Point-based GIS

Throughout the lectures, we've talked about building a Point-based GIS. See if you can draw these elements together to make an analysis tool.

For this project, you could:

Day one: build a basic GIS that works on some hard-wired Points.

Day two: get the Points read in from a data file.

Day One

Build the Point-based GIS from the lectures, and implement a few of the methods and some new ones. For example, implement a method to work out the Euclidian distance between two points using the Pythagorean theorem. Hard wire in a few Point objects in an array to work with.

Day Two

Read the Points from a file, and write the results to a text file.
