Scholars GeoPortal is a geospatial discovery tool that provides access to large scale geospatial datasets that can be used for mapping or analysis.

The CHASS Canadian Census Analyser allows members of the University of Toronto research community to generate custom tables from the Census of Canada (1961-2016) and the National Household Survey (2011).

SimplyAnalytics is a web-based data visualization application. It can be used to create simple thematic maps and tables from census and other socio-demographic data, as well as business point data.

1. Open Scholars GeoPortal by going to http://geo.scholarsportal.info

Example 1: Batch Clip

This first example model will be used to process a batch clip. It will iterate through shapefiles in a directory, and clip each one based on another shapefile’s area, and save the new clipped shapefiles to a different directory.

For an accessible introduction to coordinate systems and map projections, please see the Coordinate Systems and Projections page in the Scholars GeoPortal user guide.
