Show raster catalogs in a legend

Summary

Note:
This article applies to retired ArcGIS versions 8.x. Later versions of ArcGIS may contain different functionality, as well as different names and locations for menus, commands and geoprocessing tools.

When a legend is created for a data frame that contains a raster catalog, the raster catalog’s name does not appear in the legend by default. Use the following steps to modify the legend's properties to show the layer's name.

Procedure

This article assumes that the legend has already been created and exists in the layout, and is a workaround for the Legend Wizard which does not allow for this modification.

1. Select the legend item in the layout and right-click it.
2. Select Properties from the context menu.
3. Select the Items tab.
4. Right-click the raster catalog name in the Legend Items list.
5. Select Properties.
6. Select the General tab.
7. Select Show Item Name.

8. Select OK in the Legend Item Properties dialog.
