File Format
All data received were in MapInfo format and were converted into ESRI shapefiles using FME Workbench.
Projection
All data were projected in Transverse Mercator NAD 1983 UTM Zone 10N.
Modifications to Data
The forest stand data was re-aligned at some locations to a better fit, and the Stanley Park Causeway was re-drawn to better fit the forest stand.
Importing into IDRISI
All shapefiles were first imported into IDRISI Andes as vector files, then rasterized using the IDRISI RASTERVECTOR module.
