The home directory is H drive. Labs can be saved in the J or M drive: J:isishtmlcourses2008springgeog370006studentshnichola or M:/students/hnichola.Name: Nicholas Holcomb 10/10Email Address: [email protected]) Where will you find the data for the labs? (Tell me the full path) Double click the My Computer icon. Click on the J: drive, then isis, then html, then courses, then 2008spring, then geog, then 370, and then 006. There will be a folder labeled “data” that will have all the date for the labs.2) Print screen of AFS ACL. Crop and expand box so that instructor can read the text of the box! +13) What is the drive letter of your home directory (i.e., your ATN home directory, not your GEOG 370 class directory)? Where do you save your labs? The home directory is H drive. Labs can be saved in the J or M drive: J:\isis\html\courses\2008spring\geog\370\006\students\hnichola\ or M:/students/hnichola.4) If you were working on a computer in an ATN lab and wanted to save your work to a location where only you and no one else could see it, where should you save it?Save private work in H:\private5) If you had a webpage at UNC, what would be the URL for your web page?http://www.unc.edu/hnichola/ would be my URL. 6) Print screen of step 7 in the trip to San Francisco exercise. 7) What is a layer? According to ESRI a layer is a collection of thematically similar geographic features (such as rivers, lakes, counties, or cities) that share the same geographic extent, coordinate system, and attributes. In ArcGIS, a layer references geographic data stored in a data source, such as a geodatabase feature class, and defines how to display the data.8) What is a feature? According to ESRI a feature is a representation of a real-world object on a map. Features can be represented in a GIS as vector data (points, lines, or polygons) or as cells ina raster data format. To be displayed in a GIS, features must have geometry and locational information.9) Describe the difference between large and small scale, including the level of detail and example ratios.Large or small scale refers to the size of the representative fraction of the scale. The smaller the scale the more detail a map will have. Hypothetically, a scale of 1:1 would provide exact details.A large scale covers a small area in more detail; examples are a map of city streets or a building plan1:200,000A small scale covers a large area in less detail; example is a world map1:80,000,000-110) What are the two views in ArcMap and what can you do within each one?The two views are data view and layout view. According to ESRI data view is used to explore, edit, query, analyze, and symbolize data. In layout view, you arrange data frames and add other map elements, such as scale bars, titles, and legends, to create a map layout that can be publishedin print or digital
