ILUDEntr: Entry of field data
This module enables the entry of field data in the database. Screen layout is identical to the field data sheet.
It is possible, to enter data as well as to correct data.

The module is running as a Clipper exe file (in \arcexe\cmd\).

The output is a dbf file LUppFDyy.


ILUDProc: Processing of field data
Main function of this module is the process and calculation of all land use observation points for each mapping unit.
Additionally, it can pre-process ('convert') field data with their classification, in order to re-group or to re-classify them.
And, it can import data of points, which have been digitized and are saved in a LU__DG file.

The module is running as a Clipper exe file (in \arcexe\cmd\).

The output is a dbf file LUppPAyy.


ILUDList: Listing of field data
This module lists field data (land use observation points), which have been entered in the DBMS (with ILUDArc). The can be displayed, printed or transferred to a file in their entity or after selecting specific observation points.
Additionally, it can create correlation matrix (land use polygons vs. land use observation points).
And, it can transfer coordinates of points to GIS for display at the map (followed by ILUDImp).
And, it can produce a write-up of land use descriptions.

The module is running as a Clipper exe file (in \arcexe\cmd\).


ILUDUtil: Utilities for DBMS data
This module handles a number of utilities, repair, data dictionary tools: Backup of data - Merging of annual data to an 'all years' file - Checking of data with quality control checks (10 format data integrity checks) - Fixing of data (when old file structures are being used, or with corrupt index files) - Listing of data dictionaries: Land use, land use classifications, BPS administrative codes - Conversion of coordinates.

The module is running as a Clipper exe file (in \arcexe\cmd\).


ILUDArc: Arc entry
This module enables the digitizing of arcs for line and polygon maps.
It is possible, to set up a new coverage, to digitize arcs and to edit arcs. If an edited coverage is in lat/long, it automatically converts it first to UTM. Backcoverages can be copied to the editing coverage.
For polygon coverages, polygon topology is created; for line coverages, line topology. Checking of label errors, node errors and of lines, which are not polygon boundaries is made.

The module is running in Arc/Info-ArcEdit. (The programs reside in \arcexe\utool\, a batch file in \arcexe\cmd\).

The output is a coverage with topology (PAT or AAT).


ILUDLab: Labeling of polygons and link to DBMS data
Two functions of this module:
a) Assignment of polygons to interpretation codes, or classes ('labeling') is done specifically to the type of map: For land use maps, the interpretation code is entered, for slope maps the slope class, for altitude maps the altitude class etc.
b) After labeling, the labels are linked with the DBMS for full information for each polygon. This is in the case of land use the file LUppPAyy, created by ILUDProc. In all other cases, data files ILUDLAB? are linked in.
Both functions can be run separately.

The module is running in Arc/Info-ArcEdit. (The programs reside in \arcexe\utool\, a batch file in \arcexe\cmd\).

The output is a coverage with topology (PAT or AAT).


ILUDCon: Conversion between different projections
Conversion between UTM, latitude/longitude, and digitizing units can be performed. Correct UTM zone is calculated, topology is maintained (re- assessed).

The module is running in Arc/Info-ArcEdit. (The programs reside in \arcexe\utool\, a batch file in \arcexe\cmd\).

The output is a coverage with topology (PAT or AAT).


ILUDPlt: Plotting
Land use and non-land use maps can be plotted on large-size plotters. Option is given to include (or exclude) topographic features, such as roads, rivers, administrative boundaries etc. Beside plotters, maps can be printed on laser printer, color pinter, transferred to bitmap format (2 approaches, see How to transfer maps to bitmap format).
A large number of error checking and quality control assurances are made: A map which has been plotted with this routine, is guaranteed for clean formal data integrity.
All map marginalia (cover page, location maps, scale bar, impressum etc.) are done automatically.
Supported plot scales are 1:25000, 50000, 100000, 250000, with intermediate scales if plotting by administrative bases is requested, up to size of A0.

The module is running in Arc/Info-ArcPlot. (The programs reside in \arcexe\utool\, a batch file in \arcexe\cmd\).

The output can be an (ESRI) plot file (.plt) or an HP-GL2 plot file (.hgl).


ILUDUtl: Utilities for GIS data
Multi-function kit for GIS data:
Maps can automatically be joined, when selecting a smaller scale.
Maps can be clipped and outer areas will be deleted, which are outside the national grid frame.
Re-print of plots, which have been previously prepared with ILUDPlt is possible, at various sizes, from A1 till A4, as well as on printers.
Maps can be copied for backup, including all existing maps of one map sheet and including the field data in the DBMS.
Maps from other sources with other formats can be transferred to ILUD format.
Map repair tools are available.
House cleaning is possible to delete leftovers from previous unsuccessful attempts.
A location tool helps to find the location of a specific map sheet number. It also shows which map sheets already exist. (Inventory of data).
... and many more utilities ...

The module is running in Arc/Info. (The programs reside in \arcexe\utool\, a batch file in \arcexe\cmd\).


ILUDR2V: (GIS) Create GIS coverages from raster (Erdas) images

Outside areas remain white.
These maps can then be plotted with ILUDPlt.
