The FLoWS toolbox consists of five toolsets: pre-processing; create landscape network; selection; analysis; and export. The pre-processing toolset contains miscellaneous tools that are useful in editing and converting raw datasets into Landscape Networks that can be used by other FLoWS tools. The selection toolset allows interactive queries or selections on Landscape Networks within an ArcMap document. This provides users to create a new selection set that represents upstream or downstream topological relationships that can be summarized or used in further analyses. The analysis toolset allows users to perform graph or network-based analyses. These routines typically populate a user-defined field for a defined Landscape Network feature class. The export toolset evaluates point to point relationships within a Landscape Network and creates a comma delimited n x n matrix of distance values between pairs of locations. Software
environment:
Nearly all tools in FLoWS require only ArcGIS desktop (no extensions). Only two tools (Create RCAs and Fill DEM and Build Flow Direction Raster) require the Spatial Analyst extension. If you are creating a landscape network (which is a personal Geodatabase), an ArcINFO license is required. The other tools (query, selection, analysis, export, etc.) can function with just an ArcView license. Available Downloads: To
download the FLoWS Tools, you will be required to enter some contact
information, provide a valid email address, and agree to some basic terms and
conditions. Once you do that, a login
and password to download the FLoWS Tools.
