Summary
Nearest Neighbor 3.6
by Johannes Weigel
ECOGIS Geomatics

Nearest Neighbor by Johannes Weigel (mail@ecogis.de) is a tool to find the nearest neighbors (spatial distance) of a shape theme in another shape theme.

New in latest Versions:

-2.0:
You can search for more than 1 Neighbor
You can sort the Neighbors not only by their distance but also by x- or y-coordinates (ascending/descending)
The old version is included because it's faster for simple analysis jobs

-3.0:
You can work with themes in a view now, not only with files. Active themes can be manipulated directly without destroying their theme tables.
You can work with selections now (find nearest neighbors to selected records).

-3.1:
Mark Freeman, National Soil Resources Institute (NSRI), Cranfield University (UK), fixed a bug concerning the additional attributes which had not been added correctly.

-3.2:
No coordinate fields required anymore; works with any shapefile from disk or ftheme from view
Several bugfixes, e.g. trouble with identical field names

-3.3:
Minor bugfixes

-3.4:
Calculation of distances with projected data in geographic coordinate system enabled! Spherical distances (orthodromes) can be calculated.

-3.5:
Calculation of distances from edge to egde of two feature themes enabled!

-3.6:
- Fixed a bug in point distance calculation

Installation:

- Just copy nearestneighbor3.avx to your $AVEXT-directory (e.g. c:\esri\arcview\av_gis30\ext32).
