But what’s up with that “Symbol Spacing” slider… You can adjust the size of the symbols via a slider so that lower values look one way and higher values look another. There’s a “custom” option that breaks out the symbols into ranges of, in this case, elevation. There is an array of symbols where there was once a DEM. I’d never tried out a Vector Field symbology before, though. I like to play with all sorts of hacky ways of visualizing DEMs. Here’s a Digital Elevation Model of The beautiful Pacific Northwest… It’s a delicious Raster Function that eats up continuous raster surfaces and spits out awesome weathery sorts of maps.īut why constrain ourselves to the intended use of a tool? Applied to raster images, it is intended to be used as a handy shortcut for making those cool wind, weather, or current maps, covered in directional graphics. Mountainification is just a simple hijacking of the Vector Field symbology family. We are about to embark on an unexpected journey of Mountainification. There are three elements to this aesthetic: Mountainification, Sketchiness, and Texture. You might even tease out the content of the next two blog posts. If you’re feeling brave, download the source ArcGIS Pro project and follow along. This technique, which is a total hack (but what isn’t, ultimately), can get you cranking out quill-scratched oak ink on parchment map inserts all in the cozy digital confines of your GIS. This is part one of a three-part blog extravaganza where I lay out how you might whip up a fantasy-style book-ish illustration-y map insert, in ArcGIS Pro.
