The boundary properties window provides detailed information about a specific boundary. To access this information, you can either choose "Boundary" from the menu and then choose "Properties", or right-click on a boundary in the project window and choose "Properties."
This section, contains the boundary name and the parent data set. You may rename the boundary by clicking on "Rename."
This section, lower left, displays information about the boundary itself: the type of spatial feature (polygons for cluster data, for wombling data these may be Delaunay triangles, polygon edges, or a number of other feature types depending on the wombling method used).
Next, it lists the number of candidate boundary elements (cBEs), followed by the number of Boundary Elements (BEs) found in the data set. For rasters, it also lists the size of the raster (height x width).
Finally, the last item is the set of parent variables used to create the boundary. If the variable is followed by "STD," it was standardized before analysis.
This section, bottom right, contains details of the boundary analysis procedure. Besides the type (crisp or fuzzy), the specific method will be presented, as well as a listing of all of the parameters.
For a review of the steps in creating boundaries, see individual boundary detection methods, such as wombling, location uncertainty, and spatially constrained clustering.
