Welcome to ArcReader 1••••• Viewing maps

••••• Exploring data

••••• Printing maps

••••• Tips on learning ArcReader

Welcome to ESRI® ArcReader™—a tool for using maps designed inArcMap™ and published with the ArcGIS® Publisher extension. This bookshows you how ArcReader can be used to view, explore, and print publishedmaps. With ArcReader, you can:

• View published maps

• Explore data

• Experience dynamic mapping

• Print maps

This chapter provides an introduction to ArcReader. Refer to Chapter 2,‘Quick-start tutorial’, to gain a quick understanding of how to useArcReader. Chapter 3, ‘ArcReader basics’, outlines how to use ArcReader.

2 USING ARCREADER

Viewing mapsSometimes just looking at a map will tell you what you want to know. Well-designed maps not only tell you where things are but alsowhat’s special about them. ArcReader displays maps as they appear in ArcMap, with the same high-end cartographic symbols and mapelements geographic information system (GIS) professionals are accustomed to.

Being able to share well-designed maps, such as these, greatlyincreases the map’s value.

WELCOME TO ARCREADER 3

Exploring dataMaps are not static displays; they’re interactive. You can browse a map—taking a closer look at a particular area—and point at featuresto find out more about them.

You can identify features to see their attributes.

4 USING ARCREADER

Printing mapsUse ArcReader to display published maps and print the maps as you see them. You can choose to print the full layout as it waspublished or zoom to a location and just print that portion of the map.

These maps can all be printed once they are opened in ArcReader.

WELCOME TO ARCREADER 5

If you’re new to GIS and maps, remember that you don’t have tolearn everything about ArcReader to get immediate results. Beginlearning ArcReader by working through Chapter 2, ‘Quick-starttutorial’. This chapter shows you how quickly and easilyArcReader lets you explore a map and obtain valuable informationfrom it. ArcReader comes with the map used in the tutorial, so youcan follow along step by step at your computer. You can also readthe tutorial without using your computer.

This book provides information about ArcReader. After goingthrough the quick-start tutorial, you can quickly learn the basicsof using the ArcReader extension by working through theexercises in Chapter 3, ‘ArcReader basics’.

Finding answers to questions

Like most people, your goal is to complete your tasks whileinvesting a minimum amount of time and effort on learning how touse software. You want intuitive, easy-to-use software that givesyou immediate results without having to read pages ofdocumentation.

QUICK-START TUTORIAL 9

ArcReader can open published map files (.pmf) that havebeen created in ArcMap using Publisher. These publishedmaps do not actually store the data shown on the map, butrather reference the data, which may be stored on a localdisk, on another computer, or on the Internet. The mapdocument stores map elements, such as titles, scalebars,and North arrows.

This particular map contains the following layers in a dataframe named Gulf of St. Lawrence:

Layers What layers contain

Links to Web Sites Internet addresses

Cities Locations of population centers

Major Roads Locations of expressways andprimary highways

Base Map Land and coastline layers

A data frame is a frame on the map that displays layers inthe same geographic area.

The map portrays the Gulf of St. Lawrence and thesurrounding region. Notice that there are check boxes nextto each layer name in the table of contents. All layers thatare checked are drawn in the map display area.

Moving around a map

The Data toolbar has tools to move around the map andquery features on the map. Point to each icon, withoutclicking, to see the name of each tool displayed in a ToolTip.This tutorial will use these names to refer to specificbuttons and tools. When you interact with the map, one ofthese tools will be active and the pointer will change to theactive tool when moved over the map.

This is an example of a .pmf—the Gulf of St. Lawrence.pmf.

ArcReader is capable of displaying a map in either Dataview or Layout view. Up to this point this tutorial has beenusing Data view. Data view shows the contents of a dataframe. Layout view shows the map as it would appear on aprinted page. Layout view also shows map elements thataren’t contained within the data frame, such as the maptitle, legend, scalebar, and North arrow.

1. Click the View tab and click Layout View.

The map displays in Layout view. Notice the pageincludes a title, legend, scalebars, and some supportingtext. Also displayed is the Layout toolbar, which containstools for navigating in Layout view. Point to each icon,without clicking, to see the name of each tool.

The Layout tools in the Layout toolbar are used like thetools in the Data toolbar. They allow you to change the waythe page is displayed. Notice that the data tools are stillaccessible for changing the view of the data within the dataframe.

There is a shortcut for switching between Data and Layoutview. In the scrollbar near the bottom of the map, there arethree small buttons. Clicking the globe icon switches toData view, clicking the page icon switches to Layout view,and clicking the arrow icon refreshes the map.

In this exercise, you learned various ways to view apublished map in ArcReader. In the next exercise, you willlearn how to query a map in ArcReader.

16 USING ARCREADER

A map in ArcReader typically contains more informationthan you initially see. For example, a feature may holdattribute information that is not labeled or displayed on themap. With ArcReader you can query that information oruse Map Tips to find a feature on the map.

