Thereafter, the firefly styles will be available in the project via the Symbology panel&#8217;s Gallery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/SymbolGallery.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101900 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/SymbolGallery.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"414\" height=\"1006\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So many possibilities. But where to start?<\/p>\n<h2>Points<\/h2>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a look at the standard Firefly point symbol, in this case showing, obviously, Taco Bell locations scaled by revenue&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Firefly.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101901 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Firefly.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1507\" height=\"824\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But sometimes you want to turn your Firefly point features up to eleven. I&#8217;ve got you covered. There is an alternative version with a twinkly lens flare shimmer sort of thing going on. Like in this map of luminescent earthquakes&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyShimmer.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101902 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyShimmer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1507\" height=\"824\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Lines<\/h2>\n<p>Firefly has two line styles. But, again, you can totally play with the Symbol settings to teach it whatever tricks you need. Here is the standard, solid, line illustrated in this map of glowtastic graticules&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyLine.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101903 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyLine.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1507\" height=\"824\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But sometimes you just need a dashed line. So here is an example of the dashed Firefly line style applied to contour lines in the Pacific Northwest&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyLineDash.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101904 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyLineDash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1507\" height=\"824\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Polygons<\/h2>\n<p>Here is a look at the Firefly polygon style. It is a glowing boundary with a faint fill, applied to these Mediterranean bathymetric zones, submitted for your approval&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyPoly.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101905 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyPoly.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1507\" height=\"824\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But when you have adjacent polygons, which is often the case with human geography data, the glowing edges of the Firefly polygons can bleed into, or overlap, each other and sort of make a mess. So here is an alternate version of the polygon fill with only an <em>inner<\/em> glow, as evidenced by these hexbins of aggregated Chipotle locations&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyPolyInner.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101906 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyPolyInner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1507\" height=\"824\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Basemaps<\/h2>\n<p>Ah, basemaps. When it comes to Firefly cartography, the basemap is a big player. A firefly basemap ought to be dark and nearly devoid of color. Conveniently, we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/livingatlas.arcgis.com\/en\/browse\/#s=0&amp;q=firefly&amp;md=basemap:111\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firefly global image service<\/a> that you can use as a basemap. If that&#8217;s too busy, then I recommend Dark Gray Canvas vector tiles as an alternate.<\/p>\n<h2>Thematics<\/h2>\n<p>Just because there is a spectral set of colors available, please don&#8217;t use all of them in a thematic map. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mathworks.com\/tagteam\/81137_92238v00_RainbowColorMap_57312.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rainbow color scheme has lots of problems<\/a> for perception in scientific visualizations. I recommend using <strong>up to 6<\/strong> consecutive firefly colors if you are putting together a classed thematic map. Any more than that and you start to span into another dominant hue and perception diminishes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ColorThematic.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101908 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ColorThematic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1507\" height=\"825\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you need contrasting colors, the colors opposite each other on this wheel tend to be differentiated well. Of course be <a href=\"https:\/\/knightlab.northwestern.edu\/2016\/07\/18\/three-tools-to-help-you-make-colorblind-friendly-graphics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">careful<\/a> to avoid colors that are particularly problematic for those with color-deficient vision.<\/p>\n<h2>No Color<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t want a color but still want a glowy Firefly map? No worries; there is a non-colorized version of each symbol, just look at this map of top college football prospects, scaled by player size&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyShimmerWhite.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-101910 noIMGBackground aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/FireflyShimmerWhite.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1507\" height=\"824\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Happy Firefly Mapping! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/John_M_Nelson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John<\/a><\/p>\n"}],"related_articles":"","card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Banner_FireflyStyle.jpg","wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Firefly_Banner.jpg","authors":[{"ID":6971,"user_firstname":"John","user_lastname":"Nelson","nickname":"John Nelson","user_nicename":"j_nelson","display_name":"John Nelson","user_email":"John_Nelson@esri.com","user_url":"http:\/\/www.adventuresinmapping.com","user_registered":"2018-03-02 00:19:05","user_description":"I have far too much fun looking for ways to understand and present data visually, hopefully driving product strategy and engaging users.

I work in the ArcGIS Living Atlas team at Esri, pushing and pulling data in all sorts of absurd ways and then sharing the process. I also design user experiences for maps and apps. When I'm not doing those things, I'm chasing around toddlers and wrangling chickens, and generally getting into other ad-hoc adventures. Life is good.
