                This Final Report describes the existing system, lists
           the products purchased with the.grant, summarizes the
           methodology used in the production procedure and lists the
           final products being submitted.




           EXISTING SYSTEM

                A Sun Sparcstation 1+ with a 105MB internal hard disk
           and one 327MB external hard disk with a 1/4 inch tape drive
           was in place prior to the Grant, running ARC/INFO.




           GRhNT PURCHhSED EQUIPMENT

                Two Artecon 669MB hard disk drives in a dual bay were
           purchased and installed for the extensive data storage and an
           optical CD-ROM obtained and installed to read in programs and
           other prewritten data. A Hewlett Packard PaintJetXL Printer
           with HPGL2 language cartridge and a Hewlett Packard
           Draftmaster RX Pen Plotter with HPGL2 were purchased to print
           and plot documents and maps at various sizes and scales.

                An Ethernet card with miscellaneous cabeling and
           hardware to link the Sparcstation 1+ to a 386 PC were
           purchased and installed.

            PRODUCTION METHODOLOGY

            - Directories were made and coverage types defined.
            - Line and shadetypes were defined.
            - Additional attributes were defined.
            - Coverages were made beginning with entering location data
              in State Plane Coordinates (NAD27), absolu   'te.values..
            - Shorelines were digitized in inches, from our hardcopy
              @naps, by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS)
              in a cooperative effort.
            - The digitized shoreline was transformed into State Plane
              Coordinates.
            - Coverages were built and data attribute fields were
              created.
            - Lease records were added to the appropriate attribute
              tables.
            - Screen and hardcopy maps were created from initial
              coverages.
            - Some adjustments in symbol types and attribute fields
              were made after viewing map compositions.
            - Various Arc Macro Language (AML) programs were written
              throughout to simplify the coverage creation and
              manipulation process.




            GRANT PRODUCTS
            Four maps with up  to six coverage layers were created.
            -  Two illustrations of these 4 maps were plotted on 24 inch.
               by 36 inch paper at 1:10000 scale, and attached as
               Appendix A (8 sheets).
            -  The two illustrations of each of the    4 maps were also
               plotted on 8k by 11 inch paper on the PaintJet XL printer
               at 1:24000 scale.      Text and symbols were adjusted to fit
               the smaller map. 4 copies of each are attached as
               Appendix B (32 sheets).
            -  A document entitled "Procedure Used to Create Map
               Coverages,- VMRC Oyster Leasing Maps - in ARC/INFO"     was
               produced.to show step by,step procedures used to create
               coverages and attribute table definitions. This is
               attached as Appendix C. (4 copies)
            -  All coverages were "exported" in ARC/INFO to 1/4 inch
               tape. one tape is being handed to Adam Frisch, COE.,

           INTRODUCTION

                This document covers the steps taken to create ARC/INFO
           coverages of 4 maps used in the VMRC, FMD, Engineering/
           Surveying's Oyster Leasing program.
                Shoreline coverages were obtained from VMRC mylar base
           maps (1:5000 scale), digitized by Virginia Institute of
           Marine Science in inches. These digitized coverages were
           converted to State Plane Coordinates by VMRC with ARC/INFO.
           All other coverages were entered by VMRC as State Plane
           Coordinate (NAD 1927) absolute values using ARC/INFO/COGO.
           These coverages include oyster leases, legal boundaries,
           Baylor (public) ground legal boundaries, management areas
           (shell and seed plant delineation), survey control
           monumentation, navigation aids, and a map border.
                Attribute data was added for display and plotting
           purposes to show lease types, management types, Baylor
           grounds, land, and water. Also, linetypes were encoded for
           the above types. In addition symbol types were encoded for
           survey monumentation and navigation aids. Name, platfile
           numbers and lease numbers as well as record areas and actual
           calculated areas of leases were added.
                This report and associated data is the result of a pilot
           grant project.

            STEP BY STEP PROCEDURES


                 The following are detailed procedures explaining how
            each coverage was produced for each map. Coverages produced
            include leases, baylor, mng, navaids, shore27, stations,
            border, and cleancull. The following pages show the steps
            taken to create the coverages. All current hardcopy 1: 5000
            scale maps are identified by the lower left corner State
            Plane Coordinate value (NAD 1927) with the last three whole
            digits dropped (ex. map corner value 270,000 2540,000 would
            equal map 270-2540). A directory for each map number using
            this same numbering system was created. Coverages are placed
            under each map number. Before creating map coverages line
            type symbols and shade symbols were defined. For a list of
            attributes and symbols used for these coverages see the
            appendices of this document.






                 PROCEDURE  1 - CREATION OF BORDER COVERAGE

                 Step 1.    Set precision to double highest. Create
                            mapcoverage border. Identify TICS-
                            Use State Plane coordinate values starting
                            with the lower left corner and working
                            clockwise around the map corners.

                 Step 2.    Add Cogo attributes.

                 Step 3.    Build border line.

                 Step 4.    Additem border.aat border.aat linetype 3 3 1

                 Step 5.    calculate linetype = 102

                             from border coverage.

                  Step 2.    Enter oyster lease corners by State Plane
                             coordinate values as labels. Enter edit

            NOTE: For arcplot use carto.lin on pen plotters.
            For plotting on the Hewlett Packard PaintjetXL use vmrc.lin
            and symbol 400. Because the PaintjetXL uses a different
            palette setup, symbol 402 results in a yellow hardcopy
            output. Using vmrc.lin and symbol 400 will result in a
            yellow line on the screen but a blue line on the hardcopy
            output.

            NOTE: For arcplot use carto.shd on pen plotters.
            For plotting on the Hewlett Packard PaintjetXL a lookup (LUT)
            table was created (leases.lut). This was needed because the
            PaintjetXL has a different color palette. Leases.lut was
            created in Info with two items (leasetype and symbol). Both
            items use the same attribute types as leasetype in the
            leases.pat attribute table. Symbol is given a value of 400.
            A shadeset file of vmrc.shd was created and symbol 400
            created. This symbol will plot yellow on the screen but blue
            on hard copy output.

                           Appendix B. Symbol Sets












           For both screen and hard copy plotting purposes (arcplot) a
           number of symbol, shade and marker files were used. For line
           and poly coverages carto.lin should be used. For shading
           poly coverages carto.shd should be used. For point coverages
           plotter.mrk should be used. Due to a different palette
           setup on the Hewlett Packard Paintjetxl a lookup table was
           made for the leases coveraVe. See Appendix A for more
           details. For a complete list of symbol types see the
           ARC/INFO Symbols User Guide. ***** Use caution when plotting
           shaded coverages on a pen plotter since some of the shaded
           areas will take considerable plotting time.
