ArcView within the GIS Lab

Creating contour themes: A tutorial on how to create contours from point (XYZ) data using the ArcView Spatial Analyst extension.

Orienting symbols used in hotlinks: How to make oriented hotlink symbols point at the features they represent.

Procedures for importing grids and adding grid themes to Arcview.

CMDLINE.AVE: Generate a command line interface to ArcView. This script is useful for testing Avenue commands and checking the results of operations.
GPS_CONT.AVE: Generate a point theme of elevation values derived from contour lines intersected by a cross section line.
GPS_XSEC.AVE: Generate a table of coordinates and attributes extracted from selected points along a cross section line.

Table Unload Tool: The "Unload Table" is a custom function which allows users to unload (or export) data records from a point attribute table to a file which contains each point's X-Y coordinates. This function is different from the resident ArcView table "Export" function which writes point attribute data but not the point coordinates.
Cross Section Table Tool: The "Cross Section Table Tool" operates on point themes and generates a new table in ArcView that contains points whose coordinates have been transformed from the point theme's original coordinate space to the coordinate space defined by the axis of the cross section line. The tool allows users to generate new views of point data parallel to or perpendicular to geologic or geographic features.

ArcView Error Messages: Describes obscure error messages associated with ArcView, Avenue and the Spatial Analyst.

Rumblings on the Ocean Floor: GIS Supports Deep-Sea Research: Dawn Wright (Oregon State University) describes the use of ArcView aboard the deepsea research vessel Atlantis II for managing and interpreting oceanographic data.
