SPECIFIC TYPOGRAPHIC GUIDELINES:All Features
![Page 3: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES• Orient type horizontally
– Except when labeling a map that has curved parallels, in which case the type should be oriented with the parallels
Graticule with curved parallels
![Page 4: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES• Orient type horizontally (cont.)
– Except when labeling diagonal or curved features, in which case the type should reflect the orientation of the features
![Page 5: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES• Avoid overprinting and, when
necessary, minimize its effects– Overprinting occurs when type is placed
on top of a map feature, obscuring the type and making it difficult to read
![Page 6: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES• The effects of overprinting can be
minimized through the use of– Mask– Halo– Callout
![Page 7: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES• A mask is a polygon placed below
type, but above the mapped area– Masks can sometimes obscure too much
of the mapped area– Masks can be specified with the same
color as the underlying area
![Page 8: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES• A halo is an extended outline of letters
– Haloes cover less of the underlying mapped area than masks, while still allowing the type to be read
– Don’t make haloes so thick that they attract undue attention
![Page 9: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES• Callouts are a combination of mask
and leader line– Callouts are effective, but should be used
with caution– They are visually dominant and can
overshadow other map elements
![Page 10: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES• Ensure that all type labels are placed
so that they are clearly associated with the features they represent
• Place larger type labels first, followed by intermediate, and then smaller labels
![Page 11: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SPECIFIC TYPOGRAPHIC GUIDELINES:Point Features
![Page 12: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
POINT FEATURE GUIDELINES• Avoid overprinting when placing labels
– Choose locations based on the “sequence of preferred locations”
Sequence of Preferred Locations
![Page 13: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
POINT FEATURE GUIDELINES• Do not allow map features to come
between a point symbol and its label– Place the label close to the symbol, even
if it means choosing a less preferred location
![Page 14: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
POINT FEATURE GUIDELINES• If the sequence of preferred locations
does not provide a suitable option– Consider using a mask, halo, or callout– Or use a simple leader line
Leader lines for point symbols should be very thin, not include an arrowhead, and point to the center of the point
symbol without actually touching it.
![Page 15: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
POINT FEATURE GUIDELINES• Multiple-line (stacked) labels should be
placed according to the sequence of preferred locations
– Individual lines of type should be horizontally aligned or centered
Emphasizes the association between the label and point symbol
![Page 16: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
POINT FEATURE GUIDELINES• Point symbols on land that are close to
coastlines– Should be labeled entirely on land
• Point symbols that touch coastlines – Should be labeled either entirely on land
or entirely on water (avoid overprinting)
![Page 17: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
POINT FEATURE GUIDELINES• The previous guidelines should be
followed as closely as possible– In practice, it is often impossible to adhere
to all guidelines simultaneously
Well-Placed Labels
Poorly-Placed Labels
![Page 18: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
POINT FEATURE GUIDELINES• Do not exaggerate letter or word
spacing when labeling point features– Exaggerated spacing weakens the
association between symbol and label
Inappropriate Spacing
Appropriate Spacing
![Page 19: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
SPECIFIC TYPOGRAPHIC GUIDELINES:
Linear Features
![Page 20: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
LINEAR FEATURE GUIDELINES• Place labels above linear features
close to, but not touching them– Descenders (lower extensions of g, y,
etc.) should just clear the line symbol – Type is placed above linear features
An exception to placing type above line
![Page 21: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
LINEAR FEATURE GUIDELINES• When labeling linear features that have
complex curves, follow the general trend of the feature
– Type that curves too much is difficult to read
![Page 22: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
LINEAR FEATURE GUIDELINES• Very long linear features can be
labeled more than once – Multiple labels are preferred to
exaggerated letter and word spacing
![Page 23: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
LINEAR FEATURE GUIDELINES• Labels should be placed upright
– Labels should read from left to right– Type that is absolutely vertical should be
readable from the right side of the page
![Page 24: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
SPECIFIC TYPOGRAPHIC GUIDELINES:Areal Features
![Page 25: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
AREAL FEATURE GUIDELINES• If areal features are large enough to
contain a label, visually center the label within the feature
– Follow the general trend of areal features that have complex curves
– Use all-uppercase type when labeling areal features
![Page 26: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
AREAL FEATURE GUIDELINES• Exaggerated letter and word spacing
can be used to emphasize areal extent– Works best with all-uppercase type– Lowercase type tends to look disjointed
when exaggerated spacing is applied
Inappropriate SpacingAppropriate Spacing
![Page 27: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
AREAL FEATURE GUIDELINES• Leading can also be exaggerated to
emphasize areal extent– Leading should not be so great that the
relationship between lines of type is lost
![Page 28: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
AREAL FEATURE GUIDELINES• Linear features represented as areas
should be labeled as areal features
![Page 29: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
AREAL FEATURE GUIDELINES• Areal features that are too small to
contain a label should be labeled as point symbols
– Refer to guidelines for point symbols– Other options are available…
![Page 30: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
AREAL FEATURE GUIDELINES• Leader lines can be used with areal
features
Leader lines for areal symbols should be very thin, not include an arrowhead, and enter the symbol to a certain extent.
![Page 31: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
LABELING SMALL AREAS
Treat as a point symbol
Overprint, but use a halo
Reduce character spacing
Use “narrow” style typeface
Abbreviate
Reduce type size
Treat as point symbol,w/ areal leader line
Be consistent with your approach!
![Page 32: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
AUTOMATEDTYPE PLACEMENT
(Labeling)
![Page 33: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
AUTO. TYPE PLACEMENT• Labeling software has been developed
for automatically positioning type, often within the context of a GIS
– Places labels for map features as opposed to positioning map elements composed of type, such as the title
– Employs cartographic expert systems, which make decisions based on rules and guidelines obtained from cartographic experts
![Page 34: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
AUTO. TYPE PLACEMENT• The biggest advantage of labeling
software is its ability to save time– Manual type placement is one of the most
time-consuming aspects of cartography
• Problems with labeling software– Time is required to “train” the software– Optimal solutions are computer-intensive – The finished product normally requires
substantial interactive editing
![Page 35: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
AUTO. TYPE PLACEMENT• Examples of labeling software
– Standard labeling engine in ArcMap– Maplex (standalone) and Maplex for
ArcGIS (extension)– Label-EZ (standalone)
![Page 36: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
LABELINGwith the
STANDARD ArcGIS LABELING ENGINE
![Page 37: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
STANDARD LABELING• ArcMap places labels automatically
according to a series of rules
• Labels cannot be selected
• Labels cannot be individually edited– For content or style
• Labels and label placement can change dynamically when panning and zooming
![Page 38: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
STANDARD LABELING• Labels do not scale in unison with
changes in map scale…
![Page 39: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
STANDARD LABELING• Unless you set a reference scale
– “The scale at which 12 pt type is 12 pt”
![Page 40: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
STANDARD LABELING• Setting a reference scale makes labels
sensitive to scale changes
![Page 41: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
STANDARD LABELING• General procedure
– Turn on labels– Open the Labeling toolbar– Open the Label Manager

