Dana Tomlin, the father of map algebra. This is unmistakably seen in MFworks command procedures and scripting language. MFworks is thus the ideal companion for teaching and learning Tomlin’s principles of map algebra. MFWorks was featured in a very positive review in the June 2000 edition of GeoEurope as the only raster GIS truly capable of network analysis. I decided to put that statment to the test.

MFworks

Conducting network analysis in MFworks comprises iterative steps that lead to a functioning network. These steps will convert map layers with square cells into linear elements that are linked together as lines,

Traditionally, network analysis, path finding and route planning have been the domain of graph theory and vector GIS, which is where most algorithms find their application. Contrary to such common wisdom, the research of this thesis for the Msc in GIS explores the topic of network analysis in raster GIS, using MFworks as example software.

Book Review: This is where raster GIS started…

Posted on by

Tomlin is a must to any academic student of GIS, since much or nearly all work on raster GIS springs off from Tomlin’s work….well not really, but Geographic Information Systems and Cartographic Modeling by Tomlin sparked the scientific interest in it.
