Module 5: Geoprocessing in ArcGIS
This week in GIS Programming (GIS
5103), students built on previous exercises and practiced several stages of
geoprocessing, including making new tools with ArcGIS ModelBuilder, and
converting models into scripts and script tools for GIS. For the assignment, students
created model and script tools that perform two simple geoprocessing tasks. Further,
they learned to share the scripts as a toolbox so that others could use their
tools within a GIS environment. Below is an example of the script that students
were asked to modify to accept parameters.
Dr. Derek Morgan, the course instructor, writes: Samuel successfully
completed all parts of the assignment with flying colors! His blog
post is extremely detailed and something
to be proud of and he did a great job describing the steps taken to complete
this module. Within his blog post he took the time to position informative
figures (a flowchart) using the correct standard symbols
illustrating the steps he took to automate the geoprocessing steps.
Samuel has also been a helpful
presence on the discussion board helping his fellow students both in this class
and the other class he is taking this summer (Applications in GIS). Along with answering other student's questions
from his own coursework experience, he has provided helpful feedback that has helped to keep discussions moving in a positive direction. It is a pleasure to
have him in the class.
