FAQs By Jack™
How to handle imagery and GIS data
Dr. Jack Paris has used the TNTgis software for over 16 years. These FAQs accompany a series of Scripts By Jack™ which demonstrate techniques for processing imagery and GIS data with TNT's geospatial scripting language (SML). Jack shares these sample scripts and grants permission to use them without restriction.
These FAQs by Jack describe the underlying theory and fundamentals, and define the names for the parameters, variables, and objects in the scripts.
