I have over 11 years in the geospatial industry. I primarily use ArcGIS, MapInfo, and FME. But I'm interested in learning QGIS and GRASS. I'm also in the process of honing my Python skills.

comment How to create a Human Trafficking Heatmap in QGIS?
Just curious, how did you get this data? Is it collected by police?

comment GIS Database Migration Project (Oracle to ArcGIS)
thanks for the info. It's helped regarding how much time to estimate. The client isn't entirely clear on what they want or need. I don't have the help of an Oracle guru, so this will make things a bit difficult for me.

comment How to Count Features in a Feature Type in FME?
I had actually tried this and it was working but not outputting the fme_feature_type, just the count. I tried exposing the attribute but it wasn't working. In the end, I manually added fme_feature_type as a user attribute and it worked, even though I had already added it in the Format Attributes. It's working now and this was the best approach. Thanks.

comment GIS Database Migration Project (Oracle to ArcGIS)
can you go into a bit more about the documentation you created first? We were given two weeks but had issues with their database first, so really, we have a week remaining. And I'm the only one working on it. I'm thinking that's pretty unfeasible.

comment Can shapefiles be converted to .TAB files?
@whuber, depends on your definition of "Native". MapInfo will open the file and you can read it and query it, however, it doesn't allow you to edit it unless you convert it to TAB.

comment Field Calculator Does not Work in Arc10
Do you have rows selected? If so, it will only calculate the selected rows. Try removing the selection and try again.

You might also want to check that the field type is valid for the calculation you are performing.

comment MapInfo: change of fill pattern of thematic legend in layout window not possible
Can you provide a bit more background as to how you're changing it? I'm using 11.5.1 and I have no trouble changing the border of my legend. I just use the Region Style tool and it works fine.

comment How to remove spikes in polygons with ArcGIS 10/Python?
If you can get access to FME, the SpikeRemover tool can do what you're after. Not really the solution you asked for, but it'd be quick.

Could also be a typo for "map" which would be relevant for a GIS job.

comment ENVI to map composition
The OP was not asking about mosaicking. They want to print 6 images of the same location on one page to show changes over the years.

comment How to convert jpg file to shapefile?
Are you sure the features you require are not available for download somewhere online? Often roads, rivers, cities, etc are freely available for download. You could save yourself a lot of time this way.

comment Automatically build branches of a river network?
Your question seems to have changed significantly since you originally posted. My answer doesn't seem relevant anymore. Perhaps you should "unaccept" it if it doesn't provide you with the answer you want.
