Count, area, length, and percentages on the legend!
Count, area, length, and percentages on the legend!
Why does the ArcGIS assume that we need only to see the “count” of features? Why isn’t developed to offer two tab:
1. The first tab to contains a drop down list that offer:
· The area or count in the case of polygon layer (area: sum, max, min, average, ….)
· The length or count in the case of polyline layer (length: sum, max, min, average, ….)
· The count in the case of point layer
2. The second tab is for the percentage in which the (count, area or length) are proportioned to the total. Sometimes this might don’t make sense
As a user, I’m required all the time to present these values in the legend so that the “reader” can have an entire idea about the classification being presented.
Is that hard to be developed?

Count and percentage of each class in the legend!
I got known that in the ArcGIS 10.1 we will be able to type the count of the each class in the legend! It is a good idea if they try to automatically calculate the percentage of each class as well. This information is all the time required to have a full idea about the data!
The map gives the distribution of the data but the numbers give an impression about which class is high and low!
Is that possible?
Thank you in advance,

Jamal
