Title: ArcGIS

ArcGIS
  • An
  • Introduction for
  • ArcView 3.x users

2
Tonight
  • What is ArcGIS
  • How is it like and not like ArcView 3.x
  • How will this class work
  • Assignments
  • Book and software
  • Labs

3
What is ArcGIS
  • Latest ESRI software
  • Complicated terminology about just what it is
  • ArcGIS has three components
  • ArcCatalog
  • ArcMap
  • ArcToolbox

4
Licenses
  • OK, it has three components
  • But there are three levels of license
  • ArcView 8
  • ArcEditor
  • ArcInfo 8
  • All three consist of
  • ArcCatalog
  • ArcMap
  • ArcToolbox

5
ArcView 8
ArcView provides data visualization, query,
analysis, and integration capabilities along with
the ability to create and edit simple geographic
features
6
ArcEditor
ArcEditor, a brand new software product, includes
all the functionality ArcView and adds the power
to create and edit features in a multiuser
geodatabase or coverage.
7
ArcInfo 8
ArcInfo includes all the functionality of
ArcEditor and adds advanced geoprocessing
capabilities. ArcSDE adds database services to
the ArcGIS family, while ArcIMS adds Internet
services

ArcView 3.x VS ArcGIS
Projects vs Map Documents
Project
Map Document
Are similar in that both hold all the elements
for a map
Multipledocuments
Only ONEdata frame!
  • View
  • Theme
  • Layout
  • Chart
  • Avenue scripts

Data Frame Layer Layout Graph VBA script
Documents

ArcView 3.x VS ArcGIS
Theme vs Layer
In 3.x, geographic data is added as themes to a
view. A 8.x Layer is essentially the same thing
as a theme but is arranged a little differently.
You can change layer names and symbolization as
you could for themes.
13
ArcView 3.x VS ArcGIS
The Context Menu
  • Right clicking on a layer produces the context
    menu

When in doupt--
Right Click!!!
14
ArcView 3.x VS ArcGIS
View vs. Data Frame
  • Nearly the same thing-
  • In AV3
  • themes of features located in the same geographic
    area are displayed in view s.
  • A view has two parts,
  • the TOC and
  • the data display
  • you can add many views to a project but only one
    view can be active at a time.

15
ArcView 3.x VS ArcGIS
View vs. Data Frame
  • Nearly the same thing-
  • In AV 8
  • layers of data for the same geographic extent are
    grouped in data frames and displayed in ArcMap.
  • The data frame appears in the Table of Contents
    with the layers it contains listed below it.
  • Many data frames can be added to a map doc but
    only one data frame can be active at a time.
  • The data in the active data frame is the data
    drawn in the map display area and the data that
    you can work with.

ArcView 3.x VS ArcGIS
Layouts(3) vs. Layout(8)
  • In 3.x, a layout is used to create a map using
    data contained in views, charts, tables, etc.
  • There can be multiple layouts in a 3.x project
  • In 8 a layout is composed on a virtual page
  • Data is added by using the Insert menu.
  • To display more than one map on a layout, you
    insert more data frames.
  • In ArcView 8, each map document has one, and only
    one, layout.

19
ArcView 3.x VS ArcGIS
Data View vs. Layout View in AV8
  • ArcMap provides two ways of viewing a map.
  • When you want to explore, display, and query your
    data, use Data View,
  • When you want to prepare a map for output, use
    the Layout View so you can add and arrange
    elements like legends, north arrows, and scale
    bars.
  • In Layout View you can display more than one data
    frame at the same time.

On-the-fly projection
  • Fantastic improvement!!!!! ?
  • BUT you have to know and have recorded the
    projection definition for the data being imported!
