When creating maps, it is often important to use similar techniques to guide a user’s attention to the focus area of a map, while making the contextual information more “out of focus”.<\/p>\n

One way this type of visual hierarchy can be achieved in mapmaking is by isolating and enclosing the area of interest using a buffer or vignette and masking or darkening the background.<\/p>\n

A good example of the need for some ‘selective focus<\/em>‘\u00a0came about recently as the Africa GeoPortal<\/a>\u00a0was about to be launched.<\/p>\n

The web maps initially display at small scale. To help focus on the continent of Africa, we quickly created a buffered mask in ArcGIS Pro, produced and uploaded a vector tile package, then published it as a tile layer. Finally, the buffered mask was added to many of the Africa Living Atlas web maps.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":278752,"id":278752,"title":"SelFocus03","filename":"SelFocus03.png","filesize":302233,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/creating-selective-focus-in-your-map\/selfocus03","alt":"map pf Africa and surrounding continents","author":"3881","description":"","caption":"","name":"selfocus03","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":278632,"date":"2018-07-13 20:03:11","modified":"2018-07-13 20:05:57","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":419,"height":238,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":121,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","medium-width":419,"medium-height":238,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","medium_large-width":419,"medium_large-height":238,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","large-width":419,"large-height":238,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","1536x1536-width":419,"1536x1536-height":238,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","2048x2048-width":419,"2048x2048-height":238,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","card_image-width":419,"card_image-height":238,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus03.png","wide_image-width":419,"wide_image-height":238}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":278742,"id":278742,"title":"SelFocus04","filename":"SelFocus04.png","filesize":11000,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-pro\/mapping\/creating-selective-focus-in-your-map\/selfocus04","alt":"map of african continent only","author":"3881","description":"","caption":"","name":"selfocus04","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":278632,"date":"2018-07-13 20:03:05","modified":"2018-07-13 20:05:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":419,"height":238,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":121,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","medium-width":419,"medium-height":238,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","medium_large-width":419,"medium_large-height":238,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","large-width":419,"large-height":238,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","1536x1536-width":419,"1536x1536-height":238,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","2048x2048-width":419,"2048x2048-height":238,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","card_image-width":419,"card_image-height":238,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2018\/07\/SelFocus04.png","wide_image-width":419,"wide_image-height":238}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

In addition to creating some ‘selective focus’,<\/em>\u00a0we also get the added benefit of establishing a sense of cohesiveness between the various maps. The repeated use of the buffered mask reinforces the sense that we are looking at an atlas <\/em>and the subject of the atlas is Africa.<\/p>\n

The method for creating the mask is straightforward and can be used to highlight any area of interest in your<\/em> web maps or projects. Here are the steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a new ArcGIS Pro project.<\/li>\n
  2. Create or add a feature class of your area of interest (AOI).<\/li>\n
  3. Use the Multiple Ring Buffer<\/a> tool to buffer a distance around your AOI. You need to establish the distance and number of rings. For an AOI the size of the continent of Africa, a buffer distance extending 250 kilometers beyond the coastline was chosen and each ring of the buffer was determined to be 5 kilometers (resulting in 50 rings). A smaller AOI would require a smaller ring size\/number of rings and a smaller overall buffer distance. Ensure that Outside Polygons Only<\/strong> is checked on so that the resulting feature class includes only the ringed buffer, not the AOI.
    \n\"multiple<\/li>\n
  4. Once the distance is established and the Multiple Ring Buffer tool completes, the AOI is buffered again using the Buffer<\/a> tool. The distance should be the same as the final distance from the multiple ring buffer. Side Type<\/strong> is set to full to include the AOI with the buffer. The resulting feature class will be used solely as the erase feature for step 5.
    \n<\/li>\n
  5. Using the buffered feature class from the previous step, run the Erase<\/a> tool. The buffered feature class should be the erase feature, while the input feature should be a simple polygonal feature class that covers the world. If you need a feature class that covers the global extent of the ArcGIS Online basemaps, you can access it here<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. The newly erased feature class and the Multiple Ring Buffered AOI feature class can now be symbolized. Give the erased feature class a single symbol RGB value of 0,0,0 (Hex #000000) with a 20% transparency.<\/li>\n
  7. Change the buffered feature class’ Symbology<\/strong> to Unique Values and add all values. Highlight all values, format to remove outlines’ and change the color scheme type to ‘Continuous’ black with varying levels of transparency 99% – 20%. To use the buffered mask on lighter basemap styles, you can use the same scheme, then change the colors to white.
    \n\"symbology
    \n\"color
    \nAlternatively, you can     download<\/a> the continuous black color scheme style (STYLX) created for the Africa GeoPortal. To add it to your ArcGIS Pro project,\u00a0 click the Insert<\/strong> tab on the ribbon, then select\u00a0Add Style<\/strong> from the Add<\/strong> drop-down menu.
    \n\"ArcGIS<\/li>\n
  8. Once the symbology is established, create a group layer of the two feature classes. On the Metadata pane within the Map Properties, provide a title, tags, summary and a description for your map. Remove any extraneous content from the project.<\/li>\n
  9. Run the\u00a0Create Vector Tile Index<\/a> tool.
    \n\"create<\/li>\n
  10. Run the\u00a0Create Vector Tile Package<\/a> tool.
    \n\"create<\/li>\n
  11. Run the\u00a0Share Package<\/a> tool.
    \n\"share<\/li>\n
  12. Log into your ArcGIS account. The vector tile package is an item in your Content. Publish the vector tile layer by clicking\u00a0 Publish<\/strong>\u00a0on the vector tile package item page.
    \n\"vector<\/li>\n
  13. Open the tile layer in a new map.
    \n\"tile<\/li>\n
  14. The tile layer appears above the basemap. Select your basemap, add any additional thematic data above or in between the mask and basemap, and Save as a web map<\/strong>.
