Feature blending is something I didn't have an opportunity to use yet but I am a big fan of tessellations. Another great video full of useful techniques. Thank you John.
Wow I feel like these videos always come right when I need them! I had recently made a similar map displaying wildfires with messy overlap, but the requester wanted them classified into 4 classes by years. Not sure if you had any thoughts of how to properly symbolize that and maintain distinction; what I ended up doing was using the overlay layer blend coupled a white outline.
that's harder. you could use a spatial join and aggregate the data of one into the other. you could also do a union of the two layers and make discrete unique shapes. and probably other things. but it's not a straightforward.
Super useful visual strategies. Thanks for such a great video! For CA fires, based on this video and your blog from a few years ago, I cannot, for the life of me, get the spatial join to do a join_count of # fires within each hexagon >1. I did see your correction of join within in the blog, also tried it as intersect as in the video and can't get it to work.
in that case, three classes makes this technique a lot messier and i wouldn't recommend it. unless you used cyan, magenta, and yellow, and used a multiply blend mode to combine their hues like a printer does, maybe?
Do you have strategies for lableing overlapping polygons? I would like it if I could push the label to the area of the polygon that was still showing instead stead of having stacked labels.

The last two tricks are sooooo good and useful. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great, thanks!
Simple, immensely useful, and entertaining as always. Brilliant work as always!
Thanks Danny!

Thanks Zorko!
I'm so glad I've found this channel! Cheers mr. John‼
Wonderful, thank you!
Great work! Thanks John.
Thanks!

I think in that case I’d use the hexagon aggregation method
This is super helpful. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks @@ava.artemis!
Take a week just learning the basics and you will be good, I been using soft soft since it was Fruity Loops back in 03, and still learn
You can also make hatching at a different angle. For example 45° for yellow polygon and -45° for blue one.
Yes! Lots of fun options
What about overlapping from two different layers
that's harder. you could use a spatial join and aggregate the data of one into the other. you could also do a union of the two layers and make discrete unique shapes. and probably other things. but it's not a straightforward.

I’m away from my computer this week Vance but send me an email and we’ll figure it out next week
@@JohnNelsonMaps Heya: could you publish the solution if/when you do it? I was also struggling with a similar workflow. Grazie!
What if you have more than two overlapping polygons, each with it's distinct color ?
in that case, three classes makes this technique a lot messier and i wouldn't recommend it. unless you used cyan, magenta, and yellow, and used a multiply blend mode to combine their hues like a printer does, maybe?
Do you have strategies for lableing overlapping polygons? I would like it if I could push the label to the area of the polygon that was still showing instead stead of having stacked labels.
that can definitely be a challenge. let me think about this one.
Thanks John. But when I make legends out of those blended features, they won't display them in the layout.
yes, unfortunately legends aren't able to show the relationship that blend modes have on stacks of layers.
Nice
Thanks!
thank you
You bet!
