| ArcToolbox, part of a suite of integrated applications in ArcInfo 8, provides a complete environment for performing geoprocessing operations. Wizards and tools step you through even the most complex of geoprocessing tasks such as data conversion, overlay processing, buffer creation, and map transformation. ArcToolbox puts high-end geoprocessing within the grasp of everyone. Using ArcToolbox shows you how to immediately put ArcToolbox to work. Whether you're just beginning with geoprocessing and GIS or you're a power user, this book makes it easy to identify a task--from basic to advanced--and then shows you how to get it done. You'll learn how to:
use a tool or wizard to work with geographic data
create batch processes
create and submit a job to a remote geoprocessing server
customize the ArcToolbox interface to suit your needs
create a custom tool in Visual Basic and add it to the ArcToolbox Begin learning by following a Quick Start Tutorial to get an overview of what you can do with ArcToolbox and actually complete a GIS project. If you're an experienced ArcInfo user, you can also jump right in and experiment with ArcToolbox on your own. All of the processes are explained with illustrated step-by-step instructions. |
