Intro arcgis
A GIS integrates five basic components - software, hardware, data, people, and methods. ArcGIS is a GIS software made up of different desktop, engine, and server products with increasing functionality. It uses a graphical user interface and allows for customization, programming, and extensions. ArcGIS is scalable across different applications from desktop to server to web. The document provides an overview of how ArcGIS works and its various components. It discusses the different data formats, analysis methods, and output options in a GIS and provides examples. It also outlines the history and scalability of ESRI's ArcGIS products. For homework, students are asked to read about ArcGIS and complete the first assignment.

- 2. A GIS integratesfive basic components software method s hardware data people
- 3.
- 4. Types of datasets Vectorformats (“feature classes”) Points Lines (”arcs”) Polygons
- 5. Types of datasets Rasterformats Matrices of square cells (grids, pixels)
- 6. Types of datasets Attributetables: tables of data describing spatial features
- 7.
- 8. Basic GIS Functions Capture Store Query Analyze Display Output
- 9. Capturing data Digital images Paper maps GIS GPS output Coordinate lists
- 10. Query Identifying specificfeatures Where is parcel No. 2945? Identifying features based on conditions Find all trees with DBH > 35 cm
- 11. Analysis Proximity : whichroads are within a 100 ft from a stream Overlay: combines the features of two or more layers to create a new layer (intersections, unions…) Network: examines how linear features are connected

- 20. ArcGIS Desktop Products ArcInfo ArcEditor ArcView Increased Functionality
- 21. The history ofESRI products ArcInfo ArcView ArcGIS ArcInfo ArcEditor ArcView time
- 22. All ArcGIS productsshare ArcInfo common applications ArcEditor ArcView ArcCatalog-window to database ArcMap-displaying ArcToolbox-geographic processing functions
- 23. What is uniqueabout ArcGIS GIS? •GUI (Graphic User Interface) •Customization & Programming •Extensions to Increase Functionality •Scalability
- 24. GUI Beware: TheArcGIS GUI is complicated and many- layered. There is no command-line control; all automation must be scripted.
- 25. Customization & Programming • Many functions are not available from the GUI • Custom functions and operations can be created with various programming languages • Repetitive tasks can be automated • New functions and operations can be added to the GUI menus, buttons, and tools • Entire new applications can be developed • But: Scripting is not easy to learn
- 26. Extensions -> IncreaseFunctionality Functionality not included in the core ArcGIS product can increase productivity Some extensions are built-in, but just need to be enabled Other extensions are available for free (web); some are available for sale We will be using several extensions during the course
- 27. ArcGIS Scalability Custom Desktop ArcInfo Application ArcEditor ArcView Web ArcReader ArcPad Browser ArcObjects Network ArcGIS ArcIMS Server ArcSDE RDBMS The ArcGIS suite contains Desktop application (we will be using this quarter) Data server application (ArcSDE) Application servers (ArcGIS Server) Internet mapping servers (ArcIMS)

Editor's Notes
- #20 ArcGIS is the name used to identify ESRI’s flagship family of GIS products. ArcGIS ® includes ArcGIS client software, components as well as application and data server software. ArcGIS itself is not a GIS application; rather, it is a set of software products for building ArcGIS systems that best suit your GIS needs. ArcGIS is based on a common library of shared GIS software components, called ArcObjects ™ . ArcGIS is composed of client and server applications. Each software application can create, manage, analyze, and serve data stored in one or more formats. ArcGIS Desktop: Integrated suite of advanced GIS applications consisting of three software products: ArcView ® , ArcEditor ™ , and ArcInfo ® . The ArcGIS Desktop applications provide the same core mapping, editing, and analysis functionality. The level of functionality available differs depending on which license you have. ArcInfo provides users with the most complete level of GIS functionality. It is composed of ArcInfo Desktop, as well as ArcInfo Workstation. ArcReader ™ : Allows users to view high quality published maps (.PMFs) created in ArcMap ™ . ArcGIS ® Engine: Developer toolkit of embeddable GIS components for building custom stand alone applications using COM, C++, Java, and .NET ArcPad ® : Used with PDAs for creating and managing data while in the field ArcGIS ® Server: A shared library of GIS software objects used to build/develop serverside GIS applications in enterprise and Web computing frameworks ArcIMS ® : Use to publish maps, data, and metadata through open internet protocols ArcSDE ® : Manages and serves spatial information from external RDBMS to ArcGIS clients For more information, go to http://www.esri.com/software/index.html.
