Subject: RE: [gislist] Simple question (hopefully)
Date:  10/01/2004 11:15:01 AM
From:  Chidlaw, Phil




Matt, this can be accomplished by using the legend Description option.=20
If applying a single symbol to the layer, then click the Description
button on the Symbology tab under Layer Properties. A dialog box opens
allowing a multi-line text string if you type ctrl+enter.

If applying multiple symbols to the layer through either the Categories
or Quantities symbolization mode, you can get at individual symbol
Description through each symbol's context menu on the Symbology tab
under Layer Properties. You must right-click on each symbol-value and
choose Edit Description from the context menu, using ctrl+enter for
multi-lines.

The legend item Descriptions are then enabled from the legend
Properties.

That symbol context menu contains some other options worth knowing, such
as the ability to create additional legend headings and move selected
symbols under those headings.

Fellow list folk,

I'm using ArcGIS 8.3 at work, and I'm wondering if anyone out there has=20
found a way to force a <CR> in legend items. In other words, is there=20
any way to have a legend label print on two or more lines rather than=20
just one?

Mile grazie,

Matt
