  1. Introducing ArcGIS Desktop

  2. ArcGIS Desktop is a GIS software product line ArcView, ArcEditor, ArcInfo share a common user interface and can freely exchange maps and data • ArcReader • Lets you view and print digital maps created by others • ArcView • Query, analyze, and overlay layers • ArcEditor • ArcView+ additional data creation and editing tools • ArcInfo • ArcEditor+ additional set of spatial analysis tools Week 1 Lab Thursday

  3. ArcGIS • ArcMap • ArcToolbox • ArcCatalog ArcGIS is composed of three Programs Week 1 Lab Thursday

  4. ArcMap • ArcMap is the primary program you will be working with in class • Display Data • Edit Data • Query Attributes • Conduct Spatial Analysis • Design Maps for Output Week 1 Lab Thursday

  5. ArcMap ArcMap has a data view for creating, symbolizing, and analyzing maps ArcMap also has a layout view for composing maps for printing. You can add titles, scale bars, legends, and other elements Week 1 Lab Thursday

  6. ArcToolbox • ArcToolbox is the Program you use for many Analysis, Conversion, and Data Management functions • Most Used Toolboxes • 3D Analyst • Analysis • Conversion • Coverage • Data Management • Spatial Analyst Week 1 Lab Thursday

  7. ArcCatalog • ArcCatalog is the application used to browse and manage spatial data • Create, Copy, Rename, Move Data • Search, Preview, and Manage Data • Create and Update Metadata • Conduct Basic Processing of Data NOTE: you must use ArcCatalog to create new files Week 1 Lab Thursday

  8. Extending ArcGIS Desktop • You can augment the capabilities of ArcGIS Desktop with specialized extension products that are fully integrated with ArcGIS Desktop. • ArcGIS Spatial Analyst – maps and analyzes measured data as well as allowing you to represent, query, and summarize. • ArcGIS 3D Analyst – gives you the ability to see spatial data in three dimensions. Week 1 Lab Thursday

  9. Exploring ArcMap ArcMap is an application for displaying maps and analyzing data. The ArcMap application window consists of a map display for viewing spatial data, a table of contents for listing the layers shown in the display, and a variety of toolbars for working with the data. Week 1 Lab Thursday

  10. ArcMap - Layout Main menu toolbar Standard toolbar Catalog window Table of contents Search window Tools toolbar Map display Draw toolbar Week 1 Lab Thursday

  11. Exploring ArcCatalog ArcCatalog is an application for managing geographic data. You can copy, move, and delete data; search for data; look at data before deciding whether to add it to a map; and create new data. Week 1 Lab Thursday

  12. ArcCatalog - Layout Main menu toolbar Location toolbar Standard toolbar Geography toolbar Metadata toolbar Catalog display (preview mode) Catalog tree Week 1 Lab Thursday

  13. Spatial data comes in many different formats • Geodatabases • Coverages • Shapefiles • CAD files (computer-aided design) • Rasters • TINs (triangulated irregular networks) Each format is identified by its own icon in ArcCatalog Week 1 Lab Thursday

  14. ArcCatalog gives you more information about spatial data than you can get from Windows Explorer or other file browsers. It can show you which folders contain spatial data and what kinds of spatial data they contain. It lets you preview features and attributes of data before you add the data to a map. Week 1 Lab Thursday

  15. let’s have some fun Week 1 Lab Thursday
