ArcGIS Desktop

ArcGIS Desktop is a collection of software products that runs on standard desktop computers. It is used to create, import, edit, query, map, analyze, and publish geographic information. There are four products in the ArcGIS Desktop collection; each adds a higher level of functionality.

• ArcReader is a free viewer for maps authored using the other ArcGIS Desktop products. It can view and print all maps and data types. It also has some simple tools to explore and query maps.
• ArcView provides extensive mapping, data use, and analysis along with simple editing and geoprocessing capabilities.
• ArcEditor includes advanced editing for shapefiles and geodatabases in addition to the full functionality of ArcView.
• ArcInfo is the full function, flagship GIS desktop. It extends the functionality of both ArcView and ArcEditor with advanced geoprocessing. It also includes the legacy applications for ArcInfo Workstation.

除了上述四种产品,还有许多扩展产品.

至于价格,只列举一个:

ArcView 9, Single Use License—Desktop visualization, query, analysis, integration, and data automation capabilities $1,500.00

那些服务器版的价格就更不敢想了.
