In this revised edition of the ArcView GIS/Avenue Developer's Guide (1999), a GIS consultant who once was a GIS manager at a federal government agency provides coverage of the object- oriented Avenue language used to customize the ArcView software package for diverse users of spatial data. He covers such topics as structured application development, Avenue basics, programming themes, accessing/editing databases, and spatial analyst and network analyst classes. Appendices include Avenue programming guidelines, and pros and cons of migrating to the latest version of ArcView (8.1)--following a review of changes from 2.1 to 3.1.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
ArcView GIS Developer's Guide offers readers one of the most complete and widely used introductions to Avenue, ESRI's proprietary programming language for ArcView GIS, available anywhere. Newly updated and written to ArcView GIS 3.2a, this edition begins with an explanation of the object-oriented programming concept. From this starting point, readers proceed directly into practical demonstrations, examples of programming code, and tutorials engineered to lead them through the steps required to customize the ArcView GIS interface; create, edit, and test scripts; produce hardcopy maps; and integrate ArcView GIS with other applications. Coverage of Avenue fundamentals meets the needs of the novice, while individual chapters on Dialog Designer and programming Spatial Analyst benefit even the most experienced programmer. Familiarity with GIS as a data visualization tool is assumed, yet no prior programming experience is required to use this combination how-to and reference manual as a guide to optimizing the power of today's most popular GIS desktop tool!
