Where you are now You have assembled all the raw materials for your map. The aerial photograph provides context. The geometry from the DWG drawing shows the county boundaries, and the SDF files add the city boundary and parcel outlines. To continue this tutorial, go to Lesson 2: Style Map Features (page 49) Lesson 2: Style Map Features In the Lesson 3: Get Started (page 30) lesson, you changed the style for the roads in your map. You changed the color, thickness, and pattern for the lines representing roads. In this lesson, you use themed styles to give the viewer an immediate sense of the value of each parcel. Exercise 1: Create a theme for the parcels layer A theme uses a range of colors to represent an analogous range of values. You can also use theming to show relative area, population density, water depth, or height of geographic features.
