I am trying to remember a term used in GIS that I heard used by a GIS
person. It has similar meaning to the word 'transposed'. It is used to
describe this process:
Suppose I have a rectangular transect in a landscape that runs something
other then straight east-west or north-south, ie, at some diagonal. The
illustration here shows this where 0 is 'not transect' and non-zero is
the transect, with each number representing (let's say) a vegetation type:
000000000
000000132
000003440
000044400
000443000
004330000
033300000
This GIS person cuts/rotates this transect such that you end up with
data that looks like this:
344431
334443
333442
The purpose of this is that the 2nd data set is much easier to work
with, computationally, than the first.
Anybody know the word I am looking for?
Thanks!
