The Service Center Agencies used Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) Tools extensively when the agencies were in the ArcView 3.x environment. Similar
tools for ArcMap had not been developed. The National Cartography & Geospatial Center (NCGC) continues to get requests for
these capabilities for ArcMap. Crude capabilities in ArcMap are available to turn on/off the symbology of the DRG TIFF images. Each image must be manipulated individually.
The National Cartography & Geospatial Center (NCGC) has developed an ArcMap Toolbar that provides essential tools for
turning symbology on/off; with results similar to the ArcView 3.x tools. The toolbar provides three capabilities – toggle
on/off individual values in the color palette, toggle on/off individual physical and cultural features, and a tool to
restore the color palette. Like the ArcView 3.x tool, the ArcMap tools will only process DRG images with a standard color
palette of 0-12.
These documents require Adobe Acrobat.
Note: The tool should be removed before removing ArcGIS for an upgrade to a later version of ArcGIS.
