Frequently asked question

Why do maps with the same style sheets look different?

Last Published: April 25, 2020

Answer

Due to the different technologies that create maps, the appearance of style sheets can vary between map formats.

Variations can occur between the following map formats:

· Vector formats (SVG and SWF)
These formats are generated by ArcWeb Explorer and REST.

· Raster formats (JPG, GIF, and PNG)
These formats are generated by ArcWeb map services.

· Custom data sources
