Design and implement the fishnet tools

[jjr8]

For a research project, we need a tool that can generate fishnets as ArcGIS polygons. Major requirements are:

• Must be able to specify fishnet location and cell size

• Must be able to count points in fishnet cells

• Must be able to generate a fishnet automatically given a point feature class

• Must be able assign the fishnet cell ID to each intersecting point

• Must be able to test whether points in fishnet cells appear to be randomly distributed in both space and time (Michelle Sims is developing R code for this)

• Must be able to generate a time series stack of fishnets

• Must be able to generate stack of fishnets based on values of points' fields, and assign each point to the fishnet that has matching fields

[jjr8]

Implemented in [127], which will eventually be released in MGET 0.4a1.

Everything has been implemented except this:

• Must be able to test whether points in fishnet cells appear to be randomly distributed in both space and time (Michelle Sims is developing R code for this)

A new ticket will be opened for this work.
