LANDISVIEW 2.0 : Free Spatial Data Analysis

LANDISVIEW is a tool, developed at the Knowledge Engineering Laboratory at Texas A&M University, to visualize and animate 8-bit/16-bit ERDAS GIS format (e.g., LANDIS and LANDIS-II output maps). It can also convert 8-bit/16-bit ERDAS GIS format into ASCII and batch files. LANDISVIEW provides two major functions: 1) File Viewer: Files can be viewed sequentially and an output can be generated as a movie file or as an image file. 2) File converter: It will convert the loaded files for compatibility with 3rd party software, such as Fragstats, a widely used spatial analysis tool. Some available features of LANDISVIEW include: 1) Display cell coordinates and values. 2) Apply user-defined color palette to visualize files. 3) Save maps as pictures and animations as video files (*.avi). 4) Convert ERDAS files into ASCII grids for compatibility with Fragstats.
