What are representations?

• Representations are
• properties of a feature class
• stored in the geodatabase
• managed through a layer
• sometimes called feature class representations,
  to differentiate from feature representations,
  which are the instance of individual features
  drawn according to representation rules
• Representations are NOT
• a new data type
• a new layer type

9
Representations can

• symbolize features cartographically according to
  rules
• draw features differently from spatial geometry
• be data-driven to tailor symbols to features
• display the same features differently on
  different maps without creating additional files
• be customized for individual features to improve
  display
• automate symbol refinement using geoprocessing

10
What can representations do?

• Representations are an advanced way to symbolize
  features cartographically according to rules

Representations display features cartographically
11
What can representations do?

• Representations can draw features differently
  from their spatial geometry

Rivers are drawn smooth although geometry is
jagged
12
What can representations do?

• Representations can be data-driven to tailor
  symbols to features

The size of the casing and fill is driven by
attributes
Streets are drawn with a single symbol
13
What can representations do?

• Feature classes can support multiple
  representations to display features differently
  on different maps without creating additional
  files

The same data represented two ways Both versions
are stored in the data, not in map documents or
layers
14
What can representations do?

• Representations can be customized for individual
  features by overriding properties of the
  representation rule to improve display

The rule for one park is changed to not draw
trees near the park edges
Symbols are offset from their spatial location to
avoid conflicts
15
What can representations do?

• Making maps with representations can be automated
  using geoprocessing

Buildings oriented to the nearest linear symbol
Bridges created at intersections and rivers
automatically masked
16

• Representation rules

17
Representation rules

• A representation is a collection of
  representation rules
• Convert existing symbology to rules
• Build new representation rules
• Rules create and symbolize dynamic geometry
  independent of spatial geometry
• Rules can be managed in ArcCatalog or ArcMap
• Representation rules can be shared using styles

18
Representation fields

• RuleID field
• references the representation rule as an integer
• Override Field
• Stores feature-specific overrides to the rule
• Explicit fields
• Rule properties can be mapped to fields in the
  feature class

19
Representation rule properties

• Symbol layers
• Marker
• Stroke
• Fill
• Geometric effects
• Dynamically alter display geometry
• Marker placement styles
• Place representation markers relative to input
  geometry

Geometric effects and marker placement styles

• Geometric effects dynamically change display
  geometry
• Marker placement styles position markers
• Along lines and polygon outlines
• Within polygons
• In relation to points
