Abstract
This dataset was created within the Bioregional Assessment Programme for cartographic purposes. Data has not been derived from any source datasets. Metadata has been compiled by the Bioregional Assessment Programme.
The dataset was created by the Bioregional Assessment Programme for use in cartographic outputs in Gippsland Basin bioregion product 1.1.2. The processes undertaken to produce this dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.
Purpose
Cartographic masks for map products GIP 112, used for clear annotation and masking unwanted features from report maps.
Dataset History
A shapefile was created for the use of masking data to highlight text.
Method:
* A new polygon shapefile was created with no content
* The shapefile was then populated in an ArcMap editing session by digitizing polygons which surround text.
* ArcMAP's Advanced Drawing Option was then used to mask data behind text.
