    The document discusses single layer operations in GIS, specifically the clip and dissolve tools. It explains that clip tools are used to extract portions of data within a boundary, while dissolve tools merge boundaries between features. The document then provides a step-by-step example of using the clip tool to extract country boundaries within a drawn polygon, and later using dissolve to merge boundaries between countries based on an added code attribute.

    Single Layer Operations :

    - They deal with only single data layer and processes onlyalter data horizontally on a layer.

    - These operations provide the most fundamental tools of data preparation for spatial analysis.

    - Single layer operations :

    1. Feature manipulation.

    2. Feature Selection.

    3. Feature classifaction.

    1. Feature Manipulation:

    1.1 Boundary operations.


    1.2 Proximity operations.

    - Boundary Operations Tools:

    - Clip :
    It creates a cover which it consist of a portionof the original map.

    - Erase:
    It removes the portion specified by an inter mediate coverage and retains the remainingfeatures of original map.

    - Dissolve:
    It typically used to eliminate unwanted boundariesbetween map features.

    First launch ArcCatalog then create a new Shapefile that called Clip and it is feature is Polygon.

    Exploring GIS 4
    01. Exploring GIS -3

    After that close ArcCatalog and Launch ArcMap.


    Then Add data ( Clip and Country ).

    Exploring GIS 5
    01. Exploring GIS -3

    Then select Clip Layer, and start editing.

    Exploring GIS 6
    01. Exploring GIS -3

    Now draw Polygon shape around areas you want to clip.

    Exploring GIS 7
    01. Exploring GIS -3

    After you create Polygon shape, go to Geoprocessing tab and select Clip for Clip feature.

    Exploring GIS 8

    Now select the Input layer, and then the Clip layer then Ok.

    Now you can see The clipped area that you have made.

    We can also represent it the way that we want.

    If we select attribute table we can see the data of clipped area.

    We can add more data for it as Code.

    Now to make Dissolve for it we start editing.

    Exploring GIS 14
    01. Exploring GIS -3

    Then Add values of Code for each country.

    Exploring GIS 15
    01. Exploring GIS -3

    Then go to Geoprocessing tab and select Dissolve.

    Exploring GIS 16

    And choose the Input Layer, then choose the Dissolved field ( Code ).

    Exploring GIS 17

    As we can see here the boundaries of countries changed and merged by the Code data.
