Adding or removing data from projects

Adding data

When you first open a project, you will be asked to import some data for analysis. Additional data can be imported into the project at any time. To add data, choose "Import" from the "Data" menu, choose the type of data you want to add and then follow the import dialogs.

For two different data sets to be analyzed together in BoundarySeer (i.e., used for overlap analysis) they need to cover the same spatial area and be imported in the same projection.

Removing data

You can remove data from a project by choosing "Project" from the main menu, and then choosing "Remove". This will produce a list of the data sets in the project that you could potentially remove.

We do not recommend removing data once you have used it for boundary detection or analysis. In order to generate random boundaries for evaluation of difference boundaries, BoundarySeer requires access to the original data set. The original data are not needed for randomization of cluster boundaries, but to preserve future flexibility in analyses we recommend keeping data in the project.
