Additional Notes

Summary of Possible Future Work Needed:
    • Shapefiles and .dbf tables need to be turned into point event tables in batch mode.
    • Get rid of the requirement that point coverages need x, y to be turned into point event tables.
    • Add a status bar to intensive activities, such as creating a point event table from a point coverage
    • Create a linear event table from a line coverage?
    • Scripts to turn point events and linear events into lat/long or other coordinate system and vice versa.
    • Searching for upstream or downstream point or linear events should work on selected records if they exist (otherwise, search the entire table of events).


    List of Scripts Added for the MassGIS Watershed Analyst Application:

      EventSearch2
      GetTwoPoints
      IntersectLinear
      LinearEventTable
      LinearMeasure
      PointEventTable
      PointToLinear
      RouteMeasure
      SegmentLinear
      Table.LanduseSum
      Table.NPS
      UniqueCheck

      Scripts in the MassGIS Watershed Delineator extension (watdelin.avx):

      AddDelineationThemes
      AddGrid
      AccumWater
      BatchDelineation
      BatchInfo
      ChangeDelinSnap
      Delineate
      DiffPoly

      PolyInfo
      SubtractPoly
      UpstreamWatershed
      watdelin.make
      watdelin.install
      watdelin.uninstall

      Note: The project newriv creates the watdelin.avx.
      The project av30mg2 is the ArcView 3.0a/b library production version.
      The project clip is the ArcView 3.0a/b clip coverage production version.
      The project viewer31 is the ArcView 3.1 library production version.
      The project clip31 is the ArcView 3.1 clip coverage production version.


    Basic Viewer Scripts/Elements that have been modified:
     

      CreateGUIs - was executed to created a new full.odb for interface tools and menus.
      ThemeIDAdd - was modified to read ftrtyp = "point event" or "linear event" from the themeinv.dbf
      ThemeSourceCheck - to currently ignore ftrtyp of "point event" or "linear event"
      Themeinv.dbf was updated to include centerline themes, point and linear event themes.
      FThemeAdd – updated to read grids, and take a list as parameter, so themes could be added but not drawn


    Additional Tables:
     

      Hotlink.dbf – holds info on text or images to be linked to themes
      Multimth.dbf – holds ids of multimouth basins


    Additional Functionality:
     

      GetPoint tool  and GetPoint script – takes point from user click and returns in chosen projection.
