i Insensa-GIS

Documentation

Documentation lives in three places: the in-app help (shipped with every Insensa-GIS distribution), the static help website, and the source repositories on Bitbucket.

In-app help

Insensa ships a JavaHelp-based viewer with full documentation of every connection, info reader, importer and exporter. Open it from inside the application via Help → Documentation.

Help website

The same content is rendered as a static HTML site, indexed and browsable directly:

Reference topics

  • Getting started — first project, first connection, first analysis.
  • Connections — Indexation, Mean, StandardDeviation, Pearson and Spearman correlations, ThresholdVolatility, CoefficientOfVariation, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Addition.
  • Information readers — extract values, attribute tables and statistics from rasters.
  • Plugins — install, use, and develop new plugins. See /plugins.

Tutorials

Step-by-step walkthroughs of typical workflows live under the help website's tutorials section. A new tutorial covering the MaxEnt species-distribution pipeline using the r-climate-import, r-gbif-occurrence-data, and r-maxent-sdm plugins is in preparation.
