Introduction
This page contains a brief introduction to the ArcGIS software. A number of ArcGIS tasks which are repeatedly used in creating a TUFLOW model are described below, each of these has a separate page. If you have any suggestions to be included in these pages, please add them to the discussion page. Please add ArcGIS Suggestions Here!.
Shapefile Naming Conventions
In these ArcGIS shapefiles different object types (points, lines and regions) are stored in separate files. When TUFLOW outputs in shapefile format, each file ends in:
- _P to indicate a point file;
- _L to indicate a line file; or
- _R to indicate a region (polygon) file.
Basics
This section outlines some basic GIS functions that are regularly used in creating TUFLOW models using ArcGIS.
