Subject: [gislist] nearest neighbour in ArcView 3.x
Date:  12/17/2003 09:35:01 AM
From:  RICK GRAY



Hello fellow list readers,

I have downloaded and used Jeff Jenness's great utility for finding the
nearest neighbour (http://jennessent.com/arcview/nearest_features.htm).
It is simply amazing. However, I need something that goes one step
beyond. Does anyone know if there is something that will actually select
the nearest n points, so that they can be converted to a new shapefile?
(Jeff - is this a possible enhancement?)

My use is this: I want to divide up a network of weather monitoring
locations into groups of 40-50 so that each service tech has a
"territory". Or is there another utility that would take a set of points
(350+ spread across a large geographic area in this case) and divide
them into groups based on some criteria such as max distance from
centroids or by min/max number of points in a territory, or something
like that?

Thanks,

Rick
