Verwendung

• Displaying points as different colors based on the values of a numeric attribute is an example of a graduated colormap. This kind of map is most useful for showing data that is ranked (such as 1 to 10 or low to high) or has some kind of numerical progression (such as measurements, counts, rates, or percentages) since colors don't necessarily imply a magnitude.

Syntax

SymbolizeByNumericField_ba (InputFeatureLayer, Field, ClassificationSchemeParameterName, {NameField}, {UseSelectedFeatures}, {ColorSchemeParameterName})

Parameter	Erläuterung	Datentyp
InputFeatureLayer	The input feature layer.	Feature Layer
Field	The attribute field used to define the thematic map.	Field
ClassificationSchemeParameterName	The classification methods to thematically map your input feature class. Natural Breaks —Uses natural breaks classification to produce a thematic map. Std Deviation —Uses standard deviation classification method to produce a thematic map. Equal Interval —Uses equal interval classification method to produce a thematic map. Quantile —Uses quantile classification method to produce a thematic map.	String
