72-412: ArcGIS is a family of client , server and online geographic information system (GIS) software developed and maintained by Esri . ArcGIS was first released in 1982 as ARC/INFO , a command line-based GIS. ARC/INFO was later merged into ArcGIS Desktop , which was eventually superseded by ArcGIS Pro in 2015. Additionally, ArcGIS Server is a server-side GIS and geodata sharing software. Prior to
144-458: A geoprocessing environment that allows execution of traditional GIS processing tools (such as clipping, overlay, and spatial analysis) interactively or from any scripting language that supports COM standards. Although the most popular of these is Python , others have been used, especially Perl and VBScript . ArcGIS 9 includes a visual programming environment, similar to ERDAS IMAGINE 's Model Maker (released in 1994, v8.0.2). The Esri version
216-455: A table of contents on the left and the data frames which display the map. Items in the table of contents correspond with layers on the map. ArcToolbox contains geoprocessing, data conversion, and analysis tools, along with much of the functionality in ArcInfo. It is also possible to use batch processing with ArcToolbox, for frequently repeated tasks. ArcScene is an application which allows
288-414: A "file geodatabase", a "personal geodatabase", or an "enterprise geodatabase" (formerly known as an SDE or ArcSDE geodatabase). Introduced at 9.2, the file geodatabase stores information in a folder named with a .gdb extension. The insides look similar to that of a coverage but is not, in fact, a coverage. Similar to the personal geodatabase, the file geodatabase only supports a single editor. However, unlike
360-505: A . However, maintaining the validity of this equation means that while the result of a%b is, as expected, in the half-open interval [0, b ), where b is a positive integer, it has to lie in the interval ( b , 0] when b is negative. Python provides a round function for rounding a float to the nearest integer. For tie-breaking , Python 3 uses round to even : round(1.5) and round(2.5) both produce 2 . Versions before 3 used round-away-from-zero : round(0.5)
432-510: A .loc file extension. In ArcGIS 8.3 and previous versions, an address locator was called a geocoding service. ArcGIS Mobile and ArcPad are products designed for mobile devices. ArcGIS Mobile is a software development kit for developers to use to create applications for mobile devices, such as smartphones or tablet PCs . If connected to the Internet, mobile applications can connect to ArcGIS Server to access or update data. ArcGIS Mobile
504-475: A 2 gigabyte size limit. Enterprise (multi-user) geodatabases sit on top of high-end DBMS such as PostgreSQL , Oracle , Microsoft SQL Server , IBM Db2 and Informix to handle database management aspects, while ArcGIS deals with spatial data management. Enterprise level geodatabases support database replication , versioning and transaction management, and are cross-platform compatible, able to run on Linux , Windows , and Solaris . Also released at 9.2
576-419: A certain type. Python does not support tail call optimization or first-class continuations , and, according to Van Rossum, it never will. However, better support for coroutine -like functionality is provided by extending Python's generators . Before 2.5, generators were lazy iterators ; data was passed unidirectionally out of the generator. From Python 2.5 on, it is possible to pass data back into
648-648: A combination of reference counting and a cycle-detecting garbage collector for memory management . It uses dynamic name resolution ( late binding ), which binds method and variable names during program execution. Its design offers some support for functional programming in the Lisp tradition. It has filter , map and reduce functions; list comprehensions , dictionaries , sets, and generator expressions. The standard library has two modules ( itertools and functools ) that implement functional tools borrowed from Haskell and Standard ML . Its core philosophy
720-420: A decrease in indentation signifies the end of the current block. Thus, the program's visual structure accurately represents its semantic structure. This feature is sometimes termed the off-side rule . Some other languages use indentation this way; but in most, indentation has no semantic meaning. The recommended indent size is four spaces. Python's statements include: The assignment statement ( = ) binds
792-466: A different unofficial Python implementation, PyPy , continues to support Python 2, i.e. "2.7.18+" (plus 3.10), with the plus meaning (at least some) " backported security updates". Python 3.0 was released on 3 December 2008, with some new semantics and changed syntax. At least every Python release since (now unsupported) 3.5 has added some syntax to the language, and a few later releases have dropped outdated modules, or changed semantics, at least in

Python 2.0 was released on 16 October 2000, with many major new features such as list comprehensions , cycle-detecting garbage collection, reference counting , and Unicode support. Python 2.7's end-of-life was initially set for 2015, then postponed to 2020 out of concern that a large body of existing code could not easily be forward-ported to Python 3. No further security patches or other improvements will be released for it. While Python 2.7 and older versions are officially unsupported,

