18. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Exploring the maps interface Title bar: shows map name Status bar: describes selected buttons and menu items; reports coordinates Display area: Map features draw in the display area Table of contents: Data views and layer legends are listed in the dockable TOC Toolbars: tear-off and dockable Menu bar Standard toolbar Sizable! Drag divider Context menus: right-click on data or layers. Draw toolbar Add Data Button

19. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Designing your map Focus on the map design Add your map elements to the virtual page Make your maps in layout view

20. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Organizing your data Layers appear in the TOC Layers draw in their TOC order, bottom-up New layers are smartly added in point, line, poly order

21. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Keeping track of where youve been Spatial bookmarks –Creating bookmarks –Naming bookmarks –Returning to a bookmark –Editing bookmarks

22. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Find a feature Search: –All layers –Selectable layers –One layer by name Flash Zoom Identify Spatial bookmark Select ARC Find **

23. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Generating reports Prototype report writer based on 3rd party software Put attribute data on the map (not implemented at beta) You control the data you see Customize the report style

24. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Charting your data Prototype charting tool based on 3rd party software Choose from several different chart types

25. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Referencing positions on your maps Graticule Map index Measured graticule

26. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Style sets contain: Symbols –Point –Line –Polygon –Text Graphic properties –Colors –Color ramps –Fonts Map elements –North arrows, scale bars, etc.

27. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Layers New concept Maps contain a set of layers –Like themes –Define how to draw and work with spatial datasets –Independent of the data Publish layers in the Catalog –Can be shared with other users

28. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Layers

29. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum ArcMap + VBA

30. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Arc Toolbox Advanced geoprocessing toolbox Organizes geoprocessing tools 120 tools Wizards for advanced tasks –Map projection –Data conversion Easy to use Local or remote geoprocessing

31. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum Using Arc Toolbox Compose job with Arc Toolbox on Windows Execute locally or remotely 1. Compose job Arcedit Arcplot Arc 2. Perform geo-processing

32. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum ArcToolbox? Menu interface for coverage processing & conversion Data loading for Geodatabase Works well with ArcCatalog (drag-n-drop)

33. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum The user interface Tool description: describes selected tools and wizards Menu bar Context menus: Options for Tool tree items. Tool tree: Organizes tools and wizards by function. Wizards: For complex tasks Tools: For basic tools

34. Geo 265, GIS Practicuum The Tool Tree Navigate to tools like Windows ® Explorer Tools organized by function Tree is only 3 levels deep - easy to find tool you want Tree objects are: Tool sets Information screens Tools Wizards
