Map Composition in ArcGIS Pro

Introduction to Map Design

• The session begins with an overview of the power of map design tools in ArcGIS Pro, emphasizing the importance of preparation before creating a map composition.

Workflow Steps for Map Composition

• Key workflow steps include adding data frames, symbolizing layers, configuring page properties, positioning data frames, adding map elements, and publishing the final product.

Case Study: Police Stations in Alicante

• A specific example is presented showing police stations in Alicante along with their locations. Additional elements like images and tables are incorporated to enhance information presentation.

Project Setup and Data Layers

• Upon downloading the dataset from the virtual campus, a project opens with all necessary information pre-packaged for use.

Designing the Map Layout

• The design includes two maps: one displaying police stations and another showing situational context. The municipality of Alicante is highlighted within these layers.

Adding Tables and Images

• The layout features a legend corresponding to the main map and a table loaded with relevant data. Images are strategically placed next to police station locations.

Utilizing Table Frames

• To add a table frame, users select an icon for new table frames, choose the type needed, click to place it on the map canvas.

Incorporating External Images

• Users can import images either from local storage or online sources by locating them on their network or web.

Predefined Design Templates

• A predefined design template can be imported using an established tab; users select their desired layout (e.g., A4 horizontal), adjusting only necessary components like data frames as needed.
