Today’s sample shows the new feature available in this may release Map Suite 5 for creating GRID files. A GRID is a raster format that defines a geographic space as an array of equally sized squares (cells) arranged in rows and columns. Each cell stores a numeric value that represents an attribute (such as elevation, surface slope, soil pH etc.) for that unit of space. Each GRID cell is referenced by its x, y coordinate location. Typically a GRID file is created based on some sample points with known values. In today’s sample, we take the example of creating a GRID file based on a point based shapefile representing soil pH values of some sample locations in a field. Using the Inverse Weighted Distance algorithm for interpolation, we create the GRID with the pH value for the entire extent of the field. Look at the code and comments for more details on how GRID files get generated and displayed on the map. This sample is a Desktop application but GRID can be used in all the editions of Map Suite.