Python's expressions include: In Python, a distinction between expressions and statements is rigidly enforced, in contrast to languages such as Common Lisp , Scheme , or Ruby . This leads to duplicating some functionality. For example: Statements cannot be a part of an expression—so list and other comprehensions or lambda expressions , all being expressions, cannot contain statements. A particular case

These operators work like in traditional math; with the same precedence rules , the operators infix ( + and - can also be unary to represent positive and negative numbers respectively). The division between integers produces floating-point results. The behavior of division has changed significantly over time: In Python terms, / is true division (or simply division ), and //

Alex Martelli , a Fellow at the Python Software Foundation and Python book author, wrote: "To describe something as 'clever' is not considered a compliment in the Python culture." Python's developers usually strive to avoid premature optimization and reject patches to non-critical parts of the CPython reference implementation that would offer marginal increases in speed at
2016-585: Is 1.0 , round(-0.5) is −1.0 . Python allows Boolean expressions with multiple equality relations in a manner that is consistent with general use in mathematics. For example, the expression a < b < c tests whether a is less than b and b is less than c . C-derived languages interpret this expression differently: in C, the expression would first evaluate a < b , resulting in 0 or 1, and that result would then be compared with c . Python uses arbitrary-precision arithmetic for all integer operations. The Decimal type/class in

2304-688: Is a "container" for holding datasets, tying together the spatial features with attributes. The geodatabase can also contain topology information, and can model behavior of features, such as road intersections, with rules on how features relate to one another. When working with geodatabases, it is important to understand feature classes which are a set of features, represented with points, lines, or polygons. With shapefiles, each file can only handle one type of feature. A geodatabase can store multiple feature classes or type of features within one file. Geodatabases in ArcGIS can be stored in three different ways – as

These models can be executed directly or exported to scripting languages which can then execute in batch mode (launched from a command line), or they can undergo further editing to add branching or looping. On June 26, 2008, Esri released ArcGIS 9.3. The new version of ArcGIS Desktop has new modeling tools and geostatistical error tracking features, while ArcGIS Server has improved performance, and support for role-based security. There also are new JavaScript APIs that can be used to create mashups , and integrated with either Google Maps or Microsoft Virtual Earth . At

The Fraction class in the fractions module provides arbitrary precision for rational numbers . Due to Python's extensive mathematics library, and the third-party library NumPy that further extends the native capabilities, it is frequently used as a scientific scripting language to aid in problems such as numerical data processing and manipulation.

Python 3.12 added the new keyword type . Notable changes in 3.11 from 3.10 include increased program execution speed and improved error reporting. Python 3.11 claims to be between 10 and 60% faster than Python 3.10, and Python 3.12 adds another 5% on top of that. It also has improved error messages (again improved in 3.14), and many other changes. Python 3.13 introduces more syntax for types,

An address locator is a dataset in ArcGIS that stores the address attributes , associated indexes, and rules that define the process for translating nonspatial descriptions of places, such as street addresses, into spatial data that can be displayed as features on a map. An address locator contains a snapshot of the reference data used for geocoding , and parameters for standardizing addresses, searching for match locations, and creating output. Address locator files have

ArcGIS 8.3 was introduced in 2002, adding topology to geodatabases, which was a feature originally available only with ArcInfo coverages. One major difference is the programming (scripting) languages available to customize or extend the software to suit particular user needs. In the transition to ArcGIS, Esri dropped support of its application-specific scripting languages, Avenue and

Python also provides methods, often called dunder methods (due to their names beginning and ending with double-underscores), to allow user-defined classes to modify how they are handled by native operations including length, comparison, in arithmetic operations and type conversion. Python uses duck typing and has typed objects but untyped variable names. Type constraints are not checked at compile time ; rather, operations on an object may fail, signifying that it

In contrast to Perl 's " there is more than one way to do it " motto, Python embraces a "there should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it." philosophy. In practice, however, Python provides many ways to achieve the same task. There are, for example, at least three ways to format

Personal geodatabases store data in Microsoft Access files, using a BLOB field to store the geometry data. The OGR library is able to handle this file type, to convert it to other file formats. Database administration tasks for personal geodatabases, such as managing users and creating backups, can be done through ArcCatalog and ArcGIS Pro . Personal geodatabases, which are based on Microsoft Access, run only on Microsoft Windows and have
