Now
Ive
added
the
rest
of
the
tools
we
will
need.
The
connector
tool
does
most
of
the
rest,
with
some
personal
oversight
on
extra
parameters
(like
the
z-limit
on
the
Fill
tool)
This
is
an
op:onal
output
it
will
remain
white
as
long
as
we
dont
use
it
Model
Builder
usually
does
a
good
job
showing
progress
through
a
model
run.
As
you
can
see,
layers
were
created
at
each
step
of
our
model.
You
can
add
the
Delete
tool
to
remove
these
during
the
model
run
if
you
dont
want
them.
Or,
save
junk
les
to
a
specic
folder
to
delete
later
What
is
GRID_CODE?
Unimportant
to
readers
Specic
eleva:ons
dont
seem
important
on
this
map
so
a
good
choice
to
label
DEM
with
High
and
Low
Some:mes
it
is
worth
considering
what
your
gure
will
look
like
in
greyscale,
if
you
expect
it
might
be
printed
out
o\en.
Not
so
good
original
colors
were
too
light.
Underlying
DEM
dierences
overwhelm
color
dierences
on
much
of
this
map.
What
about
this
one?
Lets
ignore
the
poor
choice
of
leaving
colors
on
the
bathymetry
DEM
which
conict
with
the
colors
on
the
legend.
Thats
beker
probably
as
good
as
we
can
expect
from
turning
a
color
gure
into
greyscale!
Advice
Regarding
Figures
So
given
all
of
that
There
is
certainly
a
lot
you
could
think
about
when
designing
a
gure!
Really
just
remember
the
most
important
thing
to
keep
in
mind
is
what
the
purpose
of
your
gure
is.
What
do
you
want
the
reader
to
understand
from
it?
Make
sure
that
data
is
clearly
marked
and
easy
to
nd.
Common
map
items
are
a
:tle,
a
scale
bar,
a
north
arrow,
and
a
legend.
Everything
else
can
usually
be
reduced
or
removed
in
a
gure.
You
can
always
have
other
people
look
over
your
gure.
A
fresh
viewpoint
can
be
a
huge
help!
