Adding image and bitmap layers to a .pix file

EASI Modeling uses a single input file. The model is performed directly on the database file. It is recommended that you keep a copy of the original input file before running the model. You can also test the model using bitmaps instead of image layers, where applicable.

The Modeling window provides the option of displaying the results to the view pane. It is not necessary to save this new layer back to the database, as the modeling program operates directly on the database file, rather than the display. When you review the results on-screen, you can delete the new layer by right-clicking the layer in the Maps tree and clicking Remove.

From the Files tree, right-click a file and click New and then click Image Layer (or Bitmap Layer).
From the Tools menu, click EASI Modeling.
In the EASI Modeling window, from the Input File list, choose an input file from the Input File list box.
Click in the model box and type a model (for example, %12=(%1-%2)/(%1+%2);). If you want to display the model results in the view pane, enable the Display Result check box.
Click one of the following buttons:
- Run: executes the model
- Clear: clears the model box
- Load: opens an existing model with files using the .eas file name extension
- Save: saves the model to a text file using the .eas file name extension