ANNOTATION• An alternate form of type
• Unlike labels, annotation can be– Selected– Individually edited for content and style
• Unlike labels, annotation does not– Move dynamically when panning and
zooming
• Labels can be converted to annotation– For fine tuning after automated labeling

ANNOTATION• Converting labels to annotation
![Page 64: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
ANNOTATION• Can be stored in the map (ArcMap
document, or *.mxd)– Good for small amounts of text that only
need to be used in a single .mxd– “Map” annotation can be edited outside of
an edit session– Similar to graphics, or type added using
the New Text tool on the Drawing toolbar

ANNOTATION• Can be stored in a geodatabase (*.mdb,
*.gdb, etc.)– Good for large amounts of text that can be
used in multiple ArcMap documents– “Geodatabase” annotation requires that
you be in an editing session to alter– Annotation appears as a layer in the TOC
![Page 66: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
ANNOTATION• Select geodatabase annotation and
delete (focus Data Frame first…)

ANNOTATION• Use the Editor toolbar, together with the
Annotation Attributes dialog box (for geodatabase anno.)

ANNOTATION• Hydro features are manually positioned
– Maplex also offers automated options

ANNOTATION• Typographical problems still remain…
– How much time do you have?

TIPS FOR LABELING AREAS
![Page 71: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
• Default labeling style
LABELING AREAS
![Page 72: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
LABELING AREAS• Convert to upper case
UCase([STATE_NAME])
![Page 73: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
LABELING AREAS• Exaggerate letter/word spacing
![Page 74: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
LABELING AREAS• Screen back (it’s base information)
(Water labels should be
100% Cyan)
![Page 75: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
TIPS FOR FILTERING LABELS
![Page 76: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
• Use VBScript in label expression– To show only certain labels
FILTERING LABELS
Function FindLabel ([CNTRYNAME]) if ([CNTRYNAME] = "France" OR [CNTRYNAME] = "Italy") then FindLabel = Ucase([CNTRYNAME]) end ifEnd Function
![Page 77: ADVANCED TYPOGRAPHY Cartographic Design for GIS (Geog. 340) Prof. Hugh Howard American River College.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/56649eac5503460f94bb3368/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
• Use VBScript in label expression– To hide certain labels
FILTERING LABELS
Function FindLabel ([CNTRYNAME]) if ([CNTRYNAME] <> "France") then FindLabel = Ucase([CNTRYNAME]) end ifEnd Function
