Step-by-Step Guide: Creating Strip Charts in ArcGIS

Follow these detailed steps to create geospatial strip charts in ArcGIS

1

Prepare Geospatial Data

ArcGIS Data Preparation

Prepare your geospatial data with temporal components. Ensure data includes location coordinates, time stamps, and attribute values for strip chart visualization.

  • Import spatial data (shapefiles, geodatabases)
  • Add temporal attributes
  • Ensure proper coordinate system
  • Organize data by time periods
2

Create Time Series Data

Time Series Creation in ArcGIS

Use ArcGIS tools to create time series datasets from your geospatial data, organizing temporal information for strip chart analysis.

  • Use Time Series tools
  • Create temporal attributes
  • Set up time intervals
  • Organize data chronologically
3

Configure Strip Chart Visualization

Strip Chart Configuration in ArcGIS

Configure the strip chart visualization using ArcGIS charting tools, setting up axes, scales, and display properties for geospatial data.

  • Access Chart tools in ArcGIS
  • Select time series data
  • Configure chart properties
  • Set up axes and scales
4

Add Spatial Context

Spatial Context Integration

Integrate spatial context with your strip chart by linking geographic features to temporal data and adding map layers for comprehensive analysis.

  • Link chart to map features
  • Add geographic context layers
  • Configure spatial queries
  • Set up interactive features
5

Publish and Share Results

Publishing ArcGIS Strip Charts

Publish your strip chart visualization to ArcGIS Online or Portal for sharing with stakeholders and integration into web applications.

  • Publish to ArcGIS Online
  • Create web applications
  • Configure sharing settings
  • Set up access controls
