ArcGIS数据显示、查询与统计分析实际操作.pptVIP

Why do you need a selection? You may have several reasons why you would make a selection, including: ? Using the selected set for further analysis ? Using the selected set to select other features ? Editing the selected set ? Creating a new layer from the selected set (Working with a subset is faster than including  the entire set.) ? Calculating statistics for the selected set ? Creating a report ? Exporting the selected set to a separate file ? Converting features to a graphic format Available selection tools There are four ways to select graphics in ArcMap: interactively, by attribute, by location, and by graphics.

Select by attributes With this option you can write a selection statement. The search is done on the records in the feature attribute table based on the selection criteria typed in the selection statement. Because all features are linked to their respective records in the feature attribute table, ArcMap will be able to select the features based on their attributes. Select by location Here, features from a certain layer can be selected by features from another. This is considered a spatial query tool. Select by graphics Features are selected based on their relationship to a graphic or graphics you create through the Draw toolbar (e.g., a polygon or line). The same selection options apply when you select by graphics as when you use the interactive selection method. Other features in this selection menu include controlling which layers will be considered in the s
