GME provides you with a suite of analysis and modelling tools, ranging from small 'building blocks' that you can use to construct a sophisticated work-flow, to completely self-contained analysis programs. It also uses the extraordinarily powerful open source software R as the statistical engine to drive some of the analysis tools. One of the many strengths of R is that it is open source, completely transparent and well documented: important characteristics for any scientific analytical software.

GME incorporates most of the functionality of its predecessor, HawthsTools, but with some important improvements. It has a greater range of analysis and modelling tools, supports batch processing, offers new graphing functionality, automatically records work-flows for future reference, supports geodatabases, and can be called programmatically.

GME is a stand-alone program that can be started from the Windows Start button -- Programs -- SpatialEcology. It has both a GUI interface (mouse-driven) and a command line interface for scripting.

GME currently has dependencies on R and ArcGIS. Use the table below to identify compatible versions of the software. If you are upgrading any of the dependencies, it is recommended that you use Control Panel to uninstall the old version first.
