CEDRA-GridAQuadrilateralTM



CEDRA GridAQuadrilateralTM is an ArcView® GIS and ArcGIS® extension that is included with all of the CEDRA AVseriesTM software and enables the user to subdivide quadrilaterals by specifying the number of rows and columns that are desired. This is an ideal tool for those involved with quarter-quarter sections or Aliquot parts. For ArcGIS users, the [Aliquot Polygon] command within the CEDRA-Aliquot-Tools toolbar provides additional functionality for transcribing Aliquot descriptions thereby facilitating the generation of polygon features, which represent an Aliquot description.

CEDRA-GridAQuadrilateralTM

CEDRA-GridAQuadrilateralTM is an ArcView® GIS and ArcGIS® extension that enables the user to subdivide a polyline or polygon feature, which represents a four sided figure, by specifying the number of rows and columns. In addition, the user is able to create: (a) point features at the vertices of the polygons, (b) line segments that represent the sides of the polygons and (c) a polyline that represents the outline of the polygon. No duplicate point or line features are created. Every polygon that is created is assigned a unique identification number and carries as attributes its area and perimeter.

The polyline or polygon that is selected for subdividing does not have to form a perfect rectangle, but rather, can represent any four-sided figure (quadrilateral). There is no limit to the number of rows and columns that can be specified.

CEDRA-Aliquot-Tools ToolbarTM

The basic concept in an Aliquot description is to take a large polygon, which typically represents a section in a grid system, and subdivide it one or more times into a smaller polygon by using various combinations of quadrant identifiers such as NE, SE, SW, NW, N2, E2, E2W2 and so forth. The result of one quadrant identifier serves as the starting point for the next quadrant identifier. The [Aliquot Polygon] command within the CEDRA-Aliquot-Tools toolbar provides the user the ability to transcribe or decipher an Aliquot description thereby facilitating the generation of polygon features which are defined in terms of Aliquot quadrant identifiers.

The supported Quadrant Identifiers include the following:

In addition to the Quadrant Identifiers, the user is able to specify any of the Strip Identifiers, North, South, East and West to extract a strip or portion of land from a quadrilateral. When specifying a strip identifier, the user enters a strip width value indicating the amount of land to be extracted.
