GIS5103 Module 3: Debugging and Error Handling

     Module 3 in GIS Programming focused on debugging and handling errors within scripting. We used our previously gathered knowledge in this course to supplement the objective of this lab. We were given (3) separate scripts to determine what is the error in each, how to fix the errors, and we were also given the opportunity to use a try-except statement to allow for a script to run with an error. It might seem like you would want all scripts not to have error -- sometimes we would want to have the script run with that error as an exception, but print the resulting error statement that arises. 

Our results are as follows: 

Script 1: 

Script 1 Results


Script 2:
Script 2 Results

Script 3:
Script 3 Results

In Script 3, we utilized the try-except statement to indicate the error in Part A of this task - see below for a flowchart of the implemented statement: 
Try-except statement flowchart

Part A in Script 3 wanted us to be able to use the try-except statement to allow the script to run and print the error message that stated the problem with the script. Part B in Script 3 was meant to run successfully without error. 

General Notes:
- Notepad++ not same as Notebook.
    Notepad++ is just a text editing software. 

- Traceback error(s) means the script has been sent off to the interpreter and returned.
- Syntax error means not sent to interpreter yet-

GIS5007 Orientation: About Me

  Hello! My name is Abby Starling, and I’m currently in the GIS Graduate Certificate program. I started this program to move into a career shift, as I currently work for a county government doing more admin related items full-time. While my job is fine, it isn't what I envisioned - it is time for a change! Through this program, I hope to gain more understanding in GIS and form a solid foundation for a career in GIS. I took several GIS classes in my undergraduate Geology program at Valdosta State University, but am certainly no pro. In my free time, I always end up playing copious amounts of Stardew Valley.    Abby Starling's Story Map Links to an external site.

GIS 5007 Module 6: Isarithmic Mapping

Image
     Module 6 of Computer Cartography focused on isarithmic mapping and using PRISM (Parameter-elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model) derived data to showcase the annual precipitation of Washington state, USA over a ~30 year period (1981-2010). Originally created by the PRISM Group at Oregon State University, the PRISM system has proved to be a leading system in producing quality precipitation maps. A climate-elevation regression function is calculated in PRISM with consideration of climate variables that may influence the data, such as proximity to coast, atmospheric layer, topography of region, and more. As precipitation tends to increase with elevation, elevation is an included variable in PRISM using a digital elevation model (DEM) and each DEM grid cell has its own climate-elevation regression function calculated within. Annual Precipitation of Washington, USA from 1981-2010      The above isarithmic map depicts the annual precipitation of...

GIS5935 Module 2.1: Surfaces - TINs and DEMs

Image
                In this lab, we explored two types of elevation data models - Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN). The DEM is raster-based and information is stored in grid format, while TIN is vector-based and uses irregularly spaced points that were calculated according to the connections of sets of triangles for contouring. Because of this, the DEM has smoother curves in its contour lines, while TIN has pointed/jagged contour lines. The DEM contour lines in this instance also have a few more lines due to the data parameters.                 The TIN contour lines are likely more accurate, as TIN can differentiate between more complex terrain than DEM contour typically can (depending on resolution). TIN uses irregularly placed elevation points that vary based on data density, but DEM is a grid with elevation values stored within the grid cel...
