Enabling import of FalconView data allows for geoprocessing in FalconView. There has been talk of placing OGC Simple Features Access interfaces on FalconView overlays to allow generic imports of
all FalconView data into ArcGIS types
Importing Other FalconView Data into the GIS Editor

ArcGIS Geoprocessing Tools in FalconViewTM
• All licensed ArcGIS geoprocessing tools will show up in a toolbox format.
• GTRI is using “old” style geoprocessing access to enumerate and instantiate tools (IEnumGPToolbox and a IEnumGPTool).
GTRI_B-15FalconView GIS Editor / UNCLASSIFIED - 15
Building a GUI to Specify Geoprocessing Tool Parameters
• Each tool UI is built for the particular GPValue type represented. A class structure defines controls for each value type.
