Chapter 4. Creating Map Symbology

In this chapter, we will start working with symbols and labels. Based on the characteristics of our data, we will create custom symbols to represent the geographic objects on different thematic maps. Moreover, we will learn how to map the density of the world's population by symbolizing a map layer based on its qualitative and quantitative attribute values.

By the end of this chapter, you will learn about the following topics:

  • Creating custom point, line, and area symbols within map layers
  • Labeling map features
  • Working with the layer files
  • Mapping qualitative and quantitative data
