2 ArcMap Usability Navigation/Interaction Improved Measure Tool New Go To XY command lets you find coordinates on the map Navigate maps with mouse wheel Navigation keyboard shortcuts Customize Full Extent New Scale Control Easier to work with Scales Persisted throughout Desktop Applications Magnifier and Viewer window enhancements Easy to create multiple viewing panels Improved Find Layers Easier to choose layers in dialogs Support Group Layers Set transparency, contrast and brightness for group layers Improved Identify Tool Zoom to make visible command Swipe on Group Layers Data Frames Improved handling of different geographic coordinate systems ArcMap Usability Map Documents Able to set if all Map Documents should use relative or absolute paths Support for Decimal Degrees and Degrees Decimal Minutes Map Grids New USNG and MGRS styles are located in ESRI.style New interval support Tables Easier to calculate fields to be area, length, perimeter, etc. Improvements to the Field Calculator Print tables directly without creating reports Easier to sort fields Easier to select and unselect records Navigate quickly from a table to the map Excel Support 2

3 Viewing metadata in ArcMap Desktop Help Improvements Better search Faster, more intelligent natural language search Synonyms improve results and ranks Customizable, with search options and history Reworked index Better content Structured around concepts and tasks, not product names More tips, tricks, and graphics Easier access to tutorials Links to PDFs from help Video clips of each tutorial 3

4 9.2 Usability Enhancements Demo Animation in 9.2 ArcGIS 9.2 4

5 What s new in 9.2 Builds upon existing animation functionality from 3D Analyst Map view track for panning and zooming in and out Map layer track for turning layers on and off and transparency Added Animation toolbar to ArcMap New Time Layer Animation Type Synchronized temporal display of multiple layers and graphs in all applications : ArcMap, ArcScene, ArcGlobe Feature Classes, Raster Catalogs, NetCDF data supported For display of historic time series, not real time data feeds. Export custom resolution animations without distortion Supported datasets for temporal animation Feature Layers Raster Catalog Layers Tables Feature Layer, Raster Layer, or Table created from netcdf Database history layers and Tracking Analyst layers Animation setup is the same for all types Data can also be animated in graphs 5

6 Raster Catalogs for temporal animation Use a date/time field Or use an index field (i.e. ObjectID (if rasters are sequential through time) Note: The layer will initially draw as a wire frame if more than 9 rasters. Once animated, you ll see the images NetCDF for temporal animation Multidimensional Arrays Already support time as a dimension (e.g. netcdf, HDF) New to most GIS users, common to Earth science modeling community. Temperature, wind direction and wind speed from National Weather Service forecast model 6

7 Animating data in graphs Create a graph using a layer or table When the animation is played, the graph will animate Location of Desktop online Help: Animation in ArcMap tutorial useful to get started Read the Animation FAQ 7

8 Graphing in 9.2 ArcGIS Graph types - Bar, Line, Area, Histogram, Scatter, Pie, Box plot 8

9 Color matching Color matching between graph and map layer. Other color options: Custom - single color for all values New Graph Wizard Improved user interfaces (UIs): Improved context menu with added functionality: 9

10 More control over elements Advanced Properties gives full control over all graph elements Multiple datasets on same graph Plot data from several different fields or datasets on same graph. Each plot is called a series. Series data can come from a different field from the same input, or one of the other layers available to ArcMap. Series 1 Series 2 The order of series and functions can be changed on by reordering the tabs in the Properties page. 10

11 Graph Manager Now displays the name of the source layers and tables. Now resizable Graphs can be sorted alphabetically by name and by graph type in the graph manager. Better save/load functionality. Graphs can be exported to more formats. Improved Data handling & representation Better linking interaction between maps, tables and graphs. Better editing functionality. Support for larger datasets. Plot Mathematical Functions (previously called "Trends") Some new Functions that were not available before are: Count, Cumulative, Exponential Moving Average, Exponential Trend, Median, Mode, Moving Average, Root Mean Square, Standard Deviation, Trend, Variance. 11

16 Enhanced Analysis Tools Working with Large Datasets Large inputs are tiled, processed and then reassembled Messages indicate when tiling occurs Tools will work with the amount of memory on the machine Outputs should be written to file or enterprise geodatabases New Results tab in ArcToolbox window Records everything you have done Easy to review and reuse geoprocessing steps in current and previous sessions. 16

17 Enhanced Conversion Tools Feature to Feature and Table to Table tools have a new field mapping option Provides ability to easily define the output schema Provides ability to easily define the output schema Change names Change types Remove fields Add fields Merge fields Tool also moves metadata from input to the output Enhanced Data Management tools Append has a new field map option Makes it easier to match input fields to fields in the already existing feature class or table 17

18 New Data Management tools Random values and data New Create Random Points tool creates a given number of randomly placed points in a new feature class Three generator types are supported Standard C Rand() function ACM collected algorithm 599 Mersenne Twister mt19937 Batch Processing Any tool may be opened in a batch mode, allowing users to provide multiple parameter values in a batch table When run, the tool will execute all rows in the table 18

19 Batch Processing Demo ArcGIS 9.2 ModelBuilder New Features & Enhancements ArcGIS

20 ModelBuilder New features Iteration and model feedback Variable substitution List and series processing Enhancements May use a graphic to depict a variable or tool or as a background to the model Model Iteration By default model executes its set of process once At 9.2, Set Iterate using a count Set Iterate using Boolean conditions 20

21 Model Iteration and Feedback The feedback relationship between two variables is displayed in the model diagram Growth models, such as wildfire spread, require feedback loops List & Series Processing A model variable may contain: A single value A list of values A series of values 21

22 List & Series Processing List Example Model creates three final outputs with no iteration List & Series Processing Example Final output: Road_clip0.shp, Towers_clip0.shp, Buildings_clip0.shp Road_clip1.shp. Towers_clip1.shp, Buildings_clip1.shp 22

23 New Display Properties in ModelBuilder You can use images for tools and variables In addition, you can change many of the symbology properties for individual elements, such as shape, color, and font. Geoprocessing Documentation What s New? All conceptual topics have been rewritten or heavily edited Many new topics have been added to better explain how geoprocessing works Easier to understand and follow introduction to what is geoprocessing and ArcGIS s geoprocessing framework Many more illustrated examples 23

24 Exporting models When exporting a model, iteration, lists and series are not supported in the new script The script will contain the first value of a list or series There will be no loop, the script represents the first iteration of the model What s New in ArcGIS 9.2 Raster Audrey Bong ArcGIS
