I have searched high and low and have not been able to find an answer to this question. I'm using graduated colors to symbolize some data points.

This is a great workaround and I will definitely use it but it also seems like these types of workaround occur too often in a sophisticated, expensive piece of software like ArcGIS. Why would they introduce an option to symbolize by size as well as colour if you can only offer a legend for one of those variables?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Jul 2015 16:54:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/mapping-using-both-graduated-colors-and-size-how/m-p/720843#M7779 DenisAgar 2015-07-08T16:54:23Z Re: Mapping using both Graduated Colors and size: how to show on legend? https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/mapping-using-both-graduated-colors-and-size-how/m-p/720844#M7780 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I agree with you, that it would be far more elegant to reflect in the legend what is shown in the map without the need to do all sorts of extra stuff...</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 08 Jul 2015 18:23:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/mapping-questions/mapping-using-both-graduated-colors-and-size-how/m-p/720844#M7780 XanderBakker 2015-07-08T18:23:23Z
