Jenks Natural Breaks

DanielSanders — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 13:07:58 GMT

I would like to calculate Jenks Natural Breaks for a set of data inside an ArcGIS Silverlight application.
What is the best way to do this? Is there an ArcGIS class that would handle this, or would I need to create a web service to access ArcGIS Server?

Thanks...

Hi

Can you classify your data in your Map Document (MXD) and use a Dynamic Map Service or does the classification need to be dynamic and on the client?

If dynamic and client side then you could take a look at the following link to get an idea of how to create a class that will allow you to classify your data...(I think this is part of GeoTools I believe it is opensource but check the licensing oh and its in Java but should be simple to convert to .Net)

Yes, the classification needs to be dynamic. Thanks for the link! I'll check it out...
