Vector SymbologyDiscrete Attribute Data

• Single Symbol
• All Features Look the Same
• Categories
• Unique Values
• Using One Attribute, Set a Distinct Symbol for
  Each Value
• Unique Values, Many Fields
• Using Several Attributes, Set a Distinct Symbol
  for Each Combination
• Match to Symbols In a Style
• Use Preset Symbology Based on an Attribute
