RE: [CTPP] Tutorial for CTPP 2000 browser thematic map, shapefile export?

Bryce: After you create your session, click on FILE and EXPORT to a shape file. Please note that the shape fle comes with a DBT file that explains the file headers. Then, you can use your own GIS to make maps in any way you want. The thematic mapping element in the CTPP software is rudimentary, you cannot create thematic maps that normalize by area.

Is there a tutorial available for using the CTPP 2000 browser to conduct some real task? For example, "create a thematic map showing drive alone modeshare by census tract at place of work". When I try I get stuck in the selecting tables stage first (the list of available tables never makes sense), then again at the thematic map step (I can't figure out how to normalize by area, population density or number of workers in the tract). The tutorials on the CD describe only the user interface, not the steps needed to get a real task done. I'm hoping there is a way to export data into shapefile format, so maps can be made in GIS software. Is this possible? Bryce Nesbitt Note: I've found the browser to be slow, prone to crashing, and obtuse. Most annoying is that lots of windows can't be resized, yet one must scroll to read the longer titles. _______________________________________________ ctpp-news mailing list ctpp-news(a)chrispy.net http://www.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/ctpp-news
