symbol level drawing
[ESRI software] In ArcGIS, a setting that determines the drawing order of features based on their symbol.
The palettes allow you to choose from a variety of polygon fill patterns, line patterns, point symbols, text fonts, and colors to represent theme features.

Symbol Basics
In general, data depicted on maps, and in fact maps themselves, are symbolic representations of geographic phenomena and the Earth's surface on a sheet of paper, or on a computer monitor.
Symbolic Use of Colors in Flags
Very often, the colors used in a flag represent the values of that country (or other entity).
BLACK
Black often represents determination, ethnic heritage, and/or defeating one's enemies.

Temporal Symbology
Temporal, or time-based, symbology lets you alter the display of data based on age, showing time progression.
Click OK to set the symbology.
To set custom colors for your raster layer, re-open the layer properties and change the Color map to 'Colormap'. This will make the Colormap tab available.
Symbolization
As with scale, symbolization is a representation on paper. A problem with symbolization is that it changes between maps of different scales. On a small-scale map, cities may be point data represented by dots.
Symbols
The meaning of each symbol used in a map is described in its legend. However, many symbols in topographic maps have become conventional and we interpret it even without looking at the legend.
Symbology is the set of rules which relatre to how that symbol is used - eg
an anchor which is up-side down means a ship wreck
a blue achor means it is a safe place to more a boat
a red anchor means it is not a safe place to more a boat etc.
Symbols
The Statue of Britannia in Plymouth.
The flag of the United Kingdom is the Union Flag commonly known as the "Union Jack".
line symbol
A symbol for drawing coverage arcs.
link
A coverage feature class; links are two-point segments that represent from- and to-locations for the rubber sheeting adjustment process.
Chart symbol (a bar or pie chart is used to represent the value of several different attribute fields at once)
Chart symbols are good for comparing a number of attributes at the same time.
[edit] Symbol to digital conversion
Since symbols (for example, alphanumeric characters) are not continuous, representing symbols digitally is rather simpler than conversion of continuous or analog information to digital.
marker symbol A symbol used to represent a point location such as an airport.
symbolization to represent the different classes of features chosen

SYMBOL
A graphic representation of a concept that has meaning in a specific context. It is used in cartography to show the presence of ENTITIES such as churches, post offices, and public houses.

Alter the symbology properties of your parks layer to map the parks according to the categories in the FCC field, page 140. An FCC code of D83 signifies a National Park, D89 signifies a Local Park.
A visible symbol guided by a keyboard, joystick, tracking ball, or digitizer, usually in the form of a cross or blinking symbol, that indicates a position on a computer screen.
presentation of symbology on the 3-D surface; and
line of sight perspective views from user defined viewpoints.
The three large symbols on the ordinate are from the rock materials beneath the veneer. No sulphur is present, indicating its absence in the basalt.
Font A logical set of related patterns representing text characters or point symbology (e.g., A,B,C). A font pattern is the basic building block for markers and text symbols.
15 the characteristics of a symbol system that can be manipulated to encode information (also called 'visual variables', graphic dimensions, etc.). For cartography, these include size, shape, hue, saturation, brightness, orientation and pattern.

These relationships allow someone to use attributes stored in a related object to symbolize, label, or query a feature class.

The time-multiplexed BOC (TMBOC) method: the whole signal is divided into blocks of N code symbols with M (Less thanN) code symbols sine-BOC(l,l)-modulated5 while N-Mcode symbols are sine-BOC(6,l)-modulated.
The symbol on a screen that shows where the next input activity will take place is the normal reaction.
The computational schema of the MLP network is symbolized by the connections and the nodes. Each connection has an individual coefficient called weight. Assuming, that the weights are known the output is computed in the following way.
Cartography studies the representation of the Earth's surface with abstract symbols. It can be said, without much controversy, that cartography is the seed from which the larger field of Geography grew.
Operational staff are people such as [1] cartographers, who monitor the design of map displays, the standards for map symbols and standard map series [2] data capturers, who converts map into digital form and [3] potential users who use the GIS.
The user enters specifications such as location, thematic layers and symbols on the form. The form is passed to the web server. A gateway at the web server passes the request to a GIS server.
Now it is time to correct or shrink the symbols. The following steps will physically change your vector data, so you may want to save the data to a file before you proceed.
Digital maps derived through spatial modeling are inherently different from traditional analog maps, composed of inked lines, shading and graphic symbols used to identify the precise placement of physical features.
Now you will change the sold color symbol to the dot symbol we used for each race in the previous map. Double click on the Hispanic.shp color symbol to bring up the "Legend Editor." Change the "Legend Type" to Dot.

Traditional maps are abstractions of the real world, a sampling of important elements portrayed on a sheet of paper with symbols to represent physical objects. People who use maps must interpret these symbols.

NRCS soil map symbols are not normally carried within the DLG-3 file; however, these map symbols are made available as a unique ASCII file when NRCS soils data are distributed in the DLG-3 format. STATSGO data are also available in ArcInfo 7.
Libraries contain frequently used symbols, subroutines, and commands. Rather than recreating a symbol everytime it is required, a user can call the symbol from a library using a unique identification code.
The map compilation procedure consists of the accurate transfer of map unit boundaries, symbols, drainage, and cultural features from the field sheets to orthophoto base map overlays.
To do so, click the "Symbology" tab (under the shapefile's "Properties" menu) and select "Elevation". Select an appropriate color ramp.
Much like the symbology on a topographic map, vector data tend to be more generalized (i.e., most ground features are distinguishable using raster data, while the vector data, only selected, cartographically significant information may be shown).
Legend - The description of the symbology representing features on a map.
Map - A graphic representation of geographically distributed phenomena. The information displayed may be in the form of symbols or signs.
width is the width in inches of the color symbol (for areas) in front of the legend text. The default is 1/24 * fontsize inches. cols is the number of columns to split the legend into. The default is one column.
Data A general term used to denote any or all facts, numbers, letters, and symbols that refer to or describe an object, idea, condition, situation, or other factors. These may be line graphics, imagery, and/or alphanumerics.
