Dear list,
<br>
<br>
I am very pleased to announce that LANDISVIEW Beta 1.0 (with a User
Guide) is now available for you to free download at our website:
<br>

<br>
<b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>LANDISVIEW<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> 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. It can also
convert 8-bit/16-bit ERDAS GIS format maps into ASCII and batch files. <br>
<br>
LANDISVIEW* provides two major functions:
<br>
<br>
1) File Viewer: Files can be viewed sequentially and an output can be
generated as a movie file or as an image file.
<br>
2) File converter: It will convert the loaded files for compatibility
with 3^rd party software, such as Fragstats.
<br>
<br>
Some available features of <b class="moz-txt-star"><span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>LANDISVIEW<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>
include: 1) Display cell coordinates and values.
<br>
2) Apply user-defined color palette to visualize files.
<br>
3) Save maps as pictures and animations as video files (*.avi).
<br>
4) Convert ERDAS files into ASCII grids for compatibility with
Fragstats, a widely used spatial analysis tool.
<br>
<br>
Please feel free to check it out. We plan to continue to improve
LANDISVIEW based on your feedback. We look forward to learning your
thoughts about it. <br>
Please email me (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"

suggestions (or any bugs you find)! Thank you.
<br>
