To view data set properties, either choose "Properties" from the "Data" menu and then choose the data set from the pull-down list. Alternatively, right-click on a data set in the BoundarySeer project window and choose "Properties."
This section contains the name of the data set, its source file, the date of modification, and its coordinate system. Please note that BoundarySeer converts geographic (latitude-longitude) data to UTM for calculation purposes.
You can change the data set's name by clicking on "Rename."
The lower left box varies for vector and raster data. For vector data, it lists the form of the data (points or polygons) and the number of points or polygons (features) in the data set.
For raster data, you will see information on the height and width of the raster in pixels.
For all data, BoundarySeer lists the number of variables and their labels. You may rename variables by selecting the name you wish to change and then clicking "Rename selected variable."
The lower right box summarizes the data type (numeric or categorical), the missing value code (if you entered one), whether the data set has been standardized, whether the network has been edited (applies to vector point files only), and whether it is a cluster or fuzzy class data set. If the data set contains cluster or fuzzy class data, this box will include details about the clustering or classification process. The "Standardized" box will be checked if you save standardized variables into the original data set, or if you create a new standardized data file.
