Spatial Weights View

The spatial weights sets and cluster sets in your project are held in a special window—the spatial weights and cluster sets view, shown below. When you open STIS, this window will usually not be visible.  To show it, go to the "Window" menu, and click in the area to the left of "Spatial Weights View" to add a check mark.  Its default location is docked below the data view on the left edge of the application window.

Moving and Hiding the Window

You can "undock" the Spatial weights and cluster sets window by clicking on the symbol in the upper right corner, and hide it by clicking on the button.  Undocking allows you to move the window around; if you choose to close the window, you can view it again by checking the box next to "Spatial Weights view" in the "Window" menu.

Right-Click Actions

• Define a new point or polygon spatial weights set by right clicking a geography.

• Import a weights set as a GAL or GWT file by right clicking on a geography.

• Show a weights set in a map by right clicking it. This creates a new map and turns on the view object neighbors for that weights set.

• Edit an existing point or polygon weights set by double clicking its name, or by choosing "Edit" from the right-click menu.

• Duplicate (copy) a spatial weight set.

• Export a weights set as a GAL or GWT file.

• Rename or Remove a weights set.
