Assignment

PrintPrint

This week's assignment is rather open ended.  I'd like you to do the following:

  1. Find a vector data service that interests you either on ArcGIS Online or on an ArcGIS Server instance,
  2. Display the data from this service using a ClassBreaksRenderer, UniqueValueRenderer, or through the use of visual variables,
  3. Configure popups (programmatically) to display information from the service's attribute table.

If you're having trouble deciding on what to map, you can search for your favorite topic on Esri's Living Atlas of the World. Go to Browse, restrict the search to layers and I'd recommend checking "Esri-only content" for better results. You can also search for a particular topic in the search bar. Then look for anything of interest that is a Feature Service. The renderers you'll need to use won't work with other layer types.

Once you've found something, take a look at it's attribute table to make sure it has a field suitable for one of the renderers.