Using Map Tips

The most readily accessible kind of map attributeinformation comes in the form of Map Tips. Map Tipscontain an attribute chosen by the map author that displayswhenever you hover any data tool over a feature on themap. Map Tips are only visible while in Data view.

1. Click the Data View button , located at the bottom-left part of the map.

2. Click any data tool and point to a road to see its name.

The Major Roads layer is the only layer in this map that hasMap Tips enabled. You can tell if Map Tips are enabled fora layer by right-clicking the layer name in the table ofcontents and clicking the General tab on the Propertiesdialog box.

Exercise 2: Querying a map

ArcReader basics 3In ArcReader you work with published maps. Maps help you visualizegeographic data by showing you where things are, telling you what theyare, and helping you understand why they are that way.

Published maps serve a variety of purposes. Some maps are interactive andmeant to be browsed, others are formatted for printing, and some arecreated for both purposes. Every map can have a unique look—includingboth its graphic layout and interface—tailored to those who will ultimatelyuse the map.

A published map is a graphical representation of geographic data. Geographic information on a map is displayed as layers, where eachlayer represents a particular type of feature, such as a stream, lake, highway, political boundary, or wildlife habitat. A layer doesn’t storethe actual geographic data; instead, it references data stored on a computer. Referencing data in this way allows the layers on a map toautomatically reflect the most up-to-date information in a GIS database.

The table of contents lists all the layers on the map and shows what the features in each layer represent. You can turn each layer on oroff by checking and unchecking the check box next to the layer. When the layer is on, it draws on the map. The order of layers withinthe table of contents is also important; the layers at the top draw on top of those below them.

The table of contents, data frames, and layers

An unchecked layer will notbe drawn in the display

window.

ARCREADER BASICS 31

Layers in the table of contents can be further organized into data frames. A data frame simply groups, in a separate frame, the layersthat are displayed together.

You may want to add more data frames when you want to compare layers side by side or create insets and overviews. When a map hasmore than one data frame, one of them is the active data frame. The active data frame is the one you’re currently working with. You canalways tell which data frame is active because it’s highlighted on the map with a hatched frame and its name is shown in bold text in thetable of contents. Of course, if a map has only one data frame, it’s always the active one.

Additional data frames displaylayers in separate frames on

the map.

Right-click the layer to zoomto it, find data in it, identify a

feature within it, or see itsproperties.

Layers are organized indata frames, similar to files

in a directory. The activedata frame name is

displayed in bold in thetable of contents.

32 USING ARCREADER

Using the table ofcontentsEvery map has a table ofcontents. The table of contentsshows you what layers the mapcontains and also how the mapsymbolizes the geographicfeatures in those layers.

Some maps display all the layersin one data frame. Others, suchas those with insets and over-views, have more than one dataframe. The table of contentsshows how the layers areorganized into data frames.

When viewing a map, you’ll usethe table of contents primarily toturn layers on and off.

Showing the table ofcontents

1. Click the View menu.

2. Click Table of Contents.

This command is used totoggle the table of contentson and off.

If the table of contents wasdisabled by the map’s author,it cannot be turned back on.

Turning a layer on or off

1. Check the box next to thelayer’s name in the table ofcontents.

The layer should appear onyour map. If you can’t see thelayer, it may be hidden byanother layer or may be set todisplay only at a particularscale.

The spinning globe on theArcReader status barindicates the map is drawing.

Tip

No table of contents?The map author may havepublished the map with the table ofcontents turned off. To find outwhat other functionality may havebeen disabled by the map’s author,look at the Map Properties dialogbox. Click the File menu and clickMap Properties.

Looking at a mapin Data view andLayout viewArcReader provides twodifferent ways to view a map:Data view and Layout view.Each view lets you look at andinteract with the map in aspecific way.

When you want to browsegeographic data on your map,choose Data view. Data viewdisplays the contents of a dataframe.

A data frame can be thought ofas a container that holds amap’s data. A map can have oneor many data frames. Data viewonly shows one data frame at atime. The displayed data frameis referred to as the active dataframe. This view also hides allthe map elements on the layout,such as titles, North arrows,and scalebars.

When you want to see theentire map page, use Layoutview. In Layout view, you’ll seea virtual page showing all themap elements and data frames.

Switching to Layout view

1. Click View and click LayoutView.

ArcReader shows the entirelayout.

Switching to Data view

1. Click View and point to DataView.

The checked data frame isthe active data frame.

2. Click a data frame.

The selected data frame willbecome the active view.

Tip

Not all maps have Dataview and Layout viewThe map author may create themap with only one view. To see ifboth views are available, use theMap Properties dialog box.

Moving around on the map

As you work with a map, you can easily change how you view the data it contains. When browsing a map, you might want to pan andzoom around the data to investigate different areas and features.

There are two sets of tools for navigating the map: those on the Data toolbar and those on the Layout toolbar. Data tools are used fornavigating the active data frame and layout tools are used to navigate the page. These tools are also available by clicking the Viewmenu or Tools menu.

