Choosing Categories in Legend
There are variety of ways to divide data into categories the most popular are
• natural breaks (arc view default)
•Equal Area (same spatial coverage)
•Equal Interval (same span across each category)
•Quantiles (same count of entities in each category)
•Standard Deviation
Today we will experiment with Quantiles
• Select Classify, Quantile, then 4 classes and round numbers at whole values
Result

Labels
• Let’s say that the default labels in ArcView weren’t what you want, how do you change them???
Labels
• Note how if the legend starts at 60% (county with highest concentration of Asians) and uses equal interval we don’t have much
Labels
• Let’s make our categories go 5, 10, 15, 20% and all above and see if things are better
1. Set things to 5 categories
2. Go into the values window and change min and max
settings
Changes made
Better but not good enough
• How would you continue to improve this?????
Improving Control over Placing things in your
Layout
