I am trying to create a choropleth of population density in NYC. For some reason the color I am trying to use is being covered by all the gray. I have attached a pdf of my layout. It is the map in the middle of the bottom row. </P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Dec 2014 17:42:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/gis-beginner-question/m-p/32747#M396 SpiroKorizis 2014-12-03T17:42:38Z Re: GIS beginner question https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/gis-beginner-question/m-p/32748#M397 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I figured out how to get rid of the gray, but it still doesn't look right.

Transparency is at 0% and "scale symbols when a reference scale is set" is checked. Display expression is "CB2000." Still doesn't look right.

I manually changed to ten classifications, with intervals of approximately 5000. It still doesn't look perfect, but the color shows a lot better.</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 12 Dec 2014 00:14:56 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/gis-beginner-question/m-p/32751#M400 SpiroKorizis 2014-12-12T00:14:56Z
