- Geometry operations
- Project data
Aggregate and normalize
Uncover patterns in large datasets by applying filters, simplifying, aggregating, and enriching data. This scenario compares the density of electric alternate fueling stations to population by state.
- Apply a SQL filter to just show electric alternate fuel stations.
- Aggregate alternate fuel stations into state boundaries.
- Enrich states with population data from the ArcGIS World GeoEnrichment service.
- Visualize the total number of alternate fueling stations normalized with population.
Intersect and extract
Perform powerful spatial operations such as point-in-polygon, line-crosses-polygon, or polygon-is-within-polygon to find data that matches your criteria. This scenario explores the value of land parcels extracted for an area in southwestern Colorado.
Buffer and route
Combine buffer, distance, and network analysis to solve complex routing problems. This scenario explores the accessibility of ski resorts in Colorado from the Denver airport.
- Use the network analysis tools with the ArcGIS World Directions service to determine all resorts within a 100 mile drive from the airport.
- Buffer a 50 mile and 100 mile circle around the airport for reference.
Pattern analysis
Identify, quantify, and find visual spatial patterns in your data. This scenario identifies patterns of car theft in San Fransico.
- Extract car theft data from the San Francisco Open Data site.
- Filter data to only display 2017 data.
- Enrich data with population per block group.
- Perform hot spot analysis to find geographic patterns.
Geometry operations
Use the Geometry Engine (client-side) and the Geometry Service (server-side) to perform advanced geometric and spatial relationship operations on points, lines, and polygons. This scenario creates buffers around hurricane tracks and then calculates the intersecting area and shoreline distance impacted.
Hurricane: Buffer Distance:Project data
View, project, and perform spatial analyses on your data in any coordinate system with the Geometry Engine (client-side) and the Geometry Service (server-side). This scenario illustrates how you can apply geographic and projected coordinate systems to your data.
