Hawth's Analysis Tools for ArcGIS

I have found this ArcGIS analysis tool very useful. Probably some of the functionalities are now available with latest version of ArcGIS. But, those who are still using previous versions of the software try this handy but powerful tool.

You can create and manipulate both vector and raster files with this tool. Here is a brief list of the functionalities of the tool…

Create line with XY data
Create vector grid (both lines and polygons)
Clip raster
Extract raster edge
Count points in polygons
Generate random points
Add area and length field to table

The tool has been developed by Hawthorne L. Beyer and available at free of cost (thanks to Hawth!). Two versions of the tool (for ArcGIS 9.x and 8.x) are available in the following link. Installation instructions are also available in the page.
