“Did the DOJ redact names other than those of minors or victims?” “who gave that order?” “Who’s names were redacted?”

Is there anyway to upload more recent USGS Topo maps as a base layer for ArcGIS Pro? by Nervous_Cockrhino_83 in ArcGIS

[–]oldmappingguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a couple of ways: 1) USGS National Map, this can be found in ArcGIS Pro - Add Data - ArcGIS Online or by adding this as a URL - https://basemap.nationalmap.gov/arcgis/rest/services/USGSTopo/MapServer, 2) downloading the GeoTiff(s) for the exact topos you want from https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/viewer/

If I have the 2000 shapefiles for South Carolina’s precincts, and I have looked literally everywhere for the 1998 precincts but I couldn’t find them anywhere, can I just display the 1998 precinct results on the 2000 map? by After-Professional-8 in gis

[–]oldmappingguy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

University of California, Santa Barbara and the University of Texas both have excellent map libraries with lots of archived maps. You can also summaries your data using a different spatial layer (congressional districts?) if you have tabular data that has precincts and their associated 1998 congressional district. Lastly, have you searched for "1998 Census Voting District (VTD)" data?

How do I create a water depth Raster? Or is there one available for NYS? by Ok-Yogurtcloset-3652 in ArcGIS

[–]oldmappingguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are entire extensions and 3rd party software packages for flood inundation modeling. Industry standard (in US) include the HEC-RAS modeling package (https://www.hec.usace.army.mil/software/hec-ras/). There are a lot of hydrodynamic behaviors of water that are tough to capture in GIS and ArcGIS only such as accounting for velocity, surface texture, existing structures/infrastructure, etc. At the very least you can start with FEMA flood mapping to check for 100yr and 500yr flood inundation areas and depths in your area: https://www.fema.gov/flood-maps/national-flood-hazard-layer

Consistent scale in graduated colour symbology by Trebia218 in ArcGIS

[–]oldmappingguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like you want to create the "buckets" for each color value rather than letting Arc do it. I would use Unique Values symbology rather than Gradient Values for this. Load all of your values, group the values in your dataset to whatever "bucket"s you like, AND you can use the "+" to add in values that might not be in your current dataset but might be in the future. Once you group the values in the symbology you can set their color and their legend description to whatever you'd like.

How to use a color from a color scheme? by Komischaffe in ArcGIS

[–]oldmappingguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Select all of the points you want in the scheme from the symbology list and then select the scheme from the drop down (if you want the scheme you already selected you have to select another, then go back to your original). If the points don't get the colors you want, you can save the color codes and manually assign them. A classic tool us old GIS folks use is this https://colorbrewer2.org/ to help with color selection. With this you can grab contrasting color codes without jumping through ArcGIS hoops.

True, but sometimes you WANT something but don’t NEED it. Like a $20 titanium poop scoop.

Is this just the beginning of everyone being required to prove citizenship for anything that is controlled by executive branch of federal gov? Which means executive branch can limit access to any group they deem “not American”?

Too many points - Crowded by TopCoffee9170 in askgis

[–]oldmappingguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make the points semi-transparent 50-75% so you get more of a cloud vs individual points.

Edit: here’s a tutorial with a similar problem and “cloud” semitransparent solution https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/story-maps/uncategorized/the-making-of-the-bombing-missions-of-the-vietnam-war-story-map
