Interpolation

For more practice with Interpolation, check out our short course: Data Interpolation and Extraction 

1. From the Ribbon, click the Analysis tab.
2. In the Geoprocessing group, click the Tools button. A new pane, Geoprocessing, will appear on the right side of the screen. 
3. In the Geoprocessing pane, type Natural Neighbor. 
4. Select Natural Neighbor (Spatial Analyst Tools).
5. Under Input point features, click the drop-down menu and select HSTPoints.
6. Under Z value field, choose Thickness.
7. Under Output raster, change the name to HST_Interp_NN.
8. Click Run.
9. Above the ribbon, on the Quick Access toolbar, click the Save button.

Symbology

For more practice with Symbology, check out our short course: Introduction to ArcGIS Pro

1. Right-click HST_Interp_NN and select Symbology. A new pane, Symbology, will open up on the right side of the screen. From here you can change the symbology settings, which affects how the HST_Interp_NN raster is displayed on the map. Stretched symbology displays continuous raster cell values across a gradual ramp of colors. Classified symbology displays thematic rasters by grouping cell values into classes. 
2. In the Symbology pane, choose Classify from the Primary symbology drop down menu. To change the number or classes, use the drop-down box under Classes. To manually alter the class intervals, double-click the upper values box you would like to edit and enter the new values. To change the color, use the drop-down options under Color Scheme.
3. In the Symbology pane, choose Stretch from the Primary symbology drop down menu. To change the color, use the drop-down options under Color Scheme.
4. Above the ribbon, on the Quick Access toolbar, click the Save button.

Contour

1. Click Analysis> Tools > and in the Geoprocessing table, type Contour. Select Contour (Spatial Analyst Tools).
2. From the Input raster drop-down menu, select HST_Interp_NN.
3. Under Output polyline features, name the feature HST_Interp_NN_Contour.
4. Under Contour interval type 10.
5. Leave the Base contour as 0. In other projects you may want to look at the HST_Interp_NN raster range to determine from what value you would want the contour intervals to begin from.
6. Leave the Z factor as 1. However, if you were using a different thickness than feet, you would want to input the foot to ____ conversion factor here.
7. Click Run.
8. Above the ribbon, on the Quick Access toolbar, click the Save button.

Importing Excel Data

1. Open the IGOR - master list.xlsx sheet.
2. Save the excel sheet to your folder, ensuring that you are saving it as a .xlsx type.
3. Under the Analysis tab, click Tools and search for “Excel to Table”. Select the Excel to Table geoprocessing tool.
4. For Input Excel File, select the IGOR - master list.xlsx sheet in your Playmapping folder.
5. Label the Output Table as GIS_Wells
6. Ensure that the Sheet section displays GIS_Wells. This ensures that the GIS_Wells sheet will be the data converted to a table in ArcGIS. Click Run.
7. In the Contents tab, right click the GIS_Wells Table and click Display XY Data.
8. Ensure that the X Field states longitude and the Y Field states latitude. Name the Layer GIS_Wells. For Spatial Reference, use the dropdown menu to select Current Map [Map]. The Spatial Reference should now be GCS_North_American_1927. Click Run.
9. Zoom to the GIS_Wells Layer if you are unable to see the points.
10. Right click GIS_Wells and click Label.
11. Open GIS_Wells1 Label Properties. Go to the Labels Class tab and under Class > Expression, clear the Expression code. Under Fields, double click api_number. Click apply.
