Appendix A- Best Practices for use of Spatial Data in Spectrum Spatial Analyst

This section provides a background to map rendering in Spectrum and some recommendations on ensuring fast and optimal performance. There are two aspects of performance:

• Best practices for use of data- Map render performance is partly a factor of data complexity. The more processing needed to render a map image the more time it will take to perform the rendering.
• Best practices for use of Spectrum: Understanding the behavior of the Spectrum application can be useful when creating map configurations.
