on so you can play
around with that later on let's just say
okay what else we'll cover do we have
another layer here which is called runes
you will add this and now all the rules
are shown on map we can give maybe two
tourists but what we will do we will
change the label field in in the moment
this is a thing called period but maybe
a tourist or so is not interested in the
period in first hand but he would like
to know the name maybe to give it to a
taxi driver or something like that or to
his travel agent and that he can arrange
a route to that so we'll adjust it and
say please draw the name of the site
this is it for the moment there's what
that was a very short introduction or
maybe not an intra-day
somebody who's more on their short
coverage we will go ahead with the
exercise number seven B in the next