Use the data tools to interact with the data displayed in the active data frame.

Use the layout tools to interact with the data frame and map elements on the page. There are two toolbars available for browsing themap in Layout view. One set of commands is for browsing the data within the data frame, and the other set is for browsing the dataframes and graphics on the layout page.

The following tasks outline how you can move around on the map using various tools.

attributeA characteristic of a map feature. Attributes of a river might include its name, length, average depth,and so on.

attribute tableInformation about features on a map, stored in rows and columns. Each row relates to a singlefeature, while each column contains the values for a single characteristic.

data frameA frame on the map that displays layers occupying the same geographic area. You may have one ormore data frames on your map depending on how you want to organize your data. For instance,one data frame might highlight a study area, and another might provide an overview of where thestudy area is.

data sourceAny geographic data, such as a coverage, shapefile, raster, or geodatabase.

Data viewAn all-purpose view for exploring, displaying, and querying geographic data. This view hides allmap elements, such as titles, North arrows, and scalebars. See also Layout view.

display unitsThe units—for example, feet, miles, meters, or kilometers—ArcReader uses to report measurements,dimensions of shapes, and distance tolerances and offsets.

featureA representation of a real-world object in a layer on a map.

56 USING ARCREADER

feature class1. A classification describing the format of geographic featuresand supporting data in a coverage. Coverage feature classes forrepresenting geographic features include point, arc, node,route system, route, section, polygon, and region. One or morecoverage features are used to model geographic features; forexample, arcs and nodes can be used to model linear features,such as street centerlines. The tic, annotation, link, and boundaryfeature classes provide supporting data for coverage datamanagement and viewing.

2. The conceptual representation of a geographic feature. Whenreferring to geographic features, feature classes include point,line, area, and surface. In a geodatabase, an object class thatstores features and has a field of type geometry.

fieldA column in a table. Each field contains the values for a singleattribute.

geodatabaseA geographic database that provides services for managinggeographic data. A geodatabase is hosted inside a relationaldatabase management system. A geodatabase contains featuredatasets.

graticuleA graphic representation on a map of the network of parallels andmeridians (latitude and longitude) that subdivide the earth’ssurface.

gridA geographic representation of the world as an array of equallysized square cells arranged in rows and columns. Each grid cell isreferenced by its geographic x,y location. See also raster.

group layerSeveral layers that appear and act like a single layer in the table ofcontents in ArcReader.

imageRepresents geographic features by dividing the world intodiscrete squares called cells. Examples include satellite and aerialphotographs, scanned documents, and building photographs. Seealso raster.

layerA collection of geographic features—such as rivers, lakes,counties, or cities—of a particular area or place for display on amap. A layer references geographic data stored in a data source,such as a coverage, and defines how to display it. You can createand manage layers as you would any other type of data in yourdatabase.

layoutThe design or arrangement of elements—such as geographicdata, North arrows, and scalebars—in a digital map display orprinted map.

Layout viewThe view for laying out your map. Layout view shows the virtualpage upon which you place and arrange geographic data and mapelements—such as titles, legends, and scalebars—for printing.See also Data view.

legendA list of symbols appearing on the map; includes a sample ofeach symbol and text describing which feature each symbolrepresents.

GLOSSARY 57

mapA graphical presentation of geographic information. It containsgeographic data along with other elements, such as a title, Northarrow, legend, and scalebar. You can interactively display andquery the geographic data on the map and also prepare aprintable map by arranging the map elements around the data in avisually pleasing manner.

map displayA graphic representation of the map on the computer screen.

map documentThe disk-based representation of a map. Map documents can beprinted or embedded into other documents. Map documents havea .mxd file extension.

map unitsThe units—for example, feet, miles, meters, or kilometers—inwhich the coordinates of spatial data are stored.

neatlineA border commonly drawn around geographic features, often toseparate them from other map elements.

North arrowA map element that shows how the map is oriented.

projectionA mathematical formula that transforms feature locations from theearth’s curved surface to a map’s flat surface. A projectedcoordinate system employs a projection to transform locationsexpressed as latitude and longitude values to x,y coordinates.Projections cause distortions in one or more of these spatialproperties: distance, area, shape, and direction.

rasterRepresents any data source that uses a grid structure to storegeographic information. See also grid and image.

scaleThe relationship between the dimensions of features on a mapand the geographic objects they represent on the earth, commonlyexpressed as a fraction or a ratio. A map scale of 1/100,000 or1:100,000 means that one unit of measure on the map equals100,000 of the same unit on the earth.

scalebarA map element that graphically shows a map’s scale.

shapefileA vector data storage format for storing the location, shape, andattributes of geographic features. A shapefile is stored in a folderand contains one feature class.

symbolA graphic representation of an individual feature or class offeatures that helps identify it and distinguish it from otherfeatures.

symbologyThe criteria used to determine symbols for the features in a layer.A characteristic of a feature may influence the size, color, andshape of the symbol used.
