Getting Started with Arcinfo 8

Version 8 of the popular ArcInfo GIS software has been completely reengineered -- including the user interface, the developer tools, and the introduction of object-oriented data models. This book guides experienced users who are making the switch to version 8 and ArcInfo beginners through the new features of this software, and gets them doing real work. The sample data that comes with ArcInfo 8 is used in the explanations and exercises that illustrate how to use the new desktop interface, organize project data, prepare data for analysis, and present the results of analysis.
