Sending chart items to the Map window
You can access Esri ArcGIS mapping directly from within Analyst's Notebook by sending chart items to the Map window.
About this task
Any chart item that you send to the Map window must have explicit or implied coordinates. There are different rules about how Esri can imply coordinates, depending on what kinds of chart items you send.
When an entity contains coordinates, Esri places it at that location in the Map window. Otherwise:
- If an entity contains an address rather than coordinates, then you can use the geocoding service to generate coordinates for that address before you send the entity to the map.
- If an entity contains no location information, but it is at the end of a link that does contain location information, then Esri assumes the entity location from the link data.
- If an entity and its links contain no location information, then when you drag that entity onto the map, Esri assigns coordinates at the location where you drop it. Esri places these coordinates in Lat/Long attributes.
When a link contains coordinates for its ends, then Esri draws the link between those two locations on the map, and places its ends at those locations. If a link does not contain coordinates for its ends, then Esri draws the link between the locations that its ends define.
If any rule results in multiple possible locations for an entity (or for the ends of a link), then Esri plots multiple entities or draws multiple links to resolve the ambiguity.
Procedure
Results
The mapped items are displayed in the Sent Items page of the Map Chart Items task pane.
The map pans to show the selected chart items in the Map window. The chart layer displays the name of the Analyst's Notebook chart, and the number of chart items from that chart that are mapped.
If a problem occurs when you send chart items to the Map window, a warning message is displayed in the Sent Items page. You can try the following resolutions:
- Select the warning in the Sent Items page. Selecting the warning highlights the corresponding chart item.
- If the warning message is too long, hover over it to display a tooltip of the whole message.
- Examine the location of an entity. Right-click the selected entity, and from the menu, select Edit Item Properties.
- Check the way that Analyst's Notebook Connector for Esri looks for location information in the Options page of the Map Chart Items task pane.
