ArcGIS extensions add functionality to ArcView, the GIS engine of the Global Ministry Mapping System. GMMS users may order these extensions through GMI at appreciably reduced cost. A free 30-day evaluation of any extension can be activated within ArcView; GMMS users are encouraged to discuss potentially needed extensions with GMI and to take advantage of the evaluation period before purchasing.
ArcGIS Spatial Analyst
Advanced GIS Spatial Analysis Using Raster and Vector Data
ArcGIS Spatial Analyst provides a broad range of powerful spatial modeling and analysis features. You can create, query, map, and analyze cell-based raster data; perform integrated raster/vector analysis; derive new information from existing data; query information across multiple data layers; and fully integrate cell-based raster data with traditional vector data sources.
ArcGIS 3D Analyst
Three-Dimensional Visualization, Topographic Analysis, and Surface Creation
ArcGIS 3D Analyst enables you to effectively visualize and analyze surface data. Using ArcGIS 3D Analyst, you can view a surface from multiple viewpoints, query a surface, determine what is visible from a chosen location on a surface, and create a realistic perspective image draping raster and vector data over a surface. ArcGIS 3D Analyst also allows your traditional GIS data to be viewed, analyzed, and verified in 3D without having to create additional data.
The ArcGlobe application in ArcGIS 3D Analyst allows you to manage and visualize, from a local or global perspective, extremely large sets of three-dimensional geographic data. ArcGlobe provides the capability to seamlessly interact with any geographic information as data layers on a three-dimensional globe.
ArcGIS Publisher
Share Your Maps With Others
ArcGIS Publisher enables the creation of a published map file (.pmf) format for any ArcMap document. PMFs are used in the free ArcReader application and allow you to share your ArcMap documents with any number of users. The PMF format can also be used to deploy your map over the Web or Intranet through the ArcMap Server extension for ArcIMS.
ArcGIS ArcScan
Raster to Vector converter
ArcGIS ArcScan provides a comprehensive, efficient, and easy-to-use set of tools for raster-to-vector conversion.
Statistical Tools for Data Exploration, Modeling, and Advanced Surface Generation
ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst provides a powerful suite of tools for spatial data exploration and optimal surface generation using sophisticated statistical methods. Through a series of easy-to-use wizards and dialogs, ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst allows you to create a surface from a set of data measurements when collecting information for every possible location would be impractical. Whether improving estimation of temperature values, assessing environmental risks, or predicting the existence of any geophysical element, ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst gives anyone with spatial data the ability to investigate, visualize, and create optimal surfaces.
