Symbolizing Trees in ArcGIS: Assigning Each Species a Different Symbol
…from the ESRI Mapping Center blog…
“Tree symbols are a great way to enhance the appearance of a large scale, detailed map. To make attractive point symbols for trees, you need a good place to start from and thankfully all of us ArcGIS users have that. Using multi-layer character marker symbols, the variety of tree symbols you can create is endless. This blog is meant to introduce (or reintroduce) you to the ESRI US Forestry 2 font. It is also meant to give you some tips for creating a variety of tree symbols to use on your maps.
“The most important part of the process to understand is the Symbol Property Editor and the capabilities/functionalities that are available to you in this dialog. If you aren’t familiar with the Symbol Property Editor dialog, a good starting point to learn more about it is a previous Mapping Center blog post: Customizing Multi-Layer Symbols.”
