ArcView GIS/Avenue Programmer's Reference: Class Hierarchy Quick Reference and 101 Scripts

Develop simple to sophisticated scripts with the ArcView GIS/Avenue Programmer's Reference. For the professional who is somewhat experienced with Avenue, the Programmer's Reference is an indispensable tool for saving time and writing flawless, elegant scripts. The first half of the book is an Avenue class quick reference:you no longer need to jump between pages of the online help system to gather crucial elements to an Avenue request. If you find it impractical to memorize (or look up) hundreds of Avenue classes and requests, this book is for you. The concise alphabetical listing of the class library contains class inheritance information, class request and instance request descriptions, request options, and enumerations. The second half of the book is devoted to over 100 scripts covering the complete range of Avenue functionality. Examples are manipulation of Views, FThemes, IThemes, Tables, VTabs, and FTabs; script management; GUI management; and project production documentation. For each major element of a project, a documentation script is provided that can produce ASCII or HTML output (hypertext mark up language for the World Wide Web).

There are currently 200,000 copies of ArcView GIS in use worldwide, making it one of today's leading GIS applications. Because use of GIS as a decision-making tool is growing, and the GIS community is becoming increasingly sophisticated, the beginning programming audience is expanding rapidly.
