| Recent decades have seen
major developments in geodesy and GIS software, so that ArcGIS
users are increasingly being confronted with the need to deal with
coordinate systems and projections. Have you, too, wondered why
your data doesn't align or how to convert your data from one UTM
zone to another? This book provides clear, practical answers to
these and many other questions. The emphasis is on how to perform
projections and transformations in ArcGIS as well as when and why
you need to do so. It contains no formulae: the first book of its
kind to do this. Recognizing the need for a book which can bridge
the gap between theory and practice and provide in-depth support
specifically for ArcGIS users, two GIS experts (a geodesist and a
mathematician) took on the challenge. Following its successful
launch in German the book has now been made available to the
English speaking ArcGIS community just as ArcGIS 9 has brought
further important changes in the treatment and availability of
projections and transformations. Working with Projections and Datum
Transformations in ArcGIS contains four practical chapters covering
coordinate system handling, customizing and programming techniques.
The theoretical chapters supply solid background information
without overloading the book. The authors have taken care to ensure
that the complex terminology and conceptual basis of the subject
are clearly explained. Chapter 8 contains Frequently Asked
Questions distilled from practical experience in User Support.
These sections provide quick access to some typical scenarios and
problem solutions. There are many useful tips for general users,
administrators and programmers. The examples involving ArcObjects
and VBA will whet the appetites of both beginners and experienced
programmers to enhance ArcGIS with their own creativity. Thus many
different types of user will find the book a fund of useful
information: General users will value the balance of theoretical
and practical information; software experts will appreciate the
geodetic sections, whilst geodesists will profit from the authors
intimate knowledge of ArcGIS. |
