Description
The desired result is to display the map’s legend in three columns: symbol, description, count
Simple Results
Without any editing tricks, the feature class ‘Wells2026’ displays the count of each of six types of wells. By adding the count of each category, this count is appended to the end of the well’s description, resulting in a ragged legend.
Work-Around:
A simple editing trick is to add dots and spaces to each symbolized item in the map.
Problem
Each time the count increases (from 1 to two the three or four digits) the number of dots and spaces in the map’s legend needs to be edited to improve the alignment.
Desired
Revise the layout editing tool to enable legends to be displayed in three columns (symbol, description, count) in clean columns:
- Symbol is centered in its column
- Description is left justified in its column
- Count is right justified in its column
