ArcGIS/ArcPro visualization templates

Templates for visualizing clustered data with ESRI ArcMap/ArcPro.

Note: I am not a big fan of ESRI, but so far, the visualization of labels for tagmaps has only implemented in ArcGIS/ArcPro.

The *.mxd ArcMap and *.aprx ArcProject files contain prepared label expressions to visualize clustered tagmap data, which is customized to the output shapefiles produces by this Python package.

See additional information in the docs.

Additional data

The folder 00_Config contains default column mappings for CSV files, used in the tagmaps package.

The folder 01_Input contains a sample data file with pseudonymized Creative Commons Flickr images, which can be used to test the tagmaps package.

Notes for using *.mxd and *.aprx files

Fix missing data source:

1. Open these files and go to Layer Properties (Layers HImp, Other, Top10)
2. Under Tab Source, select "Set Data Source"
3. Point it to the output shapefile from the tagmaps python package (allTagCluster.shp)

Do not select "Repair Data Source", this will remove any prepared layer symbology.

Fix Regional settings:

The VBScript Label Expression are somewhat depend on the chosen locale (e.g. point or comma decimal separators). If you have problems with visualizing labels, select English as your local in Windows > Regional Settings and restart ArcPro.

From Basemap_World_ArcProV290.aprx onwards, this has been fixed and changing locales should not be necessary.

The label expression changed from:

"<ACP><BOL><FNT name='Arial' size='" &  5+[Weights]*0.18 & "'>" & [ImpTag] & "</FNT></BOL></ACP>"

(VBScript)

to

"<ACP><BOL><FNT name='Arial' size='" +  str(5 + (float([Weights].replace(",","."))) * 0.18) + "'>" + [ImpTag] + "</FNT></BOL></ACP>"

(Python)
