Hi -

I want to generate sets of even, rectangular polygons (not lines) in
ArcGIS / ArcView to simulate fixed-width transects. Ideally, I would
be able to split the transects into 'n' even-sized subunits.

I'm aware of DNR's transect and point generator extension for ArcView,
but need an extension or script that would generate POLYGONS and split
them as described.

Failing this, how does one get ArcView / ArcGIS to split up a polygon
into even sections?

Would appreciate any help on this.

You use the GENERATE command with the FISHNET option, from the ARC
Workstation prompt.
