Cartographic masks for map products COO 230

Abstract

This dataset was derived by the Bioregional Assessment Programme. The parent dataset is identified in the Lineage field in this metadata statement. The processes undertaken to produce this derived dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement.

This dataset contains cartographic mask polygon shapefiles for maps created in COO 230. These polygons are used for clear annotation and to mask-out unwanted features in report maps.

Dataset History

Polygon mask features were created using the 'Features Outline Masks (Cartography)' tool (ArcMap) on annotation layers in maps for product COO 2.3.

For this dataset, masks were created from the annotations created from the following layer (dataset):

  1. PopulatedPlaces Feature Class from the "GEODATA TOPO 250K Series 3" dataset (GUID: a0650f18-518a-4b99-a553-44f82f28bb5f).

Masks polygons were also created for clear visualisation of graticules and state annotation graphics, as well as other cartographic labels and graphics in the same maps.
