For example, use the symbol size and shape, and <br />configure the order of layers to e nsure that multiple symbols drawing on each other will still allow <br />sufficient visibility of the symbols. This can be applied to indicate data types collected at a location, and <br />also data type/interval information. The following example shows this approac h to indicate station type: <br /> <br /> SymbolExample Example of Symbol Layering <br /> <br />Using many layers and symbols to indicate time series data interval may not be appropriate if the symbols <br />are to be used for classification. For example, the symbol size or color may indicate a physical <br />characteristic of the feature. For this reason and because maps usually focus on physical features, using <br />symbols to indicate the various data intervals is not common. More common are maps that show a layer <br />for real -time data and a l ayer for historical data, as shown in the following figure: <br />101
