Model Librarian
This dialog consists of a file name part which displays all the existing script models. It also contains options to edit, delete, or run the script models. These models have all been created with theSpatial Modeler Language — they are NOT graphical models.

NOTE: Do NOT try to edit graphical models with this function—use Model Maker to edit graphical modelsThis dialog is opened when you click Model Librarian from theSpatial Modeler dialog.
Model Library:
Use this file name part to select a script model. The default file extension is .mdl.Library Functions:
These options enable you to edit or delete the selected model.Edit... Click to edit the selected script model. The IMAGINEText Editor will display.
Delete Click to delete the selected model from the system.

Vector
This dialog enables you to define avector object in the Model Maker.
This dialog is opened when you double-click a vector graphic that has been placed on theModel Maker page or when you select Edit | Properties from the Model Maker menu bar with a vector object selected.
Select an:
Click on the popup list button to select vector data that is in either an Arc/Info coverage or an annotation layer.Arc/Info Coverage Annotation Layer
Vector Layer Name:
Use the file name part to enter the file to use or click on theFile Selector button. The default file extension is for an annotation layer is .ovr and for an Arc/Info Coverage is .arcinfo.Prompt User for File at Run Time
Click to select a file at the time the model is executed. Do not specify a file in the current dialog. A new dialog to select a file is displayed when the model is executed.Feature Type: Click on the popup list button to select the feature type to be rasterized from a vector coverage. This option is enabled only when vector coverages are being used, not with annotation layers.
POLYGON Select this feature to rasterize polygon attributes.
LINE Select this feature to rasterize line attributes.
POINT Select this feature to rasterize point attributes.
Rasterize To:
Click on the popup list button to choose to rasterize the vector to Memory Only or to a Temporary File.Memory Only This selection specifies that the vectors or annotation are rendered tile by tile into memory without using any temporary disk space.
Temporary File This selection specifies that the entire vector coverage or annotation layer are to be rasterized into a temporary file
Cell Size:
Use this group to specify the cell size of the rasterized output image.Use: Select either Default or Specify.
Vector
Default Use the default cell size of the model. See the description ofSet CELLSIZE in the Spatial Modeler Language Manual.
Specify Click this radio button to specify the output cell size and units.
X: Select the X cell size of the output image. This option is disabled unless Specify is selected above.
Y: Select the Y cell size of the output image. This option is disabled unless Specify is selected above.
(units) Select cell size units from this popup list. This option is disabled unless Specify is selected above.
Processing Window:
This group lets you select a subset of the input data to use for processing.From Inquire Box Click to define a subset area of the data by using the ViewerInquire Box. When you click this button, the coordinates below are updated with the coordinates of the cursor box in the Viewer.
To change these coordinates, you can move and/or resize the cursor box in the Viewer, then click this button again.
The image you are using and the inquire box must already be displayed in a Viewer in order to use the From Inquire Box option. Otherwise, you may manually enter coordinates in the fields below.
UL X: Upper Left X coordinate.
UL Y: Upper Left X coordinate.
LR X: Lower Right X coordinate.
LR Y: Lower Right Y coordinate.
Cell Value:
Specify a selected attribute or set up a custom recode to be used for the grid cell values.Vector
Declare as: Click on the popup list button to indicate the data type to use for the input file.
This setting overrides the actual data type of the input file.
For example, if the input file is integer and you want to perform floating point calculations in the model, simply declare the input as Float here.
Binary Click to set the input file to binary format.
Integer Click to set the input file to integer format.
Float Click to set the input file to floating point format.
Area of Interest: This group lets you select an area of interest to use for processing.
Choose AOI... Click to select an AOI (area of interest) in the image to which to apply this function. TheChoose AOI dialog is opened.
