A/I

It has strong map function and can satisfy all kinds of strict request of map edit and output, and its spatial analysis capability is also strong as ARC/INFO. Owing to MAPGIS is home-grown GIS software, its interface is Romanian, so operation is simple, and moreover, it is expensive.

Since CCCM was working in two distinct maintenance environments at the time, AutoCAD and Arc/Info, there were essentially two options available, Autodesk MapGuide and ESRI ArcIMS.

Conversion from linear mapped features to polygon features was performed with the BUFFER command in ARC/INFO. BUFFER encloses point and line features within a polygon and allows the user to define the buffer distance between the feature and the polygon edge.

Three coverages (data layers) were obtained in Arc/Info format: a topographic contour coverage from the Summit County Planning Department (SCPD), land parcel information and boundary coverages from SCPD, and geologic delineation coverages from the U.S.

The ARC/INFO Network analysis module requires that the demand within the network system (i.e., the patient discharge data) be represented along the network's road links (the idea is that each patient's trip to care originates along a road, not at a zip code centroid).

ARC/INFO stores informatioh about the world as a collection of thematic layers that can be linked together by geography.

Polygons were digitized into ARC/INFO (Environmental Systems Research Institute, Redlands, CA) mapping-database management system to determine planimetric area.

The UNIX version (6.1) of ARC/INFO (ESRI 1992) was the GIS software used for the study.

All errors were corrected using ARC/INFO (ESRI 1995b).

Babbs and Huang spent the next several days and nights putting ARC/INFO and ArcView GIS software (Environmental Research Systems Institute, Redlands, California) through its paces to produce detailed maps of Cincinnati's and Hamilton County's extensive riverfront.

Currently, the university's architecture, biology, computer sciences, health sciences, mapping, geographical information systems, math, physics, and mechanical and civil engineering departments are using eXceed/W to access a wide variety of X Windows applications like ARC/Info, AutoCAD, Center Line, C++ Tools, FrameMaker, Mathlab, SAS, Xgopher, xv and Xmosaic.
