Cartographic masks for map products GIP 120 v02

Abstract

This dataset and its metadata statement were developed for the Bioregional Assessment Programme and are presented here as originally supplied.

The dataset was created by the Bioregional Assessment Programme for use in cartographic outputs in Gippsland Basin bioregion product 1.2. The processes undertaken to produce this dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This dataset has been superseded by Cartographic masks for map products GIP 120 v03.

Purpose

Cartographic masks for map products GIP_120, used for clear annotation and masking unwanted features from report maps.

Dataset History

Rectangular polygon shapefile masks were created around selected feature labels from the following datasets:

GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3, File Geodatabase format (.gdb) - GUID: 96ebf889-f726-4967-9964-714fb57d679b

Victoria Mining Licences - 13 May 2015 - GUID: c9c1dff4-01c7-4669-a033-d8a9f674cd5a

A shapefile was created for the use of masking data to highlight text.

Method:

* A new polygon shapefile was created with no content

* The shapefile was then populated in an ArcMap editing session by digitizing polygons which surround text.

* ArcMAP's Advanced Drawing Option was then used to mask data behind text.
