Most people think GIS is only about “making maps”. But we harness the power of GIS because of the insights ofspatial analysis. We use spatial analysis through math in maps. Spatial analysis is difficult with paper maps so that’s why we need GIS. Here are examples of spatial analysis: ...
All edges within the buffer are added to a penalty tubes list. (2) The cost (here: travel time) of all network edges from the penalty tubes list is scaled up with the penalty factor pf. (3) A shortest path routing (here: Dijkstra algorithm) is carried out between the start and end...
Find proximity using thebuffer tooland near tables. Extract features by selecting,clipping, and splitting features. The buffer is an example of a tool in the analysis tools. When you set a value, it generates a polygon around features at a set distance. Cartography Tools Cartography tools refin...
