Making a Layout
26. Switch to Layout View. Make a layout with the pie charts, a title, the legend, your name,
and the top portion of the attribute table. You can reposition the charts with the pan tool on
the Tools toolbar. The Insert menu works to get you the legend, the title, and text for your
name. To get the table onto the layout: On the Attributes Of Classify_This window, select
Options > Add Table to Layout. Print the layout. Close ArcMap.
Exercise 6-3 (Short Project)
Comparing Data Sets: Medically Underserved Areas
(MUAs) and Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs)
The U.S. Government's Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has two (of several)
databases that relate to areas that do not have sufficient medical resources to meet the needs of
the people in those areas. The databases relate to Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs) and Health
Professional Shortage Areas (HPSAs). Information about them, and a lot of other interesting data, may be
found at the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration ( www.hrsa.gov) .
Since each of these two databases deals with areas that have something in common, it would be
interesting to contrast them.
1. Start ArcCatalog. Type Ctrl-F to bring up the Search window. Select Local Search. In the Search
Option drop-down menu select Search Options. Under the Index tab press Add and Register the
folders:
___IGIS-Arc
___IGIS-Arc_AUX
Press Re-index from Scratch. This process will take a minute or two. Follow the progress
(Indexing Status) in the lower pane of the window.
Once indexing is complete (Status Active), search for HRSA_Geography, which is a Personal
Geodatabase. When it is found click the third line (it is green) to display the name in the
Catalog Tree. In what folder is the geodatabase? ________________________________.
In the geodatabase you will find four PGDB feature classes. (By the way, note that this is a
case in which feature classes exist directly within a geodatabase (called “freestanding), without
an intervening feature dataset.) Name them:
