ArcGIS – Edit Polygon Line Thickness When Using Bivariate Color Symbology in ArcGIS Pro

arcgis-desktoparcgis-prosymbology

Question summary

How can I vary the thickness of the edges/lines of polygons when they are symbolized using the "Bivariate Colors" option?

Explanation, context and what I tried

When I symbolize a polygon layer using the "Graduated Colors" symbology option, I can edit the thickness of the polygon's edges/lines using the "Format all symbols" item inside the "More" drop down menu.

However, when I symbolize a polygon layer using the "Bivariate Colors" symbology option, I simply cannot find a way to edit the thickness of the polygons' lines/edges.

I've tried all of the sub-menus, but wasn't able to find out where this can be edited. I even tried a workaround of using the "Vary symbology by attribute" and setting a constant value, but that didn't work either:

Software version

I'm using ArcGIS Pro 2.9.3.

Best Answer

If you want to change thickness of all edges you click on the template icon

Here is an example of setting the border on a bivariate colour scheme to a gradient stroke for a cool effect.

I don't think you can change the thickness of individual colour scheme polygons, well I've not worked out how.

Ok, there is a way to do this but it's nasty.

Using your ranges (in a table or ASCII file) reclassify the data, this will turn your ranges into values (like 23.6-24.4 becomes 1). Then you can apply a colourmap to the file to get the same colours, this is the nasty part. The colourmap file looks like this:

1 255 255 0
2 64 0 128
3 255 32 32
4 0 255 0
5 0 0 255

See here about making a colourmap file... you have to longhand get the values, you can do this by double clicking on each patch and getting their RGB values. Then the exported, colourmapped image will be exacty the same as the classified raster.

You can do it from Symbology tab, just click in More to access to Format all symbols:

If you want to format just some symbols, select them (you can use SHIFT or CONTROL to select several items), right click and select Format symbol(s)
