Symbolizing and Labeling

Symbolizing and Labeling Overview

You can symbolize your layer so that you have complete control of how the layer

displays on the map. The symbolize options vary based on the type of layer—point,
polygon, or line—you are modifying. With the Symbolize Layer dialog box, you can

make line changes, color changes, symbol changes, and font changes (for labels).
Tip Click the icon next to the layer name to quickly open the Symbolize Layer dialog

box.
