In real projects, to optimize a map, you may need a combination of methods and operations. Here summarizes the main methods that will be used.
Data Processing:
- If you have a dataset with a large number of very small line segments that may affect the display efficiency, it is recommended you use Dissolve to process the data first.
Map Display:
- Enable anti-aliasing for texts and lines.
- Set the min and max visible scale for layers, and set a proper scale to display each layer. You can use the Mapping by Scale function to set the scales in a batch.
Other:
- You can also divide the features into different datasets for displaying in different layers.
- You may display or not display the same dataset at different scales with different styles. For example, for a line dataset for highways, you can display it in single lines at a small scale, or as double lines at a large scale.
