How do I use C-CAP data in ArcView?
Through surveys, the Center has found that a majority of its customers use ESRI® ArcView; as a result, the Center facilitates data use through ESRI products. To this end, the Center has developed the C-CAP Data Handler extension for ArcView. Users will be able to download data from this Web site and use the Data Handler to import and manipulate the data. This extension requires ESRI Spatial Analyst® extension and provides a menu-driven set of tools to accomplish the following: • import C-CAP data and convert to GRID • apply the standard C-CAP legend • clip grid to a shapefile or buffer • generate statistical change table • analyze groups of related pixels • compare land cover changes in specific classes A user manual for the Data Handler extension will also be developed. These tools are available for download. For more information about the C-CAP Data Handler, see the “ArcView Extensions” Web page.
