What Geoprocessing
Geoprocessing is the processing of geographic information
Commonly used to describe a process when geographic objects are manipulated to create a new dataset
Many examples of geoprocessinghellip
Common Examples
Buffer Overlay analysis of vectorsrasters Interpolation Slope Aspect from DEMs MapGrid algebra Hydrologic analysis Classification
Not-so-Common Examples
Geocoding Converting between file formats Projecting Select and export Zonal statistics Proximity analysis Editing
What is Geoprocessing
So itrsquos just about everything Well not reallyhellip
Geoprocessing is not cartography 2-D and 3-D symbolization numerical statistics querys labeling and annotation GDB schema metadata
A few noteshellip
Geoprocessing is just beginning in the 3-D world and will likely increase
Temporal modeling Significant improvements in 9x Incorporated into SA ModelBuilder 3-D
Solar radiation model into Framework Process-oriented GIS (not by ESRI)
Geoprocessing in ArcGIS
Focus on ArcGIS Desktop applications
Wersquoll use ArcMap
Wersquoll use ArcInfo Desktop

MergeAppend
MergeAppend operation ndash two or more layers

only appended
Dissolve
Dissolve operation ndash one layer process1048713 Aggregate features by value of attribute when it is the same1048713 Creates new data source or feature classExample1048713 Landuse Level 2 to Level 11048713 Parcels based on ownership
Dissolve
Dissolving features - simplify the data based on common attribute values
Buffer
Buffers are rings drawn around features at a distance
1048713 By distance or attribute value
1048713 All features or only selected features
1048713 Outside within multiple rings
1048713 New layer or graphic

Important
The output from the GeoProcessing operation will be in the same coordinate system as the Data Frame irrespective of the coordinate system of the data sources of the input layers
