C-CAP Data Handler


For users with Spatial Analyst and without the ArcView 3.2a patch

The C-CAP Data Handler extension makes use of Spatial Analyst functionality to enhance the user's ability to access and manipulate C-CAP land cover and change analysis data.

The C-CAP Data Handler extension for ArcView:

  • requires the Spatial Analyst extension
  • imports C-CAP data and converts to grid
  • applies standard C-CAP legend
  • clips grid to a shapefile or buffer
  • generates statistical change table
  • analyzes groups of related pixels
  • compares land cover changes in specified classes
  • will not function if the ArcView® 3.2a patch is installed (to find out if you have the 3.2a patch installed on your machine, or for additional information about the patch and this ArcView extension, see "C-CAP Data Handler and ArcView 3.2a Patch.")

For users without Spatial Analyst and the 3.2a patch, the Center has developed the C-CAP Legend Handler extension for ArcView. For a side-by-side comparison of the C-CAP Data Handler and the C-CAP Legend Handler view the C-CAP Extension Comparison Sheet.
