ArcView Spatial Analyst Scripts and Extension Tools

In addition to ModelBuilder, ArcView Spatial Analyst includes several scripts and extensions that are installed in the Samples subdirectory under the ArcView installation directory. These tools include

• Cell Tools (grid cell properties)
• Hydrologic Modeling (hydrological analysis)
• Visibility Tools (visibility analysis)
• Warp Environment (grid georeferencing)

You can find more information about the use of these tools by opening the ArcView online help and selecting Extensions from the Contents tab. Then open the Spatial Analyst book and click Sample scripts and extensions. There are also a number of sample ArcScripts that have been developed by ESRI and members of the ArcView user community for use with ArcView.

These extension tools provide a graphical interface to ArcView Spatial Analyst functionality not found in the standard interface:

• Cost Distance Grid Tools (weighted distance analysis).
• Grid Generalization Tools (morphological functions).
• Grid Transformation Tools (tools for geometrically transforming grid data).
