Introducing ArcView - Scripts
Scripts are programs written in AvenueTM, ArcViews programming language and development environment. With Avenue you can customize almost every aspect of ArcView. You can add a new button to the interface or create a complete custom application.
Avenue contains four basic elements:
Objects
a collection of related data and methods for operating on that data (e.g., views, themes, controls, projects, etc.)
Requests
methods that let you create, control or get information about objects (e.g., SetFileName, GetFileName, GetProject, etc.)
Statements
organize the way you send requests to objects (e.g., TheProject.SetFileName(theFname))
Boolean Expressions
are requests that check the true or false status of an object allowing the program to make "decisions"(e.g., if (nil<> theFname) then)
