Looking for a programing willing to work with me to build a series of geospatial tools which will work with ArcMap as an installed ArcMap extension. The first tool is a tool that will look at a directory or multiple directories where raster data resides and create a usable layer file and index of the raster data which can be loaded into ArcMap with 'Add Data'. This tool needs to firstly support the raster data type of a geotiff, then all other Open Geospatial Consortium data types. Features are:
Rapid map index creation from RPF data in any directory structure.
Create and work with map indexes in ArcMap.
Add new RPF data to existing indexes - most recent data is automatically selected for the index.
WireFrame and product controls conveniently locaed in the ArcMap Table of Contents.
Selection tools for custom selection of map product coverage areas.
Integrate ArcMap 'identify' tool for viewing crucial RPF metadata.
Indexing process can utilize PRF '[login to view URL]' files for optimal indexing.
Uses existing data structure; does not reformat RPF data.
