Intro to Arcview GIS from watertohoku on Vimeo.
Introducción al SIG (utilizando el viejo y sabio ArcviewGIS)
Hello friends,

The meeting was recorded without audio. Next it is outlined the contents of the session (in parenthesis it is written the time at which you may check the respective contents).


Questions or comments (if any) are always welcomed.

Contents of the video:
i) Creation of a grid in Arcview:
(the part where Autocad is used was supposed to show how to edit a topographic map in dwg. , but because of time limitations we dismissed this part)
- The environment of a project: Creating a new view, view units, adding shapes (0:05:00 - 0:14:00).
- Contour lines from a grid, and backward process: create a grid from contour lines (Contours-> TIN -> Grid) (0:15:00 - 0:24:00).
- Exporting a grid in Ascii format (for exchanging with Surfer, Transform, or our programmes in C, Fortran, etc) (0:24:00 - 0:25:00).

ii) Adding extensions-scripts:
- Adding extensions (avx, or ave extensions) (0:25:00 - 0:27:00). More extensions available for free - academic purposes- in:
http://arcscripts.esri.com/scripts.asp?eLang=&eProd=4&perPage=10&eQuery=&Submit2=Search.
- Running a script in ave. (0:27:00 - 0:29:00).
- Activating the extensions (avx) (0:29:00 - 0:30:00).

iii) Operations with grids:
- Overview of some functions available (0:30:00 - 0:35:00).
- Operations: Map calculator and map query (0:35:00 - 0:39:00).
