Lab 1

Objectives:


Create login on Geography servers

If you were registered early enough, your UWNetID should be recognized by the Geography servers. If you have not yet logged in this quarter, your password may be your student number. If you are in 461, you may have already fixed this.

(official policy) about Geography accounts

This course has a shared (read-only) folder Geog465Win03 on P: at the same level as "students".

Opening a script

Make a copy into your space of Ex03.mxd (the project file from 460 Exercise 03 from Autumn Quarter. It will open up with the land cover grid file showing a red exclamation mark, yes it is not there, but we don't care...

Add the Spatial Analyst extension (as usual), and the Raster Combine operator will appear... How did Guirong do this?

Under Tools, select Macros, open Visual Basic Editing...

Open the "form" frmRasterCombine, it appears to have just the image of the form BUT then open the Code, and you see the script that made the raster combine operate...

[Perhaps take a look at how it operates; a lot of plumbing!]

While we are in the VBA environment, take a look at the ArcObjects Help, or open up the ArcObjects Developer Help for the full content of the posters (as a distinct item on the ArcInfo "program group")...

back on the mothership, there is a repository for scripts of all description contributed by many...
