Restandardizing Summary Products #180
Comments
I think this one, in terms of a perennial network, simplifies the spatial reference a bit, but isn't too complex when it comes to trying to produce a bunch of maps. I have more to share, but I think this is the most refined and simplistic one. Any thoughts? @CHafen |
@wally-mac Here is the Github issue I made last week. Here are some examples. I also have a few more Ideas for the charts, and so does @CHafen. |
I'm adding @joewheaton to the conversation. Joe do you have any input at this point? Thanks! |
Hi @CHafen and @Albonicomt. I like the initiative you're taking here. This looks great. A few thoughts:
|
Here are some examples I came up with on Friday, but didn't get them up until now, so I have not yet incorporated @joewheaton comments. A few things to note: • Labeling by hand is time intensive. Even without adding the other context labels Joe suggested it took about 3x longer to make these maps than the summary products we were producing. Though if we’re making several maps in the same area (ex. All RCAT and BRAT outputs) I only have to make the layout once per area |
@CHafen, These are awesome! I really like the context layers displayed in all four of the maps (Roads, lakes, borders, and cities), although, I do see what you mean about the increased time it takes to create them. And I especially like the bar graphs, with the cross hatching for area that display full and Perennial networks. I also think the background imagery in maps 1 and 4 looks better than just the white in maps 2 and 3. Thoughts? Given that it takes a bit longer to make these types of maps, as @CHafen mentions above. @joewheaton and @wally-mac, what do you guys think is a good goal to shoot for when it comes to making these maps look good and keeping them simple enough, so we can produce a bunch of summary products for different areas? The old maps use that base Reference layer, that already has some context, which quickens the process up a bit, but that base reference layer, depending on scale, displays some weird references and can look a bit faded. As I mentioned above, I really like @CHafen 's "context layer," and think it could be well worth the time for better and cleaner references. |
@CHafen, these look great! I think it is well worth the added time it takes to generate them. |
@joewheaton @wally-mac and @CHafen Here are some attempts at combing the bar chart with the Legend for (1.RVD 2.Existing cap 3. RCA) |
Those look really good to me.

@kbartelt, I'm adding you to this ticket because per a conversation that @joewheaton and I had this morning he is going have you get "up-to-speed" on the lab's cartographic standard. This ticket addresses some current refinements to that standard. In the coming weeks, Chalese and Mic are going to continue to develop this standard and per Joe and I's conversation Joe would like you to be engaged in this process. |
This is similar to #188. I'm going to respond to a few specifics below... |
I agree with @CHafen that:
However, what you did below really works well.
|
I AGREE! These look fantastic for the examples where we decide to include the perrenial vs. intermittent and just vary the lineweight!
Good point. Understood and helpful for us to bare in mind in budgeting.
Understood, but they are far more useful than pie charts! Lets reserve them just for the summary products (not for the full atlas)
I really like having this choice of clean and simplified basemap (greyscale) with nothing more than hillshade on area of interest, and the aerial imagery for others. Very nice. |
@CHafen and I are working together to create a new standard for Summary Products. We are hoping to create something that improves upon the old Summary Product standard shown below:
We want to create something that keeps the summary product simple but easy to distinguish the spatial reference and displays the output summary well. Please share your input as @CHafen and I upload some sample maps over the next few days.
