A Collection of GIS Legends
for use with dbSEABED
Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research, 
University of Colorado at Boulder
 
These ESRI ArcView 3.x and ArcMap 9.+ legends have been made for use with dbSEABED point, polygon and grid coverages. Click on the URL to find a file and save it to your local folder. In dbSEABED, legends are usually held in the ..\_db9\_Legends folder.

Users of dbSEABED are encouraged to submit their own favourite legends to me by email to add to this collection. The set here is only a minimum. Legends for non-ESRI applicationsare also welcome. The set given here can be used as a basic structural set to make legends for other parameters.

Across the collaboration a common livery for maps would help good communication with visuals. Thus: gravel-red, sand-yellow, mud - green, silt - greens, clay - blues; rock - purple;  carbonate blues, terrigenous - brown. Uncertainty mappings are usually rendered in grey shades.

The file name codings like "Carbonate_pt20co" stand for:
  • Parameter (parameter_name)
  • Point, Grid, or Polygon data topologies (pt, gd, py)
  • Size of step in parameter value (e.g., 1, 20, N) (N stands for not regular)
  • Colour, or Size method of symbolizing (co, sz)
