• ACCESS WEB SERVICES

• PERFORM GIS TASKS

• INTEGRATION OF VARIOUS DATA TYPES

• CREATE A PRESENATION

ARCGIS EXPLORER’S VALUE

• READY TO USE• WEB–BASED CONTENT• INDIVIDUAL LAYER SERVICES• 2-D MAPS• 3-D GLOBES• FREELY ACCESSED

Who Has ARCGIS EXPLORER?• All DOTD Windows 7 computers should have it• Different Versions• Newest Version is Build 2500• May not work properly due to video card issues• Homepage:

Saving ArcGIS Explorer Maps

Basic ArcGIS Explorer Work Flow

• Choose Basemap• Add Content• Perform Task• Make Presentation

Choose Basemap • Imagery Streets • Topographic• OpenSteetMap• Imagery with Labels• National Geographic• Terrain• Light Gray Canvas• Oceans• Bing Maps• Bing Maps with Streets• US Topo• Bings Maps(please note all imagery basemaps taken at different times)

Choose Basemap Part 2

• DeLorme Basemap• World Labels• World Labels (black)• World Time Zones• Population Density 2010• Projected Growth 2010- 2015• USA Topo Maps

Add Content

ArcGIS Layers

• Layer File (.lyr) – includes symbolization and labeling that reference a data source that resides in another location. Does not contain the actual datasets.

• Layer Package (.lpk) – includes data, symbolization, labeling, and metadata

Adding H13000ms006\GISin Windows 7

• In Windows Explorer right click Computer• Select Add Network Location• Click Next• Click Next• Type: \\h13000ms006\GIS• Click Next• Rename it you want• Click Next• Click Finish

MAP CONTENT FILES• Notes • Folders • Views • Links • GIS Service Layers • KML Layers • Feature Layers • Raster Layers • Layer Packages • Image Overlays • Layers based on GeoRSS feeds

KML\KMZ. • KML (KEYHOLE MARKUP LANGUAGE)

• A XML FILE FORMAT FOR STORING GEOGRAPHY FEATURES

• KMZ (COMPRESSED KML)• THE FORMAT THAT GOOGLE USES• When installing software check the box that says you

want KML files to be associated with ArcGIS Explorer

GIS Web Services

• ArcGIS Server• ArcIMS Server• World Map Server

ARCGIS SERVER AND ARCIMS SERVER

AMONG THEIR MANY USESARCGIS AND ARCIMS SERVERSENABLE PEOPLE TO BRING• MAPS• DATA• TOOLSON TO THE INTERNET

Adding DOTD GIS Web Service

• Click Add Content• Click GIS Services• Click New Server Connection• Select ArcGIS server for Server Type• Type http://gis.dotd.la.gov/arcgis/services for the

Server• Click Next• Choose a Service

WORLD MAP SERVER (WMS)

• AN OPEN SOURCE THAT ALLOWS ONE TO REQUEST MAPS FROM A SERVER OVER THE INTERNET

• AN EXAMPLE IS NASA’S WORLDWIND

SHAPEFILES

• A SIMPLE, NONTOPOLOGICAL FORMAT FOR STORING GEOMETRIC LOCATION AND ATTRIBUTE INFORMATION OF GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES

• ARCVIEW 3X’S NATIVE FORMAT• Shapefiles are accessed the same way as layer

files

RASTERS• Imagine image (.img)• bitmap (.bmp) • JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg)• Portable Network Graphics (.png)• Graphics Interchange Format (.gif)• Tagged Image File Format (.tif, .tiff)• ARC/INFO and Space Imaging BIL (.bil)• ARC/INFO and Space Imaging BIP (.bip)• ARC/INFO and Space Imaging BSQ (.bsq)• DTED Level 0-2 (.dted) • ERDAS 7.5 LAN (.lan) • ERDAS 7.5 GIS (.gis) • JP2 (.jp2), MrSID (.sid)

• RAW (.raw) • NTIF (.ntf)• USGS ASCII DEM (.dem)• X11 Pixmap (.xpm)• PC Raster (.map) • PCI Geomatics Database File (.pix) • JPC (.jpc) • J2C (.j2c)• J2K (.j2k)• HDF (.hdf)• BSB (.kap)• ER Mapper ECW (.ecw)

Note: Rasters are accessed the same way as layer files

GEODATABASE DATA• File Geodatabase – a collection of various types of GIS datasets held

in a file system folder• Must add GIS Server again!• Connect to an ArcSDE database (ArcSDE is ESRI's technology for

accessing and managing geospatial data within relational databases.)

Adding ArcSDE Geodatabase

QUERYA point layer ( ), a line layer ( ), an area layer ( ) or a map service layer ( ). ArcGIS Layers and Layer Packages (indicated by the symbol) have been specifically created by their publisher to display the relevant information and therefore cannot have further queries applied.

View

• Bookmarks for locations

PRESENTATIONS

• Creating a presentation• Capturing slides• Reviewing Slides• Setting a Slide Title

CREATING PRESENTATIONS• Capturing slides includes:

• The current camera position/extent • The current basemap • The visibility of the various map items (what’s on, what’s off) • Any popup windows that are opened and their size and

position Does not include:• Individual properties of a map item (symbol, transparency,

etc) • Application level settings (navigator position, vertical

exaggeration, stars, fog, etc.)

EDITING SLIDES

• Delete the slide from the map • Hide the slide: this keeps the slide in the map,

but skips it during the presentation • Re-capture the slide: this replaces the selected

slide with the current state of the map

REVIEWING SLIDES

SETTING A SLIDE TITLE

• Edit Text• Change text position• Change text color and

background color• Change Font, size, emphasis
