Basic Tools / Data Access
This application acts as a primer to working with the ArcView / Avenue API.
Three items were developed, and described below:
ThemeAdd
This button opens a shapefile, renames it and joins it to another shapefile, then
giving the user a choice to open additional shapefiles.
QuerySkew
This button displays a GUI-based query tool, and saves the resulting selection to a
shapefile. The derived shapefile is then tested for a skewness in the distribution, based
on a user-entered (numeric) field.
GeoSelectTool
This tool item acts as a region select based on a user-defined selection box,
The QuerySkew tool is then applied to the selection.
This application was designed to work with a specific dataset, however the code is as generic
as possible. You may use it as you wish.
