Dear All,

I would like to display some gridded rainfall data in ArcGIS 8.3. I
have the data in ASCII format in very coarse resolution at 2.5 degrees
by 3.75 degrees and I wish to display this at the same resolution with
no interpolation.

I am converting the ascii data to grid data using ArcToolbox but there
appears to be a problem when I come to display the converted data. Is
it not possible to display rectangular boxes? I know I could display
the grid boxes if they were square (e.g. 2.5 by 2.5).

I am grateful for any help.

Regards,

Rees

ARC/INFO regards a Grid as having intrinsically square cells, so as
you state it, you can't do it. A possible work-round:

Use the Net sub command of the Generate command to create an array of
rectangular polygons. Create an numeric attribute whose numbering
corresponds to the order of your data, then use the joinitem or relate
commands to bring your values into the coverage.
