The Bushfire Attack Level Computation Software 

==============================================

This software is an ESRI ArcGIS 10.2 toolbox used to produce Bushfire

Attack Level (BAL), a measure of the severity of a building's

potential exposure to bushfire. The algorithm is based on Method 1 in

Australian Standard AS 3959 (2009)--*Construction of buildings in

bushfire-prone areas*.

Dependencies 

------------

This toolbox is developed and tested within ArcGIS 10.2 that

integrates with Python 2.7 and Numpy 1.6.2.

For more information on installation of the toolbox, see

[docs/install.rst](https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/BAL/blob/master/docs/install.rst),

or the [User

Guide](https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/BAL/blob/master/docs/BAL.pdf).

For detailed instructions on installation of these dependencies,

please see the documentation for each individual library.

* [Python](https://www.python.org/)- v2.7 preferred

* [Numpy](http://www.numpy.org/)- v1.6.2 preferred

* [Arcpy in ArcGIS 10.2](http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.2/index.html#//000v000000v7000000/)

Usage

-----

First download the repository into your local computer,

e.g. C:\\bal. where you will find **BAL.tbx**. Then add the toolbox

into ArcGIS 10.2 following the steps below:

* Open the ArcToolBox window. 

* Right click **ArcToolbox** at the top of the window.

* Select **Add Toolbox...**, a dialog box is open. 

* In the dialog box, navigate to the location of the package, for

  example C:\\bal.

* Select **BAL.tbx** and click **Open**, a new toolbox called **BAL**

  is added to the ArcToolbox.

Testing the installation

------------------------

The code includes a suite of unit tests that ensure elements of the

code base work as expected. The code should be tested before running

the toolbox. Users will need to install the Nose package to run these

tests.

The test suite can be run from the main directory. On Windows, run the

run_test_all.cmd script from the main BAL directory.
