ArcGIS ExtensionsWith ArcGIS extensions, both ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Server users can add capabilities to their system and create applications leveraging advanced features.A wide-ranging suite of optional extensions ArcGIS Desktop dramatically expands the functional capabilities of ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo with specialized GIS tools such as raster geoprocessing and three-dimensional analysis. Extension products for ArcGIS Desktop are engineered with a common architecture and a shared extension model. One of the key benefits of this shared extension model is the ability to operate the same ArcGIS extensions across the line of desktop products, significantly reducing acquisition, training, and operating costs. Optional extensions for ArcGIS Server add capabilities to the core system and allow users to expand their server-based GIS to include raster analysis, three-dimensional GIS functions, network applications, and easily use and distribute data in many formats. |
